I'd known for years that The Weather Channel wasn't really interested in doing any, you know, "weather work," seeing how it's nearly impossible for me to find a time where they're actually telling me what my local weather's going to be like. At least, when I'm sitting down in front of the Idiot Tube. But seriously, this is just silly.
Good thing they still have a relatively useful website, otherwise they'd probably be in some deep Kim-chi by now.
