So what is up here?   Lots?
Besides-it is grammatically incorrect.

I also caught that a couple of days ago. I figured the numbers are too big now to fit in the little banner? It still would look better to say something like "Over 1 million", better than "Lots!".

Remember when MCD used to have a counter on the sign?

Better add that to the other thread

Wouldn't be that hard to change the font size for the number. Maybe they forgot how...

Maybe it's a rather intresting way to accomodate a number too large to fit in the sticker. But on the other hand it means more and more people are becoming intrested in the weather and sharing it which I find as a positive side of the situation IMO.

Gotta have a sense of humor. You would have thought by now they would have fixed it though.
