General Discussion / Re: What is the last thing you bought?

A Cherry Dr Pepper. You know, it was promoted as being "smooth," and that made me think of the smooth jazz that once aired on the LFs.

General Discussion / Re: NEW "Network Weather Channel" to launch nationwide
« on: August 07, 2013, 10:53:38 PM »
The effects of a new network could be twofold. The presence of a competitor may cause TWC to rethink its ways and shape up. The revolving door of OCMs and the abundance of longform are two areas which I think could be improved. If TWC doesn't take the hint and stays the same, Network Weather will at least be there to pick up the slack.
The potential negative outcomes as I see them are a Network Weather which doesn't catch on or a highly successful Network Weather that TWC ends up buying out to eliminate the competition. Either one of these scenarios would reaffirm the monopoly, but the latter is unlikely IMHO as I don't think TWC would take Schwartz or Johnson back.

Come on, TWC! What's next, reality-show-esque "goodbye promos" for the OCM's that get laid off?

Forecasting / Re: Accuweather launches "revolutionary" 45-day forecasts.....
« on: August 07, 2013, 10:40:14 AM »A joke indeed.
Seconded. It's hard enough for most meteorologists to get 7-day forecasts right, except for the really good ones of course. I believe it was said a while back that AccuWeather is actually AccuWrong.

Bye, Zach. I'm sorry about the way things are going. It seems like real life's taking a toll on the site lately, but things are bound to look up eventually.

Oh, no, that's not good! 
2013's been a suspiciously rough year for computers. I had a computer crash earlier this year, and several people I know have reported crashes mostly resulting in either complete data loss or restoration to outdated backups.
The summer heat we've started having lowers my opinion of a year as quick as anything. It hasn't been that bad of a summer up until August, though. July was actually slightly below normal, but August has started out above normal.

The logo must be there to remind people of the theme in case non-weather-related longform is aired.

General Weather Chat / Re: Summer Heat (Lack of)
« on: July 31, 2013, 07:15:24 PM »
This summer has been so unusual that it is in fact quite normal (at least on the temperature front) compared to the real scorchers we've had in recent years. There have been a few 100° days, but none of the month-long streaks seen in years like 1998 and 2011. June and even July have had below normal and record lows. Nonetheless, summer is making itself known now with 100° highs, humidity, and heat advisories. Overall, I'm not complaining, because there's only a month or so for any real heat to set in. I prefer it cold, by the way.
