When I was a little girl my mother would have it on as I played with my barbie dolls. I've always had a fasination with the weather. I guess you could say that I am a second generation weather channel fanatic.  :)

I guess I could say I'm the first generation, cuz my family depended on me in regards to the weather.

I started watching the Weather Channel in 1990, but I was hooked to TWC for good when they covered Hurricane Andrew on August 24, 1992.  Nobody does hurricane coverage like TWC, and John Hope is forever the king of tropical weather experts.  I miss him.  :(

My parents always ask me what the weather is. If not my mother goes on AccuWeather *shivers* crappy forecasts.

Same here. If my mom forgets to ask me, she goes to WPVI news, which uses CrappuWeather.

the 1990's was when i started getting interested with The Weather Channel, then i moved to an small rural area after living in near by Greenville, I live in rural Campbell and the only way i got The Weather Channel was Satellite  anyway i quit being interested with TWC for an long time until i rediscovered it during Katrina when i went to an Garage sale in near by Commerce and saw an TV that was hooked up and on The Weather Channel and the people who live there where the garage sale was was watching the latest info on Katrina, and i saw TWC again when i went to an hotel to be in an safe place (because i live in an Mobile Home, which is dangerous to be in bad weather like thunderstorms/tornadoes/hurricanes) when Rita hit and North TX could had be hit too, but we in North TX lucked out on that. anyway after that the next time i watched TWC was in 2007 when i first got the Dish Network dish. and been watching ever since.

I will never know for sure.  :thinking: I have basically grown up with The Weather Channel. It has always been an interest and at times, a fascination to me   :)

I Really Got Into TWC In October 2005 When They Still Had Good Graphics. But on 12/12/06, I Started To Have Different Thoughts When The New Icons Appeared. This Really Got To Me When I Became A HUGE TWC Fan In February 2008 When The IntelliStar Had Had The New  :censored: ty background for several months. Then, The LDL Got Changed In June Which I Did Not Mind That Much, But After thinking About It For A While, It Made Me Miss The Old Graphics/Icons Even More! Twc Is Not Doing A Very Good Job With Weather Icons And Graphics These Days...  :angry:

I agree, Lightning.

The problem with the newer icons is that for the average drive-by viewer coming to get the forecast, they're VERY hard to read.
