Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

Was the outdoor activity forecast discontinued? I haven't seen it on my STAR in nearly a year, even after the traffic maps being discontinued. I still, however, see the schoolday forecast during the school year.

How come this new show is being called "Lightning Rod" just out of curiosity?  Is it a nickname for Mark Elliot on the radio as a meteorologist, or is it just a random title that was assigned to this show?

I don't know, but it sure is a random name for a show I'll tell you that.

A classic example is the Head on ad. xD

I completely forgot about HeadOn.  Do they even make that crap anymore?

I haven't seen commercials for HeadOn in about two years, but I still see ads for other products by the same company, such as RenewIn.

Maybe she wanted to forget about her old husband whose last name was Perez and use Cunningham all the time?

except for the long wait for the guy to come hook everything together.

That was the case here when they were hooking up our phone service back in 2005. It took like 3-4 hours.

Good to have you back. When you get the chance do you think you can give us some pics or video of your new local forecast?

BTW Brian, I love that quote on your signature. I vividly remember hearing that following the Michelin-sponsored Travel Wise segments in the late 90's... "because so much is riding on your tires."

Carl wasn't on Weekend Now this morning, so I am assuming he was filling in for Kelly on WV (I didn't watch).

Yes he was, it was Carl and Betty on 7am WV.

As for Alex, the NWS, believe it or not, is "overhyping" the storm if you will. They've had a graphic for it at the side of the front page since it was a depression yesterday.

TWC Today News / Re: Profile Modifications

I guess this would be something like YouTube has.

A lot of other boards have this, including the old TWCC boards.

Have you considered adding an "interests" profile field yet? This can just appear in the profiles and not in everyone's posts like the STAR-related fields. I think it's a great way to get more info on our fellow forum posters.

Sorry for the sudden topic change, but Happy 3rd Birthday to TWC Today!!

That's strange...I thought this site had been around since 2005.

TWCT was originally just a free hosted message board, which opened in early 2005, but the TWCT we know now didn't launch until June 2007. The site actually launched around early-mid June; this particular SMF forum just didn't open until the 25th (after we encountered an issue with the old Invision-esque forum).

On YWT, Stephanie mentioned that weather producer Jess is pregnant.

Jess Arnoldy?

I'm surprised she's on so much. I thought she said she hated being on camera.
