Hi,
We get our weather info from the weather service office in Grand Rapids and 
it is staffed by GREAT people.  We still get radar and weather summaries, 
but the one thing that has changed is that we used to be told the weather 
watch or warning line, now all they tell us is what counties are covered by 
the watch or warning.

Hi.

Yes, I remember when NOAA used to give radar reports with enough
information that you could track the progress of an incoming squall line
and make whatever preparations the situation called for--back in the days
when weather radios were really useful.  I just see this as a continuation
of the trend to dumb down our society by providing as little information as
possible.
