Everything Else TWC / Re: New Graphics and Icons
« on: March 11, 2010, 06:44:05 PM »I can't recall whether it was before or after the 9:08 AM ET LF.... But I know at least it was somewhere between 9:02 and 9:20.What time was it? I can get it for youYep that was it!!! You didn't capture it by any chance did you?? I remember when they used to "plop" the icons on like that. One time Dave Schwartz plopped like 15 of the XL thunderstorm icons on top of each other to illustrate a squall line.I just saw them use the XL icons on air
For real? That would be awesome if these icons were a joke and they brought the XL ones back. The raindrops on these new ones look total catoon-ish, while the XL ones were designed just perfectly. However, I really like the new LDL. For some reason, it reminds me of the XL LDL, even though they don't look anything alike.
I saw it too!!!! Earlier today, Stephanie was using the telestrator to emphasize snow on the east coast and she plopped 4 old-school snow icons on, cleared them, then put two more on. I laughed.
lol sorry for going OT. I'll take my reminiscing elsewhere..

Is anyone else having the issue with the scroll bar scrolling to the top of a long reply or PM every time you type a letter? It's incredibly annoying!

Local Forecast / Re: Fair Skies vs. Sunny/Clear Skies
« on: March 10, 2010, 09:47:07 AM »
Twcfan gave a pretty good description. This is why in the early '90s you'll see 4000s, 3000s, and juniors giving "Clear" as an observation. In the late '90s-early '00s, many switched to automated sites. Like he said, the automated sites can only report up to 12,000 ft.. so when they reported clear (CLR), it would show up as "Fair" or "Clear Below 12,000 ft" on the legacy STARs.
Example:
METAR KWVI 101253Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 04/03 A3011 RMK AO2 SLP196 T00440033
This would show up as "Fair" on the XL and "Clear Below 12,000 ft" on the 4000 and junior.
METAR KRHV 081850Z VRB05KT 10SM SKC 25/06 A2986
This would show up as "Sunny/Clear" on the 4000 and XL (depending on time of day), and simply "Clear" on the junior.
Hirad is totally different. It takes into account so many things...like nearby observations, radar, satellite, etc. This is why your IS observations may be different from what's on the XL.

« on: March 08, 2010, 06:23:37 PM »Ohh, is it the exit exam then?? I remember the CAHSEE. I didn't think it was thaaaaaaat bad. I did really well on that. Now I've got lots of nasty tests coming up. I got the SAT this Saturday, ACT next month, the subject tests next month, and the AP exams.I'm not quite clear what test you guys are referring to... Is it the standardized test?
I'm pretty sure they are referring to that, Derek. CA doesn't have them till late April-early May.
Right now it's the CAHSEE (CA High School Exit Exam). Man, that test was a pain in the.

lol like I've said, I've become totally different these last few months. I listen to plenty of other stuff besides TWC jazz all the time. And one of the songs I heard on WUWA was one of my favorite non-TWC songs. Only I'm not really sure at what time this WUWA playlist runs..

« on: March 03, 2010, 07:48:03 PM »Aww that's a shame. So I won't hear a song that aired say.. 2 weeks ago on WUWA? :/Does WUWA have a set playlist, or is it a different song each time?They have a set of songs that play each day (i.e. the song that plays at 6:48 AM ET also airs at 10:48 AM ET that morning), which change from day to day. It's been like this since the week of Labor Day, IIRC.
