44° Fair

This morning's low was 39° with a wind chill of 32°, the coldest since March 30.

Also, last Sunday we received a much needed 1.87" of rainfall, which also broke a record (1.67" in 2006).

Happy Earth Day, everybody! Who here managed to hug their favorite tree?   

Couldn't enjoy the outdoors yesterday, it was pouring.

I don't know if this is a name TWC started calling it, but the snow "event" the NE is experiencing is known as "Snowpril."  How original.

I laugh at all these nicknames TWC comes up with.

I started using the timeline not long after it became available last fall. I've always liked it, to be honest.. and you're looking at a user who has had a Facebook since late 2006.

Oh, and Twitter is a joke.

From what I heard in the past the plan was to redo the SD forecasts to look like the HD version but I can't confirm if thats still the plan or if that ever was their intent. Personally I think its a safe bet to see the SD local forecast updated to reflect the format of the HD feed. How long that takes will remain to be seen

I can't see that happening unless they make a new platform, it's without a doubt not feasible on a computer with 9-10 year old technology. The intellistar is already being pushed to its limits with the LDL.

Completely new experience... could it be what I have been thinking what would happen... The Weather Channel rebranding as TWC?

Also in reference to "new sounds," I hope this doesn't mean Jim doing voiceovers. He can NOT narrate without sounding like Paul from NOAA weather radio. For god sake hire someone who specializes in voiceovers.

Yep, i had no idea till I came home. What still boggles is why they ordered an HD receiver, when it's not even hooked up to an HDTV.

Most of not all of Comcast's newest receivers are HD ones nowadays, unless you're in an area that still uses old equipment.. They don't charge extra for them anymore in most areas.
