Hey, of course it gets 5 stars, it’s the Weather Channel. Admit it, you watch it, I know I do. In fact, I really like it. The maps, the stories and the local updates. All this was five stars, hands down. Then they topped themselves. Jim Cantore was in Chicago for Blizzard 2011 and went ape shit over the thundersnow on live TV. You can’t beat that, I mean it’s a 10 or 11 right there. Don’t be ashamed anymore, fellow weather aficionados, watch The Weather Channel without shame. 220,000+ hits on YouTube proves you are not alone.
