I don't understand why our school doesn't do tornado drills. Sure, they don't happen often or anything, but severe weather safety should still be known about in schools.

To my knowledge, it's only going to be used during On the Edge with Peter Lik. There will no regular LDL, or the squeezeback  during On the Edge. The LDL will show at :07 or :08 for a minute and a half.

So if there's no squeezeback and just a short-time LDL, doesn't that completely go against everything TWC said about giving its viewers "live and up-to-the-minute" weather coverage? I can't believe they're nixing this idea already, even if it is for just one show.

Now this looks a bit more like 3D as compared to that other crap that was used for the "Top 5." It's still not as good as the clip Tyler posted, though.

Their graphics team is probably working on more stuff, so we might see more of this being used in the future.

Personally, I think the 3D stuff is pretty neat (if it looks more 3D-like than just an extended chroma key). Now is it absolutely necessary? Well, probably not. But I wouldn't say it's a complete waste of money.

Where the heck did spring go?


Daily high temp: Sunday, March 27
51°F
2 degrees BELOW the COLDEST average high for the area on January 6-13

Daily high temp: Monday, March 28
60°F
Average high for February 13-15 or November 29-December 2

Daily high temp: Tuesday, March 29
55°F
Average high for January 24-28 or December 21-26


I'm tired of these temperature swings.

This morning on WUWA and earlier on Day planner i noticed the show names being shown such as they would be during Primed for excitement on the LDL ad system.. seems thats now been implemented into all shows

Hasn't it been like that for awhile now? Anyways, I really like this idea (although it's surprising that they wouldn't want to show the ads the whole time).

I don't think it was ever used on TWC before appearing on the CD Playlist 

Yes it was...I remember hearing it on the LOT8s. The question is: when?

In Dallas, February could be considered the wackiest weather month. The statement "If you don't like the weather today, just wait until tomorrow" easily applies to February weather in Dallas. Here is a graphic showing the drastic temperature swing for the month.

Wow...that's so warm (more like burning HOT) for late February. We have temperature swings here in Dallas, too, but I don't think they're that drastic. One thing about winter in Texas...temperature swings are extremely common.

The clock seems to be such an issue to everybody. While I agree there SHOULD be one, there are those who say to just look in the room where you are watching TV...I'm sure there is a clock there.

This isn't happening to me at all. Is it only with select users?
