After 24+ hours of a steady rainfall, the Metroplex picked up anywhere between 1 and 6 inches of rain over the past couple of days.  Additionally, two new records have been set for the wettest January 8 and 9 on record.  I have also posted the NWS's preliminary rainfall totals for the area...I apologize, but it is a pretty long list.

Uh guys, it would help to turn Vivian's mic on so that we can actually hear her.

Right before going to break at :35, Vivian's voice was just a faint echo, and they finally had to cut her off.  I'm sure this has probably happened numerous times, but it's still a blooper.

Hearing Lady Gaga and Imagine Dragons on the LFs this morning...

Since I don't track the playlist music as much as some of you do, it was quite a change. :blink:  Of course I've heard vocals on the LF before, but these pop songs made it a whole lot different.

General Discussion / Re: The Pot Belly Stove

Which is more easier: Computer Science or Information Technology? I am not majoring in either fields but I thought it was food for thought anyways.

I personally did not find Computer Science very easy.  It could have been my lack of interest.  I ended up doing well in the course, but I'd never take another computer science class again.

Haha, I feel the same way. :P  I took the most basic Computer Science class last semester (programming for non-majors) and just didn't have much of an interest for it.  But I was required to take it.  The assignments we had were very tedious and, IMO, too tedious for a non-major class.

Additionally, we programmed in C language, which most students claimed is a "dead" language.  I am not sure if this is true or not; I've also heard from some where it is the easiest language to learn having no prior programming knowledge, so maybe that is the reason why.

TWC was using a text scroll on the first forecast segment for each block of Weekend View.
Was this a test or is it going to be used regularly?
TWCHD 20130106 0800


I like the text scroll. They should use it all the time like most cable news channels do.
waaaaaaay too fucking much going on in that clip. If they're going to have a crawl, it needs to be bigger and they need to get rid of the airport travel in the lower left as well.


I agree.  Thankfully the Airport Delay insert is gone now, so if they decide to use that scroll again, it'll be one less thing we have to look at.

However, I personally don't think a scroll on top of the LDL looks good like that. :no:  As Jesse said, it's still too much.  If it was solo without the LDL (like one might see on CNN, FOX News, etc.) then it would be better, IMO.

COLD SPELL: 13 days of below-average temperatures
From Christmas Eve to five days into the New Year, temperatures across the Metroplex were surprisingly cool and, at times, much below the average high of 56°.  The day after Christmas was the coldest, as the high did not surpass the freezing mark!  Here is a graph showing the temperature trend over the past 13 days.  Today, the spell ended when the high temperature reached 57°, one degree above the average high.

I noticed today has been officially 10 years since Storm Stories debuted. First episodes came out on 1/6/03. They are showing an episode right now on WPVI of all stations :o

Ha!  Funny that you mention this. I noticed Storm Stories was on one of the local stations here and got confused, but now I have figured out why.  I even thought it was TWC I was watching at first, but no, they have to show non-weather longform like Iron Men. 

Strangely enough, the SS re-runs were being shown on a CBS-affiliate here, so that's a little surprising.  Figured it would have been on NBC. :thinking:

I am kinda sad that Christmas is over. :(

I'm not.  The Christmas season to me means two months of non-stop work with customers screaming in my face about pretty much everything, physically pulling me to and fro, and operating under the impression that I will eventually crack and give into their every demand.  (It hasn't happened yet!)

I'm sorry to hear that, Eric. :(  Christmas shopping is obviously a nightmare; I can't imagine what it would be like to work in those conditions.

I am just sad we're about enter that post-New Year's Day period.  The time after the holidays just seems very dull to me.  I can understand some debate here, but I enjoy the holiday season, so when there's a long stretch without a true holiday, and when it's cold and usually dreary outside, it's just not fun.  (And I would argue that Memorial Day is the next "true" holiday.  Maybe MLK day could be counted, but certainly not Valentine's Day, and I hesitate to include Easter as well.)

It's officially a New Year for those of us in the central and eastern time zones! :D

Let's make this the best year ever.  Have a great one, everybody!

Well, it may have only been about a half an inch, but we got a "white Christmas."  (I know it technically doesn't meet the official requirements, but there was still snow on Christmas Day, how about that?)  From thunderstorms in the morning, to about three hours of constant snowfall in the afternoon, it was a pretty fantastic day, weather-wise.
