Saw the rare thundersnow icon this morning during the LF. Unfortunately, by the time the next LF came around, the location was no longer reporting thundersnow.

No music on the second half of the 4:28 PM EST LF.

And then, a black screen for a couple minutes beginning at 4:30 EST.

An orange "Winter Weather Message" crawl is running on my IntelliStar. It looks to be the same thing as a Local Snowfall Report crawl.

My IntelliStar for Central Park, NY has failed to cue at 6:08pm ET, 6:28pm ET and 6:38pm ET.
I'm a weatherman. I love my weather. I would love to go any trips if the weather is nicer.

looks like the HD Sat has integrated the Squeezebar Sky Background.

Looks quite buggy. They need to loose that background for the maps.

Agreed. The new background just looks weird when used with the maps, but it fits the other screens better.

The reason it's not showing now is because the background failed during the transitions, don't be surprised it if reappears soon.

For those that didn't hear, Mattoon's WeatherSTAR XL crashed :cry3: late Wednesday night (3/16) and was replaced by a WS 4000 unit Thursday Morning. The Area Director of Mediacom made it sound like the 4000 is temporary until they get a replacement unit to replace the XL. We will see..
Until then, enjoy some Weatherstar 4000 clips..

This is when the unit was first initialized and did not have all of the correct info and maps.

How interesting!  I used to have "nightmares" when our 4000 was replaced with an XL over a decade ago that, for whatever reason, the XL would again be replaced with a 4000!

How interesting :thinking:. I guess they decided to go with the "ancient" 4000 unit. I assume they don't have the funds for an IntelliStar. :thinking:
