The Weather Channel has been 5 minutes weather during 60 minutes of advertising and catastrophic stories for at least the last ten years...

...and even then if you didn't live on either coast, your weather was a guess behind the tokhes.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Or you can consult a variety of sources.

Wind chill does serve a purpose. When the weather is cold, and the wind is howling, exposed skin will freeze due to the "apparent" temperature. Fortunately, things like car radiators are unaffected.

My hands get really cold, though! ;-P

Good job. You only forgot to include the standard leader line of "women and minorities feel disproproportionately the deleterious effects of "global warming". "They are already in hell in America, global warming only makes that hell feel hotter."

I like it! "The Karma Forecast". Brought about by El Nino, an evil male oppressor wrought by an evil male oligarchy keeping the world captive via bad "policies" and evil businesses.

I checked out the Climate Code. Once. I saw Al Gore on their blathering about the need to get off of "fossil" fuels, and I believe I turned it off upon seeing that idiot.

I bet, however, that cogitator is TWC's number one fan now. :-)

Rain Lyrics
Artist: The Beatles

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
They might as well be dead.
If the rain comes, if the rain comes.
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
(When the sun shines down.)
And sip their lemonade.
(When the sun shines down.)
When the sun shines, when the sun shines.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the weather's fine.
I can show you that when it starts to rain,
(When the Rain comes down.)
Everything's the same.
(When the Rain comes down.)
I can show you, I can show you.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the weather's fine.
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
(When it Rains and shines.)
It's just a state of mind?
(When it rains and shines.)
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
sdaeh rieht edih dna nur yeht semoc niar eht fI.
(Rain)
naiR.
(Rain)
enihsnuS.

What I've wondered is how do they know what it "feels" like? It's cold, and with the wind, it's even colder.

Heidi Cullen is a total "global-warming is all our fault and we're doomed" leftwing moonbat.

Right on the money! Along with her leftwing rants, the Weather Channel has turned in to the Weather History Channel most of the time.

Same here.

I'd get up, watch the Weather Channel and then turn on MTV before school.

I don't care about the damn "Storm Stories" either. I JUST WANT THE DAMN WEATHER FORECAST!

I am a weather channel junkie and do watch it for the weather, but over the past few years they have added new programming instead of the weather. For example, they have a show called storm stories, which is a nice program, but what really burns me is sometimes during these programs, there is real emergency with tornados or flooding or the like and people turn to the channel for up to date forecasts. People need that information to prepare for these storms. Having dumb programming s not why people go to the weather channel.

I work in the hi-tech field and this has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. So I asked a group of engineers if water would freeze at a temperature of 34 degrees but with a wind chill of 20 degrees, about half it seemed were unsure.

I wonder how Dr. Cullen would feel if an orthodox muslim group tried to make sure only men could be certified as AMS members?

The Weather Channel website has become unusable.

I agree with your post, it is now like watching an end of times religious broadcast on the weather channel. Only their preachers have doctor's titles instead of reverend so and so.
