my guess is either they'll work at NBC's forecast centers, work at MSNBC, or they'll receive a pink slip and have to find a job in this crazy financial crisis of a job market we live in today...

Do we know if http://www.weatherplus.com/ is going down the drain too?

I think it would. It would probly redirect too weather.com.

Well, what makes you think about it? It could of been "weather.msn.com" (hence MSN and MSNBC).

I'm talking about NBC's sister station MSNBC. Microsoft even partnered with them since the network's launch in 1996. Its also part of MSN.
