Oh, too bad!
This is the difference between a blizzard and an ordinary winter storm. Q is considered the latter of the two. So, this means the long form stays on the air without much in the way of additional coverage. I've always held that severe weather, though disastrous and inconvenient, makes TWC so much more watchable.

If they ever go through with making LF's 60 seconds exclusively, then I will declare a shark jump. 
Arguably, this has already happened between the addiction to long-form, the questionable removal of some OCM's, and the new LF music format, but I feel that 60-second LOT8's only will represent a true shark jump more than anything we've seen so far. In a 60-second format, some segments have to be left out, or else each segment must go by faster. Both of these outcomes lead to a less complete LF.

$3.49, but some nearby stations go as high as $3.69. How about that $4 gas this summer!

Local Forecast / Re: February 2013 Playlist
« on: February 16, 2013, 10:45:30 PM »Set Fire to the Rain by Adele
Is there any chance the Grammys swayed the playlist?
It's funny because I hear "Set Fire to the Rain" (which won a Grammy this year) on the radio fairly regularly. I suppose this song's not too bad for vocal LFs, since the title of the song even refers to a weather condition, athough if they're going to play Adele I would rather hear "Rumour Has It" (and in particular the bridge portion of that song).With all of that being said, this playlist isn't any worse than last month's IMHO. It actually seems better to me, if for no other reason than the fact that the January playlist lasted so long.

Don't you like thrill rides? 
I've seen local TV stations use similar views when the meteorologists are doing their forecasts on remote from local events such as fairs and the like. I guess TWC's lowering itself to their level. I agree wholeheartedly about the ocean color, but I guess they did it to differentiate the normally-blue water from the always-blue 30°'s to 40°'s temperature range.

Winter Weather / Re: Blizzard for New England 2013

They're apparently catching just a little backlash over naming winter storms and particularly over this one being named Nemo. No matter where the name came from, most people now seem to think of a Disney movie when they hear the name. Furthermore, it seems as though the criteria for naming a winter storm is up for grabs. Some people even think that other types of weather events will begin to be named following this logic.
