I live up here in Alaska. Not once have I seen anything on Alaska. Up here we get remnants of typhoons that batter Japan, those never make it on the show. We don't get any maps or anything on Alaska. They must think we're still a part of Russia or Canada.

You know you are right. I never thought about it but they don't ever show anything about Alaska unless maybe it's a snowstorm video or something. I didn't realize that until now. Also, no Hawaii, but how often do they have any weather at all there?
People make fun of the weather channel where I live.
For examples : They have a joke e-mail going around about a " dangerous cloud " and how it might develop into something scary!
And people place bets on how many times a weather person spokesperson
can say the word " hurricane" in one broadcast.
It's all about ratings; the more advertisement they sell; the more money they make and hurricanes and bad weather makes them happy.
The gig is up, folks!
I used to LOVE TWC. No more - its fate with me was sealed with these three words:
ANIMAL STORM STORIES
Totally agree..Storm Stories, Animal Storm Stories, It Could Happen Tomorrow, Atmospheres, Abrams and Bettes, Weekend chit-chat-on-the-couch "weather" show a la the Today Show...and the list goes on...did I miss any?
The local forecasts on the weather channel are a joke for my area. Every extended range forecast is always much warmer than other forecasts indicate. The weather channel definitely has a warm bias toward their forecasts. (at least for my area)
I've noticed a warm bias for my area too...they're always way too warm for parts of the metro. Especially during the winter when you really have to forecast the weather instead of putting it on automatic like they do for the summer when the temp hardly waivers from upper 70s at night to upper 90s to near 100 in the day...
Actually, the Mid Atlantic is New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Deleware.
I have a map of the Southeast and Virginia is on it. Its really a South Atlantic state.
Most maps list Virginia on the Southeast.
Perhaps in recent years because of immigration from the Northeast Virginia is lumped in with the "Mid Atlantic".
Its climate is also Southeast. We have a humid sub tropical climate in Virginia. Like the Carolinas.
If Tennessee is "Mid South", it makes sense that Virginia is part of the Upper South and is where the South begins.
how is WV part of the south?, it's got more characteristics of the Northeast or midwest
