This was the most vicious Christmas weather ever! A lot of people in the Great Lakes area spent the day in shelters after being stranded on the highways.
Thanks for posting this. It brought back heartwarming of memories of when I first learned about the weather channel which was around November December 83 and I remember watching those meteorologists on TV and that very same ANCO commercial. The Only other commercial they had on that I remember was the Static Guard one about Static Cling ! The Good old days.
TWC used that same map style for conditions deep into the '90s. I think they finally changed it in 1997. Compared to today, where they've changed it like five times since 1997. The satellite didn't change much before 2000.

It looks like that the clicker that they used to change the maps and screens was placed on the desk instead of a remote control back then.

They didn't have the kind of technologies we now use back then.
