OK its official. I am fried! Darn you sun

Fried as fried chicken? That's just highly unusual for me to see the East Coast in the 100's before me. 

Fried in a sense that you can use me as a red beacon! Owww. Sunburn hurts

I'd hate to be an attention grabber, but this is happening on a lot of STARs, especially during the text-LF. It probably happens because of the sponsor bug animations and the movie animations on the right-hand side of the text-LF.

Define a lot? Ive never seen it happen

alright, chill out. your explanation points are getting rather annoying, rather fast.

I guess its enough to excite anyone. I felt the same way when we had near recording flooding in November. I hope everyone is safe and the water recedes quickly

Going off topic for a sec, but I just noticed that you have the same regional map 27100 (FiOS Richmond) has.

Hmm interesting. Makes sense actually. There isn't that much use in centering the map on Norfolk and having half the map ocean

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / LDL Error on LF

It seems the IS is doing something funky to the top bar of my blue ldl. Its not the same as the other thread in which it fails to appear but appears almost as if the IS is rendering it improperly. Occurs on each local forecast

STAR ID: 22568

Well well well - isn't THIS a blast from the past!

You know - I think a couple of you guys/gals had emailed me in the past and told me about this site but someone sent me this particular link the other day and I thought - hey what the heck - I'll send a little reply.

I actually just (and I guess it's a little late for this) wanted to thank anyone and everyone who gave a darned that Road Crew went away - WeatherVentures wasn't renewed - and that I never did make it back into the studio once I was doing on line stuff.

Loved the people, loved the product and loved every last thing I was involved with as long as I was with TWC.

As things were changing over the last year or so it just seemed like it was time for a change while the dust settled.  So since leaving TWC I have been doing weather for a morning show (called The Morning Show) here in Fort Lauderdale.  If any of you are ever in town be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

That said - thanks to any of you who miss me on the network - and to those of you that don't - here's a big hug and a kiss anyway.

--Jeff

Welcome Jeff!! We all sure do miss you on TWC. Some of us, including myself took a little while longer to warm up to Road Crew but I miss the idea and the fun of it. The network seems to have strayed from fun and humor. I hope you are doing well in South Florida. Bet thats a nice change of scenery compared to Atlanta! I watched you a few times on your new show when you first started. Seems like you fit right in. Hope all is well and thanks again for stopping by and saying hello  I really am glad you are doing something more than weather.com videos now. You have a lot of talent and personality!

Haha!

It kinda irritated me to hear Carl Parker say how this was similar to the flooding here in Georgia back in September, our flooding pales in comparison to what is happening in TN.  I hope any folks that are asked to evacuate or are experiencing serious flooding are leaving to save themselves from the flood waters. All of those cars and 18 wheelers stalled out on the interstate are the exact reason and a good excuse as to why you're supposed to "TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN" when you see water like that.

Well its a little different (from what I heard anyway) in this case. As the floodwaters increased it created a backup and at some point the highway was shut down. However with a backup already in place and water rising really fast there wasn't anything that could be done to clear the road. So cars that were sitting in traffic perhaps 5hrs ago are now submerged.

Andy's modified logos will go in to effect after the tornado outbreak, or Monday, whichever is later.

That's good to hear, Jesse!  I look forward to seeing the new logos.

Glad to hear, Jesse! Patrick, just so you're not disappointed, they're not modified very much. I just made a few tweaks to make things look cleaner and better.

Thanks for doing that Appreciate it
