COLDEST day of the season so far! High of 27! It is COLD outside. gonna be 16 degrees tonight!

On another note, some people at my school look disgusting in skinny jeans.

I've seen these freaky emo kids wear pants so skinny that I don't know how they breath. When I was in school, no kid was caught dead in pants so tight. 

On the snownote, I've got my dusting nw, so there!

I haven't done this much lately, but I'd like to welcome our newest member, wxforecaster. He is a meteorologist with NOAA. So, since we have our first meteorologist, I've gone ahead and created a membergroup especially for them.

And to quell any rumors before they get started, this is NOT the man that I said was coming this weekend (my "source").

So, I'm hanging over at the Eastern US WX boards, where my source is, and some jackass comes along and posts a link to TWC Classics.

Well, all I can say is god help anyone who ventures forth.

More late breaking details from my source. the Road Crew is history. He confirmed that the environmental department has in fact been axed, although he couldn't confirm Hedi Cullen's status. He tells me that TWC Radio took a MAJOR hit. He has also informed me that a long-time off camera meteorologist has been relieved of his duties.

This is getting more interesting by the moment!

Okay, they are forgiven for letting Dave go.

ROFL.

My invitee says he'll be by over the weekend. 

Be forewarned: DO NOT PM this man, UNLESS he expresses a desire to receive PM's. I expect everybody to treat this man with decency and respect, and to allow him his privacy. If even so much as a single PM ends up in his inbox against his wishes I'll ban the sender. Sorry to have to be so strict but as always there are a few folks who don't understand nice, so I have to be stricter than I'd like in order to get the message across to those people.

Most things should be discussed on the forum anyway. There's very little you should have to discuss with him via PM.

As far as I can see you didn't make anything. You just took the backgrounds out of the program (which in itself doesn't seem like anything spectacular).

Just learned from my source that about 80 people were let go total. This, he says, includes just about all of the marketing department. This information is coming from ACTUAL TWC EMPLOYEES. None of it is heresay.

That would make sense. With NBC's strong marketing department and tactics, TWC's marketing department would be one of the easiest to cut. After all, marketing doesn't have to be done within TWC - it could easily be done at NBC HQ in New York.

That's true. I never thought about that. 

That's what I'm here for.

I'd be lost without ya!
