And then bitch about and condemn us for every single aspect of what we did to hand them their country back.

How much snow to close school? As always YMMV.

Gravdigr 01-31-2019 11:51 AM

Just a couple days ago they closed the schools because the weatherman said the word 'snow'.

Actually, I'm not sure the weatherman said it.

All but one of the tv stations around here have moved to weatherbunnies. They're all hot, too.

Same here, hard to get the weather, traffic, or anything not hard news from a man.
I understand there's a facebook group for TV weather women where they discuss wardrobe for greenscreen TV, styles for large busted women, sleeve and neckline types, etc. When one finds a dress that works well, it suddenly starts appearing on stations across the country.

Yeah, they hired a superintendent from Virginia here a while back now school gets called for no reason at all. When I was a boy...

Boy?! You don't know how good you had it, son.

I was sprouted from a turnip seed. And when I grew up, it was up all the way...

Are there "microweather" forecasts all over the country?
I think someone patented or copyrighted the term, which even though a legitimate one, has nothing to do with the TV product.
I wonder if there is one "microweather" man or woman in each market.

Google is working on that.

I like Dark Sky Just plug in your location and it will give what going to happen each day for a week ahead.
It tells me things like, it's going to start raining in 10 minutes but will be over at XX o'clock with a total rainfall of less than and inch. Then it will be cloudy and breezy until YY o'clock.

Gravdigr 02-02-2019 01:52 PM

Accuweather does similar things. "Rain will begin in 26 minutes." "A break in the rain in 20 minutes." "Snow ending in 91 minutes".

Not as well presented as Dark Sky, looks like.

I have a wireless 5 Day Weather Forecaster on my desk that's hooked to Accuweather. When I turned it on the first time it gave me a choice of cities in the area with Philly being the closest, so it's not exact. Gives me a rough idea of what's happening then if I'm going some place or planning something I'll get on the net for more details at Dark Sky.

That forecaster is from myambient.com but when I just tried to go there I got...

That's why Cellar went https, so it doesn't get that warning

Google gave us a good year to get ready for that.

Thanks gtown, the meteorologists is what I was reading about.
Quote:

Shelby Hays, a KOCO Meteorologist from Oklahoma told Tech Insider that many female meteorologists are subject to a strict dress code for what they can and cannot wear on air. Patterns are considered "too busy" and there are often regulations on sleeve length or style, Hays told us. She says she buys her own clothes, admitting she sometimes gets flack from viewers if she repeats outfits too frequently.
Man, I don't get it. They are on the news/weather to give you the news/weather (duh), why should the viewer feel the right to complain about what they wear even if they care?:eyebrow:

The article you direct linked they were talking about the Skaters dress newscasters were buying.

It's girly, but it's also very feminine.
What's the difference, I thought they meant the same thing?
