As of 5am this morning the New Bedford IS2 disappeared and has been MIA since :( maybe it is after effects of the massive error that occurred last night.

WHY in the :censored: world does TWC consider Friday the 13th a holiday?!  It's not!  It was even on their "Holiday countdown" wheel.  Ugh.

Actually, when TWC Was in storm alert, my IS2's ldl and sidebar didn't pop up, and Friday the 13th was on the countdown wheel.

That explains the BG of the salt shaker lying flat on a table I saw this morning. I thought that was a strange BG, I forgot today was Friday the 13th at the time.

To be fair, I actually kind of like that black cat background. Those random backgrounds kind of reminds me of what TWC did back around 1986-87 with the random backgrounds for the WeatherSTAR III. Ironically, I also have a real black cat as a pet.
Classic TWC, Weatherscan, legacy WeatherSTARs, and classic Prevue/TV Guide fan.

I have not been getting those backgrounds on my STAR today, or the cat graphic. :no:

It's not only Friday the 13th, it's also a full moon. Hasn't happened in 98 years, won't happen for another 35... ;)

This. I like what they're doing for all these holidays. It gives the LF a more personalized or homey feel.

HiRAD appears to be down right now. Weatherscan is using it's alternative observation site on the sidebar, and my domestic IntelliStar is showing blank current conditions, text forecast, and daypart screens.

As of 9:28 AM ET, HiRAD still appears to be down on both my domestic and Weatherscan IntelliStar units. They're both missing random pieces of information.
