My brother just got back from a trip from Portland, OR and while stopping at The Dalles briefly on his way home, he said he saw an XL.

Okay, so I didn't see it myself, but it counts, right??

(2000) WeatherScan Satellite Feed
So you had the satellite feed too? Now I wonder if I had it too for a short time before my Weatherscan XL debuted, which was sometime in early 2001 (or perhaps late 2000). I probably did, but just didn't know about it (I came across Weatherscan Local by sheer luck when I was flipping channels, I wasn't notified about it).

My brother just got back from a trip from Portland, OR and while stopping at The Dalles briefly on his way home, he said he saw an XL.
I swore I saw an XL LDL somewhere around the net that said The Dalles on it. I'll see if I can find it..

Mike and Derek, Wikipedia's list of known places that a WeatherStar XL exists does include The Dalles, OR. :yes:

There probably will be boatloads of older STARs in upstate New York.
