Yep I was a huge fan of the Weather Channel until NBC/Universal ruined them. Even worse, they have been slowly buying up all the private weather companies, they recently acquired my former employer, Weather Central, in Madison. They also acquired Weather Underground recently. I will say that they do still provide excellent coverage when there is a severe weather event. Their severe weather and hurricane specialists are top notch. And as for winter weather, the forecast is showing snow across much of Minnesota on Thursday night - Friday. Still 85 and humid in Miami :-)
