At 3:06 PM ET on Weather Center, before going to break, they used the Day Planner one-line lower third.

Your Local Weather / Re: Minneapolis-St. Paul Weather

Another late season snowstorm will move into the Twin Cities tonight and snow will continue throughout tomorrow and tomorrow night. About an inch is forecasted for Minneapolis tonight, with an additional 4-8 tomorrow and 1-2 inches tomorrow night.
To avoid possible confusion, the "MSP Int'l" naming convention you see on the metro map refers to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Since the full name is too long to fit on the map, I had to come up with an abbreviation, and this is the best I could come up with.
TWC calls for a Blizzard tonight for Aberdeen, something you don't often see on the forecast, especially this late. I don't know what icon is used for blizzards on the old icon set, so I just used the snow/windy icon. Minneapolis reported a rare condition on weather.com at 7 PM CDT tonight as well: wintry mix and thunder. The wintry mix icon was used on weather.com, but it would be interesting seeing a wintry mix/thunder on the IntelliStar (I've only seen it once on Weatherscan before in 2005).
I plan to do another update tomorrow afternoon, so stay tuned.

Is that Philadelphia where the video is at? Those scenes look very familiar...

You're not the only one, Billy. My eyes are worse than Gil's yet I can see a difference. Memphis is definitely a Helvetica-like font, whereas the others are interstate.

What I disliked about the XL's translucent LDL (as well as the ones in the previous Stars), was that it always had to turn off whenever a lower third or any other graphics displayed that would be blocked by the LDL. That always annoyed me. I was glad that they introduced an opaque LDL, along with lower thirds that don't have text that would be blocked by the LDL. The only thing I wish the current IntelliStar/XL LDL would have is a continuously displaying clock, rather than having the time and current temperature alternating.

Music in a metal case? That's odd. How much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking?
I got a 110% (33 out of 30) on my math test yesterday!

What's wrong with the opaque LDL? I've always liked it since it premiered on the XL.
