Everything Else TWC / Re: Severe WX, TWC only "breaks in" on specials - different areas

« on: May 11, 2008, 03:25:51 PM »

They probably won't cover a huge severe weather outbreak but they'll break in for "OMG THERE'S A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OUT WAY OFFSHORE OF THE NORTHEAST. WATCH OUT AS THE TIDES MAY INCREASE A FOOT OR TWO THAN YOU USUALLY SEE" WE ARE ON STORM ALERT WITH CANTORE OUT ON CAPE COD, STEPHANIE ABRAMS OUT ON NANTUCKET, AND STEVE LYONS AT THE HURRICANE DESK"

"JUST LOOK AT THIS WIND. IT'S INCREASED 1 MPH OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS AND IT'S BLOWN SOME LEAVES OFF THE ROOF OF THE HOUSE. WE STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO BUCKLE DOWN ANYTHING AND STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS"

Yeah, you get where I'm going.

Did anyone watch EE tonight? My god, that's the most disgusting display of jewelry I've seen from Steele.

So does this mean in less than a month, they'll complete their transition to the eye candy Channel?

Do you live in the NY area or something?

Shhh: Don't switch if it's true. Musical satellite forecasts > "balalalalaaaabababalalaababaabala. High 52". <- And there goes the music.

Everything Else TWC / Re: YUCK at Skytracker

« on: April 22, 2008, 04:17:55 PM »

What baffles me is why skytracker images aren't used at weather.com. Me being a Weather Gold subscriber, I get an interactive radar which has the MS Live Maps with a radar overlay.

I just hope that if skytracker is affected by the HD transition, PLEASE don't turn it into the eye candy monster. You know, those radars which have 250 sweep lines that are fake on their radar.

Yeah, I don't like how skytracker needs like 5 clickers to use.

Whatever happened to Jim Cantore operating it at the desk? I loved the red mouse and those zoom boxes that showed how many miles across the screen you'd zoom in with. I now hate how Cantore has that RIGHT NOW WEATHER banner on skytracker. Makes cities hard to read.

Ok, I guess it was some different system (sky1/2/3/4/etc), but we'll have to see if this is on a consistent basis.

Everything Else TWC / YUCK at Skytracker

What in god's hell did TWC do to my one of my favorite radars? That new font doesn't fit in well at all. Not to mention, Why are those interstate labels this big?

Not to mention, people like Robinson who tilt/rotate it. What's the meaning of that? It gives me headaches to piece the map together. I'm used to seeing my maps flat and upright, not tilted back and flipped upside down.
