Wish there was a way to change the HDMI port on my laptop from output to input, haha.

On an unrelated subject, should I upload this HQ shot of the WV intro to replace the current low-res one on Wikipedia?

Sure why not. 

Anyone seen a condition like this before?

I know snow grains is a real condition, but no I never actually seen it before.

General Weather Chat / Re: NWS Question

« on: April 10, 2010, 06:42:46 PM »

I remember seeing these wordings in the NWS forecasts.  The mentioning of possible record highs or lows now shows up in the area forecast discussion instead of the text forecasts.  I suspect that the wording of the wind chill and heat index values was taken out to prevent confusion with the actual high and low temperature forecasts.

They still do the "Heat index values could reach 100 to 105 degrees" and "Wind chill values may fall to minus 5 to minus 10 degrees" or something similar here. I remember seeing both last year.

Yeah, I've seen them show the wind chill values phrase written into the text forecast for my area back in January this year.

I never was a fan of Steph and Mike being moved to the YWT slot. I always thought they worked perfectly in the evening, on Abrams and Bettes... where they belong imo.

It's funny when they on in the evening I loved watching them, but since they moved to YWT I don't really like watching them much at all. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Mike has gotten a little more arrogant too, like he's annoyed to work with Steph at times.

This is an emulation of the current version of the IntelliStar without the metro maps, schoolday forecast, and the traffic flow map. I also experimented with something once the Getaway forecast comes up.

The audio and narration was ripped from one of my IntelliStar recordings.

The song featured is "Starburst" by Bryan Steele.

Coming Soon.....

I told myself I wasn't going to emulate this version of the IntelliStar for obvious reasons and since it's the newest version, but since this version has undergone changes minor and major over the past 2 1/2 years, I thought it would be ok to do the original version that debuted back in October 2007.

YWT is officially ruined.

I gotta agree, it just looks out of place to me.

Anyone wanna take a crack at this one? I tried to figure the name of it when I saw this video 3 years ago. It seems like it could be something from Common Ground, but IDK.

Unidentified TWC song 1997

The user says this played in Q4 1996 playlist, but it isn't listed on TWCC.

The PM Edition Intro just played the 25th Anniversary Music!

They used it again this hour, too.

I think that's something they're planning on using for the top of every hour of Weekend PME for now on.

When I was at the mall earlier today, I heard and saw a guitarist playing "Sleep Walk" outside on a restaurant's patio deck.
