Minneapolis weather forecast, New York City area accent

[Dan Goodman]

Qwest's Minneapolis Yellow Pages has a number for information on --
among other things -- Minneapolis's current and predicted weather.

The voice which gives this information doesn't speak Network Standard
or any other "accentless" variety of American English.  It's a
woman's voice speaking the New York Metropolitan dialect -- in a way
which I can't recall hearing from anyone who grew up after the
1930's.

For a couple of days, there was another voice; male, speaking a much
lighter form of New York Metropolitan.

The same voice gives weather for other areas.
