Forget the Weather Channel, with their dopplers and high tech equipment. Low tech is where it's at! Get the daily Detroit weather Old-School style from my new web site. http://www.detroitkidshow.com/ weather_man.htm Bookmark it and check back daily for your Detroit weather forecast. |

Where can I buy a Velvet Peanut Butter t-shirt? That is, a t-shirt that shows Velvet Peanut Butter on the front. |

Thanks, Ed_golick. I really appreciate your Detroitness. You really have a knack for digging up some unique home towne stuff. Is this clip from a local area TV station? What year? Will it really change day to day (providing the weather does)? |

The animation was done in 1957 by Soundac Studios in Miami. They were also responsible for the atom-age cartoon series Colonel Bleep. I was told that WJBK aired the weather toons back in the day. I have a series of the clips for every weather situation and will change them when the weather changes. The sponsor will change every couple of weeks. Stay tuned! |

They could have used that in Seattle last night. Put an inch of snow on the ground, the city ties itself up in knots..... |

Ed, we have to write you a script that parses the weather websites for Detroit and based on the word used on the site, loads the correct .flv file from your selection. IE: www.detroitkidshow.com./15,16, 17,18,flv.. etc. Make it autonomous.=) |
