"Capital Weather Gang"? I wonder if Adam Berg is in charge of that.

Oh ok. I'm curious, I wonder if this is a TWC OCM or even Brian Picard

Did you not read that Gary said? It is a FORMER employee. It's NOT Brian Picard for one thing.

This afternoon, from about 4-5 it was snowing pretty hard here, and it was sticking to the roads in some places.

Well, I guess all we can hope for is that these layoffs are just temporary, and things turn around soon so everyone effected can get their jobs back.

I just read on the easternuswx forums that Cheryl Lemke, Dave Schwartz, and Dennis Smith have all been let go.

Hmm, if Dave has indeed been laid off, he's certainly doing a good job at showing up for work today.

I can't see them laing of any OCMs. They are already shorthanded enough as is, and I can't really see them getting rid of any more OCMs.

My guess was that they were setting up for Storm Session, and then they recorded it during the long-form block.

If you're gonna go for a desktop, build it yourself. That's all I have to say for that case.

As for laptops, I had an HP, and the video card died after about eight months due to overheating. I got a Dell after that, and haven't had any problems with it thus far.

I was just at the mall today, and they had Santa's cabin up, with a whole line of little kids in line to meet him. 

Oh. My. God.

I hate America.

"The line ENDS here. It BEGINS there!"
"Santa's line stretched all the way back to Terra Haute, and I was at the end of it."

I don't think anyone will know what movie i'm quoting, either.

I do.
