Winter cancelled/uncancelled banter 25/26

[North and West]

Was zoning out last night and put on Fox Weather. For years, I’d just zone out with TWC. It’s not bad and better than When Alligators Attack or Ice Road Bandits or whatever series TWC pushes in prime time nowadays.

I'll check it out.  I haven't had TWC in over 2 years.  I thought I'd miss it, but I didn't.

Right?! Sometimes I’ll YouTube old TWC clips and it’s amazing how good they were a long, long time ago.

For the college football watchers, the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium between Penn State and Clemson is at noon Saturday.  If the storm works out as hoped, that'll be a fun game to watch, even if the snow is winding down by then.

Good catch, I had not thought of that one. I need to get my head back into the bowls, the CFP selection tainted my view a couple weeks ago... @BxEngine can relate and/or was jumping for joy I'm sure...

To be fair i kinda despise all the teams involved in that drama so i was happy no matter what lol

For some reason they tried to make it like the today show sitting around chatting about the weather in Dubuque while drinking coffee

There’s a few former TWC people at Fox Weather including Mike Seidel and Bryan Norcross.

Was just talking to a colleague that directs over there. He said it’s actually one of his favorite places to work because there’s a lot of young people excited about the content. Glad it translates to the viewer.

Feels like an Old Milwaukee beer commercial.  It doesn't get any better than this.

That cringe was intentional. But true.

Here's an old beer commercial and my favorite

Right up there with Forky taking his shot post and disappearing and not leading the lemmings to the promised land. He's probably all tuckered out now after that post but I know I'm waiting for a some follow up. A Soundings 101 course in 2026 would be appreciated.

We know how to find the soundings...I think...it's the interpretation beyond the incredibly obvious. Will there be an online course or are you hosting?

Dude, I had no issue with the U. I did with Bama but they proved themselves. Tulane and JMU...bro...they really need their own playoffs. Oh, and see you up north next year.

I secretly hope we get no snow on Friday just because of how annoying Anthony gets every time someone rightly points out a cause for concern.

Just spreading some Holiday joy

Agreed on those teams (JMU & Tulane) making it. Good luck getting CFP changing it but they should. ND & BYU should have been in over them.  Looking forward to next year up North.

Hard to say where influences come from. Some could be inherent within one's self. For example,my affinity for bluegrass could have come from the Beverly Hillbillies or Andy Griffith. 

Check out the weather maps from the 1964 Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.  Isobars, pressure systems, almost subliminal.  By 10 years old, I had my own Weather board.
