WeatherSTAR Tech Support / San Antonio IS2 - Nighttime Icon

« on: December 19, 2011, 05:23:16 PM »

Good Afternoon Star Team,

I've recently returned to San Antonio for the holidays and realized that on our HDStar, the night time icon for Isolated Thunderstorms is incorrect. it is currently programmed to show the "thunder in the vicinity" icon which is just the thundercloud and lightning without the rain.

I do not have the Star ID, but I thought I should report it anyway.

Thanks!

I just realized that lady is the same one that was on the Overnight Outlook intros

I think she was on some PM Edition intros too.

Fire alarm number eight went off last night, at about 4 in the morning. Someone in our dorm finds it funny to pull the thing every Tuesday or Wednesday of the week, and anyone who knows who is doing it is not turning the person in. I never saw the dorm faculty, the firefighters, or the cops so livid last night.

only 8? we've had over 20 fire alarms since aug 22 - imagine how residential staff feel when we have to respond to such situations.

it's not fun, especially when it is activated on the 10th floor of a high rise resident hall.

speaking of which, shortly after I posted this -- the fire alarm was activated =O, damn hair straightners

word of advice to those staying in resident halls/dorm rooms...don't ever set off the fire alarms overnight. you'll be dead the next morning.

I'll be an RA in one of our oldest highrise resident halls on my campus (Concho. Often called Dirty Conch lol), which is actually scheduled to be demolished next year. We were suppose to be living in our newest resident halls (Plaza Verde - fancy name), however, the contractor failed to meet the deadline, so now we're being housed in overflow with 500 angry freshmen. haha oh well.

I'm looking forward to this year, lots of challenges - but so ready to take them on. one by one.

i never understood this concept of people having the nerve to say "oh I have something to say, but I can't tell"

i'm actually a fan of this concept. i wouldn't mind it too much if it was permanent, but it does appear to be for extended coverage, which again, i wouldn't mind.
