Banned because I spilled some spoiled milk this morning and cried for about an hour until I realized it was actually cottage cheese.

For all of you east of the Rocky Mountains that are wondering if winter is ever going to come, you're going to have your first real Arctic blast to start 2012.  Consider this remark a heads-up as I've already seen the models.

True but I wouldn't consider it a big cold spell. The highs here will be in the 30's and upper 20's, but if you compare it to last year, that would be everyday.

But everyone is so used to the mild weather that this sudden change in temperature will be a shock to many people if they're not prepared.  Rapidly changing the temperature by large amounts can result in some serious health issues.

Like the flu and stomach virus which gave me a one, two punch back in January/February 2010.  I've been ok at avoiding the flu or stomach virus since then. Definitely the worst feeling ever.

This congress (both democrats and republicans) has to be the most pathetic congress in the history of all mankind. What's the point of even having them? We could put flowerpots in their seats and progress would still move at the same pace. Sad, very, very, sad. It doesn't make sense that they drag their feet because they rather carry on pity childish fights with eachother worse than my 5 years old niece does than to work together to get the economy moving.

I'd love see at least some flurries, but that won't happen in Florida any time soon, at least central and south Florida.  But this is nice balmy weather right now. 

^ what he said

Although this is post Christmas, may your dreams come true  , even though this will inevitably be only a fantasy  The freezing line is just barely north of Miami, while it's 5 degrees here in Atlanta!

Too bad there hasn't been a push by NBC/TWC to replace these channels with WeatherScan. Pretty much a waste of an opportunity there. Who knows what they want to do with that product!

On our lineup, Weatherscan is the following channel ch 212, this Accuweather channel is 211. It bothers me more that this channel wasn't just scrapped all together a long time ago, like I said it was nothing but deadspace for 3 years and now all of a sudden they want to make it into an Accuweather channel? I can't view Weatherscan here since we only have Digital Starter and it's not apart of our package. I haven't seen Weatherscan in about 18 months now.

Here is a video of it for those who want to see how it's set up. I would have attached it, but I don't like the attach videos here that proceed 10mb.

I know this thread is super old, but I noticed this morning that our old decommissioned NBC Weatherplus channel (which has been deadspace for the past 3 years  ) finally has been changed to an Accuweather channel.

Interestingly enough, it still is labeled as "NBC Weather" on the info bar when I turn it on this channel so I guess more changes will probably be coming soon. It's basically still the same as before except that they do forecast segments from Accuweather and our NBC affiliate and there is still no production tracks so it's still mute besides a narrator who comes up at an odd time to say "Here is your Accuweather Local Doppler Radar" when it's actually displaying our NBC affiliate's local radar.

Also I believe this change took place sometime over the past few days during the Christmas weekend because last week it was only showing a loop of a local radar from WXIA-TV.
