Old Man Winter Pays A Visit

Old Man Winter Pays A Visit

Monday and Tuesday was the ideal Spring type day with temps in the low 80s, but today we got a serious reality check once temperatures plummeted nearly 40 degrees, struggling to get out of the 40s/low 50s! Our high occurred overnight with temperatures falling and holding steady during the day.

Local Forecast / Question About the XL v1

« on: October 19, 2011, 01:20:21 PM »

I'm curious to know, did the XL v1 ever display the text "overcast" on the current conditions screen? I think I recall seeing that before when I had the XL, but on V2.

I'm not that tech savvy on technical specs., but mine is 1TB, I looked it up and apparently that equals 1,024 GB. Is that right?

I wanted to work on a new Lower3rd for my name and I figured why not use my favorite news station and graphics for it.

ROUGH DRAFT - It's not exact, but it's not too bad for a first try 


Compared to the real one...

Maybe they're making some sort of changes to some IS2s whatever that may be. Seems kinda odd so many are unavailable or intermittently unavailable. That's just my theory.

I don't like Crystal or Chris either, then again I don't care for most the new OCM's anyways.

As for Sam, how long has she been M.I.A. for? I imagine it's less then 2 weeks then she is probably on vacation

Not sure, the last time I can remember seeing her was in June.

While I like Chris abd Crystal, I'd rather see Kelly and Paul.

Me too! Chris does a pretty good job, but from the times I have watched Crystal, I feel like she has no personality. As I mentioned earlier, I really miss the Paul/Alex pair for EE.

Really? I feel they both lack personality. I never liked Chris Warren, he looks so uncomfortable on camera and his facial expressions and emotions feel "forced" to me.

While I like Chris abd Crystal, I'd rather see Kelly and Paul.

Yeah, I agree. BTW, what happened to Sam? 

I'm getting a little concerned myself, I don't like for OCMs to go M.I.A for too long given TWC/NBC's history these past few years.

What If....Dual Language Local Forecast Concept [ENGLISH/SPANISH]

A random idea I had the other day, What if the Local on the 8s was in English and Spanish?

Weather data is accurate, except the radar and I forgot to change "Cloudy" on the LDL to "Nublado" in Spanish.

I'm not fluent in Spanish so I did cheat by using a translator, so I can't vouch for everything being exactly accurate translated.

2:29pm EDT on the HD feed

The screen for the 5 Day forecast on the HD Satellite LF was blank when Trammell came up.
