Well, I spent 45 minutes typing up the list of songs that played today on all the LFs, and then hit the ing F5 key and lost it all 

Not sure if I want to retype it all or not

You couldn't copy and paste the titles from the playlist Alex posted?

That doesn't really save me a lot of work, and I was already doing that with repeats. It would be nice if I could upload files to this site, as I know no one downloads files from my file front account.

Geez, if I had a nickel for everytime there was a technical FAIL on this network, I would be a billionaire by now, they had a really nasty one during the first hour of YWT this morning on the teaser, the audio/video feed froze about 3 times before they decided to abruptly cut it off and cue to Mike & Jen.

Speaking of that.......

Wow, after listening to it on lala, I appear to stand corrected.

Hmm, a TSO song I actually like. Doesn't sound like their style at all, imo. Thanks for the ID

As for the 12:48 song, did I have it ID'd correctly?

TSO - Christmas Jazz

That's not Trans-Siberian Orchestra, I know that for a fact, not at 12:58 there.

Well, I noticed a correction. The version of We 3 Kings in the morning is by Ryan Farish, and We 3 Kings by David Arkenstone is in the primetime slot, rite where it should be

I'm just glad they haven't used a lot of Christmas Rock and Pop besides TSO which is an exception...

Yeah, I really like this list. I would give it a 7 out of 10, mainly because there are great song choices in it, but not good placements for most of them.

BTW, I'm going to take a wild shot and say the 12:48 LF I have posted here is "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" by John Tesh?

And the second one, I have no idea, even though I vividly remember this song from last year. Please ID it, I need to put it in my signature

Sorry about the buzzing, this is an issue that my tuner is having with the cable box. I had to borrow the cable box that my mom was using in her room, since TWC went digital here on Tuesday. I'm expecting to have a better cable box that I can configure to my tuner by Monday.

Martin, is there some sort of issue with uploading files to the site? I'm trying to upload the LFs that I mentioned in this post, but I keep getting that "Internet explorer cannot display this webpage" page. I tried it twice on my desktop, again on my laptop, and on a different connection here at the church, and I keep getting the same result. For now, I'll post the links to download the files from filefront, and again, I would really appreciate IDs for both of them since Molly has not posted clips of the Christmas list yet.

I'm sure this makes Mike as happy as it makes me furious

hehe, you bet I am My friend and I were tracking this storm all day today. 8 to 14 inches of snow in the forecast here now.

Seems like we both keep getting screwed Aaron, today is the third time this month we have been in the 30's and up getting nothing but a COLD, RAW RAIN.  I'm getting pretty tired of this keep happening, I rather it's just be sunny outside it's not like we haven't had enough rain this year anyway. This is turning out to be EXACTLY like what the Winter of 2006-2007 was and that's not good.

Yeah, it is helpful to know I'm not the only one getting screwed, although it sure seems that way. AFAIK, I am further from the ocean than Philadelphia, and typically snow comes here before it comes there. This winter it's all topsy-turvy 
I mean seriously, Houston had a Winter Storm Warning, before I even saw my first HiRAD guess of snow? And now, when it has been almost 5 years (as of Jan 22) since I have seen a 10 inch or more snow, Philadelphia could see over a foot.

You've got a point Tavores, which is only making me realize my fear for this winter. The last El Nino winter, '06-'07, was awful. I mean really, everything combined that winter to make it horrible, ya know? I also find it funny that the big storm last week took almost the exact same track through Michigan as the storm in the beginning of December '06 took. Funny, right?

Morning
Christmas/Holiday   I Saw Three Ships   David Arkenstone   Enchantment - A Magical Christmas   

They're on notice.  The morning daypart is NOT ENOUGH for this all-time classic song.

Agreed. I Saw 3 Ships is big for me, but the one I am truly thrilled to see is We 3 Kings. Again, does not belong on the morning!

A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM SATURDAY TO
6 AM EST SUNDAY.

SNOW IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. THE SNOW MAY FALL HEAVY AT TIMES AS
THE STORM MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO THE NEW JERSEY AND
DELAWARE COASTS.

WARMER AIR MAY PUSH IN FROM THE OCEAN AND CAUSE A MIX OR CHANGE
TO PLAIN RAIN ALONG THE COAST...KEEPING SNOW AMOUNTS LESS THAN
AREAS JUST INLAND. HOWEVER...AS THE STORM PULLS AWAY EVEN THESE
LOCATIONS MAY CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW AND POTENTIALLY RECEIVE

ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
WARNING AREA...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THESE TOTALS ARE
HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE TRACK OF THE STORM. IF THE LOW MOVES MORE

YIELD LOWER ACCUMULATIONS.

THE SNOW SHOULD FALL HEAVY AT TIMES...WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH
STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS...WILL PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW. THIS MAY CAUSE DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS SATURDAY
AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED CLOSER TO AT
ALONG THE COAST.

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW...
SLEET...AND ICE ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE.  THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.

Also, I got bored

WeatherStar XL v3 Emulation - Color Change (Nov. 09' Update Part Two)
I made some changes to the coloring of the titlebars and slides Slides that have not been changed since yesterday: Current Conditions - Still has the greenish tint right now. Almanac (except for titlebar) Narrations Used: Alan Jackson/Current Conditions - (ripped from one of my IntelliStar vids w/o music) Alan Jackson/36 Hour Forecast - (from twctoday forums) "Paul"/Extended Forecast - (from neospeech.com) Features "Thumper" by Aangel

Hey, would you be able to send me a copy of the file of that LF you mentioned?

Or if your asking me that because you want the audio of the narration I can just send you those instead.

Nah, I just need the LF itself. It would probably be a lot easier for me to trim out the audio myself, but nevertheless, I would appreciate it

I just don't get it
Am I the center point around which all storms seem to go? There was a big storm I just missed last week. Houston and points northward and eastward had several inches of snow the week before. Now a storm moving up the eastern seaboard, with Winter Storm Watches all the way up to Philadelphia?

This is not right! I am literally pulling the hairs out of my head!

That could be the Snow/Sleet icon, it's hard to tell the difference between that one and the Wintry Mix.

Now that I think about it, looking at the temperature being guessed for Grand Rapids, it must be a rain/sleet icon. There is a much more notable difference when the icons are animated.

As for the other question I had, I'm really curious.

Interesting... the Pittsburgh regional map was updated today, removing Elkins WV, replacing it with Clarksburg WV, and adding Washington DC.

Interesting, I always love seeing changes like that. Not sure why Elkins was removed, that was fine as it was. DC was a smart addition though. Can you get a clip?
