Although, I've never heard of Millersville University.

That's where our very own beanboy89 attends school, and has for 4 years now..

It's also a school I once considered for undergraduate studies as I took a tour of the campus.

I could add so many more misconceptions to that video, Matthew.  Here's a good one:  "It's easy to make a forecast, so why do we need you?"  Oh, if only you knew how many variables you have to consider just to nail the low temperature for tonight, and today's models still do not accurately account for a rather alarming number of those!  Imagine how much more complex it gets when we add precipitation.  The reality is that you're seeing the huge gap in education here, and it's something that needs to be addressed soon as weather becomes an even bigger factor in our technological society.

Exactly. The public really needs to know what goes into making a forecast.

Mostly Sunny and 25 right now, however temperatures made it down to 17 last night, with wind chill values nearly in the single digits.

Local Forecast / Top 10 TWC Songs of 2011

« on: December 03, 2011, 11:57:44 AM »

I've complied a list of the top 10 TWC songs of 2011, based on the ''Best:'' songs as rated by some TWCT members on each playlist. There were MANY ties, so I've also attached a poll with the 10 songs so that I could change the order of the songs if needed based on second thoughts. Also, you can post your personal Top 10.

Here is the list:


1.- Timothy Drury - Night Drive

2.- Riders of the Ancient Winds - Craig Chaquico

3.- Brian O'Neal - Cocomatic

4.- Footsteps - 7and5

5.- Craig Chaquico - Tribal Runner

6.- Breathe In - 7and5

7.- Cafe Carnival - Craig Chaquico

8.- Stanley Turrentine - Side Steppin'

9.- Supernova - Ryan Farish

10.- Paul Taylor - Horizon

I saw the Ocala, FL IntelliStar (ID #22417) again today and its LDL cities were different than they were back in April.. they are now Ocala, Silver Springs and Gainesville. They previously were Ocala, Orlando D'town and Downtown Tampa. However, when I saw its almanac, the city on it was Leesburg.. doesn't Ocala have an airport of their own?

I'm not sure...but the observation site that the NWS uses for the Ocala area is: Ocala Municipal Automatic Weather Observing. But Leesburg is a good distance away from Ocala, about halfway between Ocala and Orlando.

I'm the only one that chose May/June, or even a playlist other than Jan/Feb. But I have to say, Jan/Feb was a very close second, almost a tie.

Happy Veterans Day everyone!  Also, happy 11/11/11.

Did anything special happen for you guys at 11:11 on 11/11/11?

In my Biology class, we all were staring at the clock at that time.

Something similar occurred sometime in 2006. You can hear a different song when the national feed comes on for a split-second at the beginning, then, the IS cues, and "Road to Venlo" airs.
