Also, for those of us who were on the web when much of it looked a lot like this, the novelty factor is a bit limited.

Finally, a site where someone EL-walter_miller's the weather for me.

You just can't fake TimeCube crazy.

Honestly this is only about 15% more intense than regular Boston area meteorologists.

Meh. I'll stick with the French Toast Alert System.

So I built this parody site mocking all the early "get more followers" sites that were popping up on the early days of Twitter. The "make money with twitter" sites that promised fame and wealth and fat stacks of cash.

I spent days constructing the CSS to make it look exactly like the sites these people were outputting with Word and Frontpage.

No one got the joke. I still think it's funny.

Obviously a fake: nowhere do I find a single, nasal "Fahhhhhhhk" in the text.

I have the man-on-the-scene version of this, which is my dad texting from the Wegmans to tell me how many pizza logs are left.

I follow this account but I don't really trust it. In reality there have been only about four repent-worthy days this winter.

read "weather snitch". Which is exactly what I'm calling meteorologists from now on.

Not enough data on whether the weather is or is not a baby wheel and/or dead tuner.

I think this is just a guy acting weird for no good reason.

I print-screened the logo on the cloud background and made a sign for my cubicle and my weather-obsessed office friend's cubicle. It's colorful and true. Weather is happening.

Looks like JeffK went and became a weatherman.

The really impressive thing about this is that despite all the craziness it works just fine on my original iPad running iOS 5.

Came for the Al Kaprielian reference, was not disappointed.

Both my home and office location are covered by the local blob map so I am all set here. Also it appears to be a perpetual snow day on which I must work from home....so I've got my new weather website bookmarked.

This would work so well for anyplace in Texas. We've got 4-D radars and cloud-zapping lasers and all kinds of shit going on. Deep down, every single Texas weatherperson is waiting for a tornado to hit their viewing area, so they can yank off their ties, roll up their sleeves and yell at people to SEEK COVER NOW.

the other day in Boston we had both 55° and full-coverage sheet ice, so I'd say this page is a pretty good reflection overall

At the bottom of the page there's an anus near Brockton.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Rule 34?

One of the local DJs loved to mock that sort of thing. "We'll get an inch of snow tomorrow. ABANDON YOUR CAR NOW! "

Worth noting that their stickers are done by a company that makes lots of other stickers, so click through and check out their marketplace.
