Here is a video I edited of this evening's two satellite LF sightings, at 8:30 PM EDT (lol, very late LF, see title  ) and again at 8:59 PM EDT.

The first one occurred between two different episodes of Storm Stories, and the second one occured between an episode of Storm Stories and an episode of When Weather Changed History.

So the video you'll see in this post had gotten muted. Then I got got it unmuted by filing a copyright petition. And now it has the original audio.

Since when is that song copyrighted?

The same thing happened to me, at least twice. I had a video with a Wind Chill Advisory scroll that popped up right at the beginning of an LF. It had "Give It Here" by Joe Sample on it. I somehow got it disputed. I even credited Joe Sample and youtube in the description for allowing me to keep the audio. The video was muted the same day my original account was suspended, 2/12/09. My theory as to why I was suspended is that my suspension was partially due to me disputing videos too much. So, you may want to be careful of doing that.

Yeah same here. It's fast.

Yeah, YT has been really fast for me lately. The April 2009 playlist clips I've uploaded were fully processed within two minutes.

Really? I have never heard of it working that fast!

Did anyone catch the song at 8:38pm EST? I have never heard such instruments before..I like it! But after sampling the songs...I think it's "Deserted" by CC Gilmore. 

Here you are!

I noticed my NWS office now shows the winds for all 7 days of the zone forecast product now instead of just the next 48 or so hours. Has anyone else's office started doing this?

I'm not sure...
I don't think I see that from my office in Grand Rapids

For all those interested, here's an article about me from the Valley News Dispatch from today (4/16) for getting a $500 scholarship for my digital art piece (Power of One). I also created posters for the art show.

Wish it would of made the Post-Gazette.

Wow, that's awesome, congratulations!  
I didn't know you are also an artist and design posters for schools in an expo like this. Are those all your pictures on the left side of the page?

Was up until at least 4:30 this morning because I'm sick and couldn't get to sleep. I only ended up getting around three hours of sleep because my head hurt so much. 

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that
I hope you feel better soon

Edit: LDL now appearing

Well, here is the video of that!

Yep, and also notice all the tabs that appear. During a normal LF, only the "now" and ad crawl" tabs are supposed to appear.

Well, HiRAD is out! Nice to see a legitament observation again! 

Also, my Intellistar just booted with in the last 10 minutes, after having been completely out (including TWC video feed, so the screen was just black) since around 11:08 AM EDT.

HiRAD is working here. Must be out because your IntelliStar rebooted.

Yes, that is what I started to think about what it could have been. HiRAD did return as of the 4:18 PM EDT LF. Also, NWS observations seem to be fine here.

Well, Falsepoint was guessing that Downtwon Lansing has received 3.52" of precip for April, and starting at 9 PM EDT, it decided that we have received 3.22". I am so annoyed that the last piece of credible information was replaced by a computer guess that can't make up its mind! 

Well, the feature is pretty new. Maybe it's just a glitch or something that has to be fixed.

I hope so, it's playing the same guessing games for me too.

Well, this all just proves my point. All that it is is a complete guess. As everyone can probably tell by now, I am sick and tired of computer guesses completely filling my LF. That is why I am glad there appears to be a HiRAD outage right now, less than 10 minues after my Intellistar rebooted! (perhaps that is why HiRAD is out here?)

there seems to be a lot of complaining going around -- really; just get over it. there is nothing we can do about what you dislike, you said it already don't repeat what you've already said.

Yeah, ok. You complaining about me complaining is not going to solve any problems either. And really, it is not that bad. I have made it obvious how I feel, but I don't just complain and complain day in, day out. Try ignoring my posts when you think I am complaining.
