« on: February 14, 2009, 08:35:05 PM »Everytime I upload a video to YT, it keeps processing for over an hour. What's the deal? I uploaded just a few emulator clips that usually take 5 minutes to process but they're taking over an hour.Yeah, I've noticed that today, too. It took over three hours for it to process.

« on: February 14, 2009, 05:42:51 PM »Ok, well I guess I was wrong about Forecast Earth being over with...I just saw a commercial for ICHT and FFN airing from 2-4PM today. Could this just be a mistake, or had the 2-hour afternoon block going to air on weekends too? I certainly hope not.It's a trade-off. Since Forecast Earth is presumably over with, the 5pm hour will now be free for PME or WWC.

Apparently she is taking some classes to become an OCM.

Why did you choose Meteorology?
Initially, I didn't. I worked in TV News for more than a decade before making the switch. I've done everything from covering crime to health reporting to entertainment. After Hurricane Katrina, I became very interested in weather and it's life-changing effects. Now I'm studying Meteorology full-time in addition to traveling from storm to storm to cover the "human side" of weather. I really love it!

AREAS AFFECTED...PA...ERN WV...MD...VA
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 20...
VALID 120100Z - 120200Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 20
CONTINUES.
A FINE CONVECTIVE LINE CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM NW OH SWD ALONG THE
SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS...IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ENEWD INTO THE
MID-ATLANTIC THROUGH LATE EVENING. ALTHOUGH THE WIDESPREAD POTENTIAL
FOR WIND DAMAGE SHOULD DECREASE...ENOUGH OF A WIND DAMAGE THREAT
SHOULD CONTINUE FOR WW ISSUANCE UPSTREAM FROM WW 20.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A WELL-DEVELOPED DRY SLOT
EXTENDING SWD FROM CNTRL OH SWD INTO FAR WRN VA WITH RUC ANALYSIS
SHOWING VERY STRONG LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
DRY SLOT. THIS ALONG WITH STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR IS SUPPORTING A
SQUALL-LINE LOCATED JUST TO THE EAST OF THE DRY SLOT. ALTHOUGH
INSTABILITY REMAINS VERY WEAK AHEAD OF THE LINE...THE VERY FOCUSED
ASCENT COMBINED WITH STRONG UPPER-LEVEL DIVERGENCE SHOULD ALLOW THE
LINE TO BE MAINTAINED EAST OF THE APPALACHIAN MTNS INTO THE
MID-ATLANTIC LATE THIS EVENING. FORECAST RUC SOUNDINGS ACROSS CNTRL
AND NRN VA THIS EVENING SHOW MORE MOISTURE IN THE LOW TO MID-LEVELS
THAN IN AREAS FURTHER NORTH SUGGESTING THE LINE HAS A BETTER CHANCE
OF REMAINING STRONG OVER THE SRN HALF OF THE MD AREA.

Does anyone have a clip of the song "The Schwartz Be With You" by Ken Gregory from the January 2007 playlist? I thought I remember it being posted on YouTube, but I can't find it anymore.
Thanks.

Personally, I love it that we here in Pennsylvania have a public smoking ban. I hated going into restaurants and having it smell like smoke. Sure, they had smoking and non-smoking sections, but that didn't really make a difference because the whole place smelled like smoke anyway. I mean, if you wanna smoke, step outside for a few minutes and do it.
