"MCO" was Orlando, Chicago-O'Hare was "ORD", If I rememeber correctly. Jacksonville was "JAX". Why would "MSY" be New Orleans and "BNA" be Nashville?A lot of those codes that "don't make sense" actually do - they can either be the original name or the biggest nearby city.I enjoyed thinking about which three-letter code was which city. Some made more sense than others. "MSY" didn't make much sense for New Orleans or "BNA" for Nashville, whereas "JAN" for Jackson and "MIA" for Miami made more sense.There's a certain charm about these radars. They're simple, yet informative, and there are no overly-flashy graphics to distract from the information.I fell in love with those single site radars. And I had a lot of those 3-letter codes too. I wish there was more of these radar videos.......... I used to have one that had the Bristol WSR-57 radar and one other....... I cant remember which one it was.
Back in the day I had so many of the three letter codes memorized.
Just in Ohio for instance, Columbus, Ohio's main airport "Port Columbus International Airport"'s identifier is CMH....which stands for its original name "Columbus Municipal Hangar"
But to get back on topic, those radars were interesting and how TWC could pop them up in their presentations. The big thing in the mid to late 1980s was "action radars" that would animate a few frames.

Also, snowfall amounts can vary across a big metropolitan area like Atlanta. While Atlanta officially recorded 4 inches of snow during the March Blizzard of 1993, some suburbs had 10 inches of snow. The totals can vary from one place to another.
This might be a question(s) that can't really be explained and if you can't that's fine, but I'll ask them anyway. It's just something I'm curious about around here. Is there any reason as to why snowstorms move so swiftly (12 hrs or less) in the Southeast (specifically GA)? Why is it that other Southern cities all around us have MUCH higher single snowfall records than my hometown does? Is it a climatology thing? I don't wanna come off bias asking this because of where I live, it's just I've noticed, we can never seem to get above 4 inches of snow no matter how near perfect the setup is for us. Lately, I consider a 6 inch snowstorm a significant storm for us because we rarely get that high. Before January 9-10, 2011 you had to go back to January 2002 for the last time we saw a 6 inch snowstorm and if you go by the weather records kept at the airport alone, before 2011 you have to go all the way back to March 24, 1983 when we saw 7.9 inches!
Believe it or not, Atlanta has never has a 1 foot snowstorm recorded in weather records. The highest we've had is 11.7 inches going back to the 1940s, yet places like Columbus, Macon, Birmingham and heck even Savannah have accumulated that much or more from a single storm.The simple answer to all of this could turn out to just be terrible climatology, but I feel like it's has to be something else besides that.
I really don't know the difference between a commercial and a parody. Victor is right.You seriously don't know the definition of the word parody?! Just apply the definition to the meaning of the title...It says it's a commercial parody at the top. What's the difference between that and a commercial?The Lexus Christmas gift commercial, mainly because I like the music on it. Have a look at it.That's a parody, not a real commercial...

Ok, you're right. I should have asked you in a PM or FB message and not on a public forum where everybody can see it. Thanks for answering my question.Then why not ask me in a PM or FB message, instead of posting an "I worked so hard and Matt has done nothing about it" plea in a public forum?Are you asking me a question or just looking for sympathy from others here?I am asking you a question.I am not looking for sympathy from others here.
To answer your question...I have a backlog of files. Once I get them all posted, I will work on your DVDs.
