Rubifruite Tiwesdægs awoke around 5 a.m. in Somerville to this.

When they do the weather, they're not actually standing in front of a weather map, but instead a green screen onto which the station projects the maps (they know where to point by looking at a monitor, which gave us the Pete Bouchard Incident).
