How do you get the hourly weather forecast to display horizontally?! Mine is always vertical. Or is it an iPhone 5 thing?

DollaTwentyFive · Dec 24, 2012, 06:59 AM

It is sleet. There is a difference between hail and sleet. They are not the same.

It wouldn't be hail with temperatures that low unless the OP was experiencing "thunder snow," which doesn't seem like a possibility. Usually not many Thunderstorms this time of year in NJ.

I get that same icon in Miami as well. I think it's supposed to be stars or something at night. Because trust me, there is no ice in Miami.

It has been giving me inaccurate weather though. I always use TWC app.

I believe it is an iOS 6 thing.
Hm now it changed again.

blablabla222 · Dec 24, 2012, 08:40 AM

I get a similar thing here in MI too, never figured it out.

It's an iPhone 5 thing, not an iOS 6 thing. Only happens on iPhone 5 to take advantage of extra vertical screen space.

That's the hail symbol.

Sleet is snow and rain mixed

Sleet is snow and rain mixed? Unless this is another silly US language change...

Must be a nice life for those folk! Am I the only one who has had to pound on my car with a screwdriver/hammer to get rid of the 1-2 inches of ice just to get the door open to get to work?

cambookpro · Dec 24, 2012, 11:23 AM

Ohh...

It is a silly American thing!
