Thats pretty cool.These days, for the most part, it almost seems like a beauty contest on the news. Each station trying to outdo each other with a better looking news anchor, reporter, etc. Idk, I guess no real substance???? Hey, sex sells right?Our local weather personality is Tom Messner. He has been reporting the weather here for the past 20 years or so. He can be seen on the movie "Frozen River". His wife used to teach at our local mddle school before quitting to become an author. Tom likes to visit kids at our local schools and they all love to see him.
This topic got me thinking about the tv meteorologists & personalities. I wonder if all areas of the country, or world are similar this way.
In New England growing up, we had Dick Albert as THE meteoroligist. Not just a weather man, but a nice man, a funny man. He gave more than just the forecast. Always tried to teach you something. For lack of a better term, he was beloved.
We had Shelby Scott. If ever we had a bad storm, she was out in it. Always up to her in a snow bank.ome
You New England guys of course remember Chet & Natilie. And we cant forget Al Kaprielian.
So my question is, is it the same in your area. Do you have tv personalities that you remember fondly. Someone you always watch? Some real characters???
Before my time, but sure know the name. I love the old maps. Not like today's graphicsThis topic got me thinking about the tv meteorologists & personalities. I wonder if all areas of the country, or world are similar this way.

In New England growing up, we had Don Kent. (Before Dickie's time). Kent was a real meteorologist before there were the computer "models" that the current TV stars rely so heavily on now.
Don Kent, 92; WBZ-TV weatherman whose gimmick was credibility - Local News Updates - The Boston Globe
He called in to Dan Rae the other night too. I forget where he works now, some meteorological institute?U guys are old!
Get over. Dickie called in to Chanel 5 Friday night. Pretty cool hearing him talk.

If you can't make it in,that's life.
Milford took the cake at 38 inches...
Milford Gets Most Snow In Tri-State Region - Milford, CT Patch
Oh yeah, remember how you said Sandy was going to U-turn and go out to sea.....good times.....so funny!!!How could Milford take the cake with 38" when ROSCOE just said they got 40" where he lives?
This is why it is best to leave threads such as these to those who are actually going through it. Google is nice but it does not give you context. ROSCOE has context---his road hasn't been touched yet while your wife busted her butt shoveling your fairly short driveway before you came home from work. This is why I get so upset at moreluck when she posts about Nemo and Sandy from 3,000 miles away----she has no context.
ROSCOE---go to upsers.com to see if there any operational updates for your center. If the road is still not plowed by tomorrow morning, take your cell phone out to the street, take a picture and send it to your supervisor. Follow that up with a phone call. If you can make it our of your driveway but that's as far as you can get there is nothing that you can do about it.
