General LF Discussion

Something isn't right here... how can an accident be "scheduled" until noon Sunday?

Wow, I knew the Garden State Parkway was bad at times, but I didn't know that your area could "schedule" accidents!   I'm hoping in reality that they plan to reopen the lanes that are blocked on Sunday.

Have you been on the Parkway before Patrick? That highway is HEAVILY congested during summer weekends, especially from the AC Expressway southward.

I've only been on it once, but that one experience was enough for me even though I didn't see any accidents.  I'm aware why the traffic portion of your LF would be so busy now based on some stories others in NJ have shared with me over the years.

[Mike M]

Yeah, I almost always see traffic accidents and construction coming from the NJ Turnpike and the Parkway. Those roads are hectic.

Anyone have any idea how this happens? I find it interesting that this happened again, considering I caught just back in November...

[Mike M]

The weather.com reports for Dewitt (where the airport is) doesn't show a 95 degree reading at all for yesterday, so that is a mystery.

[TWCToday]

Yea probably just a sensor error

[wxntrafficfan]

Well what's funny is that when this happened back in November


102 (coincidentally our all time record high) was reported for a high, but also a low of 4 was reported... which was a daily record low that day.

This time though, it's only the high that is mistaken. But if you look at the F6 report for Lansing... the high appears as normal (I have attached it here). Also Mike, the information that shows up on the almanac actually is directly from the airport itself... and is not HiRAD based.

Nobody said anything about hirad

Weird error.

I wished I lived in a city that had the almanac in the LF while I had cable instead of seeing moon phases and sunrise/set times.

That's still the almanac.

It just sounded like he was talking about HiRAD since he mentioned weather.com's report for Dewitt for yesterday, and we all know how dependent TWC is on the NWS these daze

Is it possible to have only one line on a daypart of the text based?

[Mike M]

Is it possible to have only one line on a daypart of the text based?

I remember a couple times it being like this on version one (may have video of it too), but I don't think it's possible on the current version because of how the margins on the text area is smaller due to the weather graphics on the right.

Right. With the v1 IntelliStar it was possible to have a one-line text-based forecast, but with v2, the shortest you can have will always extend to the second line.
