Sometime circa 1950, channel 4 had a meteorologist by the name of Dr. 
James Austin.  His weather map was a blank map of the US printed on a 
large tablet of paper, and he used dark colored chalk or charcoal to 
draw in the weather systems and temperatures.  Each day, he would 
first review yesterday's map briefly, then turn the page to "today's 
map" and begin drawing in today's weather systems.
