Instead of snow (did they actually have a meeting on this?) why not use the space to impart some info; e.g. scrolling most actives, leading gainers, losers, futures, redbook sales, sports scores, MASH reruns, anything. Anything but snow! I already have the weather channel, I think.
Cut To CNBC producers meeting________
Producer X: Hey, Neilson tells us people are really getting sick, literally puking, from the green heat lamp goo graphic. Besides, our demo's suggest we have a younger viewer than two years ago, so the 60's retro lamp effect needs to go. Any ideas?
Asst. Prod. Y: How about running music videos?
Unpaid Intern: There must be some market related data we could format into that portion of the screen....
Producer X: Sure, now get me some coffee, will ya?
A Copy writer bursts through the door: Hey guys, It's SNOWING OUT!!! Finally, winter is here! Get the ski's ready...look out Killington, here we come.
Producer X and Asst Prod. Y (together...smiling): SNOW!!! That's it!

I got the feeling Joe was being a team player, and would rather there be a snow ban. "Vitriole" indeed...The SNOW MUST GO!!!!
