Local Forecast / Re: Local on the 8s split screen

Rawr, IMO any lf is incomplete without music

Definetely.

I'll be interested in seeing what the "local" LOT8s (whoa, does that make any sense? ) looks like. I wonder if it'll be the same for SD and HD.

I was wondering why a lot of his speech sounded familiar...

http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/alvin-felzenberg/2011/01/26/obamas-state-of-the-union-was-tantamount-to-plagiarism

So how come the President can plagarize without getting in big trouble, but we can't...what's going on here?

No. I'm the one who missed a BUNCH. HAI PEOPLES!!!! 

Hi Ana...how have you been lately?

To answer the confusion here, we gave a member one last chance to redeem himself the past week after being banned for six months, but the administrative team saw no improvement in terms of posting habits such as long-winded posts about only himself and his life.  Furthermore, he violated an agreement Martin placed with him regarding to not abuse the Tech Support thread.  Thus, we had to reinstate his ban.

Jesse, please ask about stuff like this in private first before posting it as it causes a lot of confusion for other members.  Then, we'll make an announcement about it if needed.  Hope that clears it all up!

Thanks for clearing confusion, Patrick.

What did he do wrong now to get permabanned? I haven't seen him do a single thing...

Hate to butt in on a conversation like this, but is there a deleted post somewhere between Mike's and yours Jesse? I must have missed something today.

This is an EXTREMELY cool idea! I am very impressed at the graphics, etc. they were able to do on this.

Went out yesterday to visit the local wind farm. If you've never seen one of these wind turbines up close, they're MASSIVE. These two are each nearly 400 feet tall (not sure of the height of the cell tower in the foreground). This picture was taken about three-tenths of a mile away from the turbines. I'm going to try to get some closer shots in the coming weeks.

Wow...400 feet? That IS massive. Like Mike, I had no idea they were that big. We used to have some off the highway on the way to the airport here, but I don't see them anymore (I guess we're not a green city).

And to think Allen Jackson/Jim Cantore had to record all these. (unless these phrases are not narrated...)

The LDLs (for both SD and HD) are all screwed up right now. I think they are showing current conditions from sometime last night (because it is NOT 27 and mostly clear here right now), and Friday's forecast (with no high) is showing.

Also, is this new wall going to be in the same place where the old one was?

Same thing I want to know, Mike. Have they been removing/changing the original behind our backs?

Uh, they already have a video wall...so where is this one going?

Whoa. This is going to be neat; I hope someone can get a clip, if possible.

Has anything been in the old A&B studio since...A&B? What about (what was going to be) Lightning Rod?

TWC makes TWC Primetime seem like something you should be excited about. Quite frankly, I don't think I'll be.

Imagine yourself as an average joe who watches TWC for the heck of it and not as a fan.. quite honestly your perspective would be different

And honestly, I guess it's just because I can't put myself in that position, I don't understand why the average joe would want to watch pointless crap that most of the time has NOTHING to do with even weather.

ZOMG GLOBAL WARMING MUST BE TRUE!!!11!11~


 

Ahh!!!

But anyway, Dallas can attest to a warm year (well, maybe summer). 107 degrees was our hottest high temperature; can't even remember the last time it got that warm.

And what about LA?
