It's a secret.

Could be that my cable feed is ahead of yours.

BTW, the request I was talking about was the addition of a Tides screen to my IntelliStar. I was talking with the tech support team over the phone and he said he wrote up a support ticket for it.

Interesting. I thought TWC is broadcasted on all feeds at the same time?

Some feeds are slower, like the cable on my tv feeds the cable connection a few seconds faster than my sister's tv.

Nice! Where did you get the maps from? NWS?

Yes, I just changed the brightness and contrast of them.

I have seven YouTube accounts in my pants.

Why do you need that many accounts imp?

Those generic human paper cut outs they were using for holiday openers in 2007 are back for the Independence Day opener.

Well, we've been lucky so far this year. So far we have had no Atlantic named storms through the start of July, the latest since 2004.

I don't think we'll see any action until August like it was in 2004. I wonder if it will really take off after August like it did then. We went from an A storm to a J storm in just a month's time!

Starting this September, I'm hanging up the towel on making XL v1 emulations and focusing on v2, so I'm been doing rough drafts of radars for it, it needs a lot of improvement to pass as the real thing, but I think I'm off to a good start. I also whipped up a rough draft version of the original XL radar.

LAYLA IS BACK!!!!  About friggin time!

Agreed! This is not the best playlist ever, but I have been desperate to hear Rushing and Shine On You Crazy Diamond since I had clips of them from '07, but lost them. This is awesome! I finally get to take a couple of my wanted songs off my list, and I like TWC's new playlist division idea. Overnight should go until 6 AM, and I like being able to hear more songs.

I like the 4 Playlist concept too, I'm also glad to hear Layla by Eric Clapton, that's been my favorite song to play on TWC since I heard it in 2001.

I agree! I remember seeing them a lot back in July 2006 while watching heatwave coverage in NYC. They were very comical and handled the weather professionally IMO while being a little jokeful to it. Hill was hot.

It's a shame how I didn't hear how good the pairing was until around early August. And of course just mere weeks later they were broken apart.

I know they were a great team and it sucks that it had to be ruined because a perverted man couldn't control his swizzlestick urges.

I can only see the morning list.

You have to click on the tabs labeled daytime, primetime, overnight etc.

So does this mean there will be more songs playing on the playlist than usual since there's 4 playlists now instead of 3? IDK what to think of the morning playlist, but this 4 playlist is kind of interesting and doesn't sound too bad. The only song I heard from the morning playlist is "Global Cooling" by Joyce Cooling, it's a good song imo.

Banned because I must not be in my right mind because I do like the winter and thunderstorm/rain icons.
