NBC26 Winter Image

I get cold just looking at all of the snow they have here!

Check out these spots from Wisconsin and they tell me the only thing that needs explanation is in the first spot, Green Bay residents near Lambeau Field snowblow their yards and charge fans to park in their lawn.

KPTV Outfitters Guide

A visually interesting spot out of Portland.  This station has really branded themselves nicely as a newscast for people who love to brave the weather(a key emotional driver for the people there who have to endure so much rain)

My only complaint about this spot -- there is no station logo on it.  ???
