Hey! Time out y'all!

Another source that still uses the old weather icons is the TWC Weather Widget from yourminis. Click here to see the widget.


Partial Screenshot

That widget could be placed on Facebook, MySpace, iGoogle, Friendster, Yahoo! Widgets, etc. Too bad it doesn't come complete with a radar and severe weather alerts like that other widget.

In Irving, TX; The Weather Channel is on Ch. 37. We had WeatherScan on Ch. 99, but since Time Warner took over the North Texas Comcast cluster, it was taken out.

Nice playlist but you got too many songs.

On a regular playlist there are 15 songs for daytime, 10 for overnight and 10 for primetime

True, but you notice I said Quarterly or Seasonal.
