Tidbits from Christmas Eve morning 1993

[tealmarlin]

This brings back great memories of the 1990s

0:42 Did someone fart?

[Bluetailvappy]

I can vouch, They talked about the ring from Tallahassee to Jacksonville and points north. Most of the day on Christmas Eve there was a mixture of Sleet and snow falling in the Pensacola area. It changed over to all snow before it ended. It never stuck to the ground though. Closest I remember seeing a white Christmas.

Jim Cantore with hair!

[nicklebackfan]

Highs in the lower 30's on Christmas Day cold? In North Dakota, that would be considered a heat wave! :-)

[jposh707]

That is slightly colder than average in the New York metro area.

[nicklebackfan]

I believe you, it's the Marine effect of being on the Atlantic coastline. Kind of why Anchorage is warmer than Fairbanks.

[Donutmangreen]

I was five years old

[michaelthemovieman]

God, this brings back so many memories. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting Walk like A Penguin on Youtube; it was made for it.

[TwcFan]

I remember this stuff back then.

[mrivera1]

so a wonderbed that I bought back then would have its warranty expire some time this week...hmmm...

[frumpie]

Why?

[theweatherchazz]

Why not?

[blugreen123]

the music they played for the local forcasts is actually very nice

[moye41]

hey bridgeport ct thats my hometown i was 3

[cloverhoseman325]

PA REPRESENT wow I miss the 90's, I really need to get my priorties straight!

[frednora]

Oh man it's things like this that make me excited about moving up north! I currently live in Florida and do not goet snow. I HATE Florida.

Walk Like a Penguin classic

[coalreigoncoalcracke]

This is back in the days before the commercial weather channel obsessed with storm stories, abrahms and Bettes, it's a circus now. At least the Fearless Jim Cantore is still there, but i must say i do miss when the weather channel was strictly weather related, the cool music, the interesting graphics, i'd love to see them go back to classic weather channel.

or at least make weather channel two for all the shows so i can see the weather. wow Lehigh Valley International was still ABE airport!!

[77Happy77]

Walk like a penguin! LOL!

[coalreigoncoalcracke]

omg the stupid wonderbed commercials!

[Bellwestern80]

I guess the "Local on the 8s" wasn't around in 1993. Still, looks like they were actually reporting than what they do today...

[WWIIOLgeorgh]

The last name in the weather statememnt ("BROWN").... that's the local NWS office's MIC, right?

[DanZero77]

Channel 12 didn't receive WS 4000 until December 1992.

And I for one miss Jim Cantore as an OCM... not relegated to a desk!!!!!

[DanZero77]

I can confirm we did get a dusting as predicted on Christmas Eve '93. I was probably watching this at the same exact time this was recorded.... on Channel 12 on Cablevision of New Jersey!

So that's what Allen Jackson was doing before he decided to add his voice to the Vocal Local feature on the WeatherStar XL and the IntelliStar.

[faceseyesweirdhumor2]

OMG! I totally remember this! It was like yesterday when i seen this. Brings back a lot of memories

[gstuffjoe]

I remember those days. The weather channel was actually about WEATHER.

[camdawg94]

no way! i remember this was the last white Christmas in Nashville...

[theweatherchazz]

He is a cancer survivor - that is what took him off air for a prolonged stint a while ago. I hope he isn't battling it again.

[Intelliguy]

Dave is still on, but he works as a substitute during any day of the week, so you won't see him often. He recently returned from a vacation.

[LeviathanMist]

Walk like a penguin! I remember that commercial! :D

[gvk9r]

I never knew Allen Jackson narrated that commercial. His voice even sounded alot younger back then too.

[tylert120]

Wow, I love this stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[mishaboy]

I'm surprised this 4000 didn't have the forecast on the LDL.

[krishnanr93]

This was the month I came from India to the US. I was 7 months old

[beanboy89]

The LDL forecast on the 4000 wasn't introduced until the mid-to-late 1990s.

[theweatherchazz]

Forgive me for correcting you B but the LDL has always been a part of TWC... No STAR has been ever been in existance that didn't have an LDL from day one. However, STARs 3000, 4000, Jr and The XL (97-03) didn't display the LDL all the time... The control room only called for it maybe 5 to 10 minutes an hour during national.

[beanboy89]

Charles, I am talking about the forecast line on the 4000 LDL. I realize that all STARs had the LDL, but the 4000's forecast LDL (the yellow text and the icon) wasn't added until later on, right?

[theweatherchazz]

Oh - I guess I was the one needing correction...lol. I was at work when I read that - I didn't catch the word "forecast" in mishaboy's original comment. I just was reading all this as LDL. My bad!

[denelson83]

LDL? What's that mean?

[mishaboy]

Lower Display Line. It's the text you see at the bottom of the screen that shows the current conditions.

[gsn93]

I was 12 days old.

[ILovestorms]

You're birthday is this Wednesday.

[gsn93]

yep.
