Weather. In the history of man nothing has been of greater import. For generations, it was seen as a mysterious force of the gods; evil elemental spirits sent to punish man for his hubris by ruining cricket matches. Later, America was founded and baseball was invented-- an outdoor sport with enough interest to warrant serious meteorological research. Man made great strides in understanding meteorological phenomena up until the advent of the designated hitter. Research stopped, but not for long; the closely related field of cosmetic surgery caught up with meteorology, and with the advent of safer breast implantation the study of weather was again on the up and up.
Today, forecasters are studying the implications of reality tv on the weather. NBC Universal has pumped ungodly and in fact rather obscene amounts of money into the weather channel (at least, by the channel's own standards) and I would like to speak with you about these impressive accomplishments.
I want to speak with you, about...
For years, TWC has been known for a segment called "local on the eights", which is where every minute of the hour ending in eight begins a two minute forecast for your area, replete with a robotic voice, recent doppler radar, and one of four easy listening songs that rotated once yearly since 1987. Recently, NBC universal has decided to add to the playlist and rotate songs as often as once a month. That's right. Blockrockin' beats on the eight. So blockrocking, in fact, that TWC has made each and every song on their :08 playlist available for your purchasing pleasure.
While :08 has been a star of the weather channel for years, it has fallen out of favor as TWC's flagship program.
Your Weather Today is the high definition morning weather program reporting on all things weather and things that may be affected by weather. Whether you're talking about international soccer, nascar, a recent plane crash, or lemonade stand futures, your weather today pretty much has you covered.
While some men respect the weather as a natural force, Jim Cantore sees the weather as a foe to be vanquished. He's one of the longest running tv forecasters alive today. If you watch him then you are likely to wonder why that is on account of the fact that Jim Cantore is basically stark raving mad. About half of the entertainment you're likely to get from Your Weather Today comes from the fact that Jim will regularly accuse his fellow forecasters of treating him poorly or being terrible at their jobs. Additionally, he will sometimes seem to descend into manic bouts of depression on air. In spite of the fact that he sometimes seems to freak out, he has enough "d'awww" moments to get away with it:
THUNDER SNOWWWWW
Jim has always been a serious guy though. Check out this cable in the classroom video where he explains TWC to we poor common folk:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPLdeRas-r8
In addition to being moderately attractive, Nicole also acts as Jim's foil. She offers a boundless optimism that only seems to make things awkward for everyone. But you know what? She's no faker. That's why she has the job. She would never kowtow to the tweens like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rKafa5otWw&NR=1
Kevin is okay I guess but he is completely normal, has absolutely no mental issues, rarely makes inappropriate comments, is basically unflappable, and honestly he just doesn't fit in on the show. I think he's just there so Jim can feel a kinship toward a fellow bald man.
NBC Universal has a plan for how TWC can capture the 18-24 demographic? That's right.

Your weather today: http://twitter.com/yourwxtoday - Mostly Nicole doing what appears to be the meteorological form of fan service. It's sort of creepy and I can't look away please help me.
Jim Cantore: http://twitter.com/JimCantore - Jim manages to be surprisingly normal on Twitter.
The Weather Channel: http://twitter.com/TWCi - The general TWC tweet tweet.
In what was easily the coolest thing to ever happen on TWC, their coverage of the Vortex 2 research project resulted in them catching the complete ~35 minute life cycle of a tornado from formation to dissipation on live television. In all honesty watching this live is probably the most awe inspiring thing I have ever seen on television.
The Vortex 2 project goes on for another month or so, so they might catch some more tornadoes on TV if you happen to be watching nothing in the late afternoon.
In summation I would like to conclude by offering: The Weather Channel. Fuck Yeah.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

No this is the way I am all the time actually.

I totally applaud the amount of effort that went into this gag. It is truely inspiring.
If only some others would go that far for humor, this forum would be a much funnier place.

don't know what happened

wah wah
if it had been some people around here people would be screaming for it to be chatlogged
then you keep on rocking in the free world
It's mostly about the drama of forecasters with severe personality defects or who do something other than weather. You've probably noticed at least one local forecaster in your area is there not because she has a meteorology degree but because she's got breast implants.
Nicole is 'cool' because she is a military something or other in addition to being a forecaster.
Jim pretends to be this guy always on the edge, waiting to go postal, but really he's just into the weather and doesn't like the way the channel has gone even though he goes along with it.
Kevin is basically just eye candy for the channels #1 demographic-- Your mom.

I don't like the Weather Channel, because they have the Local on the 8s, and I have tuned in on 8s before where there is no Local Weather. It is the very height of disappointment.
And strangely enough, when it's storming, the weather channel is the first channel we lose.
It's all very inconvenient.
I don't even watch the Weather Channel anymore, I just visit their website
I just want to know what the forecast is or what the current conditions are, I don't give a shit about what's going down in Phoenix, Arizona

I daresay that this is definitely more relevant and practical than drawing pictures of grizzly bears playing guitars with vikings.
Open your door: is it cold? put a jacket on! is it hot? don't!
does your area get unannounced rain? take a jacket or umbrella with you! do you live in the desert? then take an umbrella for shade if you want to!
has snow completely covered your door? congratulations, you have the day off!
That sounds awesome. Is this a real thread about pictures of grizzly bears playing guitars with vikings, or did you just say that?
Someone should make this thread, if it doesn't exist...but not me, I can't draw.

In Colorado, we just get out the snow shovels when that happens.
Ok, I've only seen around 2 feet in a night, but still. For example, schools here never close due to snow. It only closes when the weather hits -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

July-August is going to be brutal
But honestly they do have pretty great coverage of other weather related things for which you can't just open your door and say "oh." Like recent changes to homeowners insurance as it relates to hurricanes. I wish they had more of that information on the website because they often do much better investigative reporting on that sort of thing than everyone else, although you can find watered down versions in other media.
