Winter Driving Amnesia

[blas]

Speaking of meteorologists, I've noticed a trend around here.

There is only ONE meteorologist who they only show from the waist up....and I used to think it was because he's heavyset and they were being discriminatory....then I realized that he's the only one out of all of them that is obsessed with nasty weather......especially snow and ice (and in the summer, he gets that same smirk with rain and storms).

Now I see the real reason they don't show his full body on camera....he has a boner when he talks about bad weather.

And man, can he rile people up.

There are few CT meteorologists I like, Geoff Fox is cool (I've had a few friends who worked with him, and he is insane). Brad Field's a nutter...met him on a tour of CH 30. Scott Haney.....no.

You're right, blas.....meteorlogists tend to get crazy when it comes to weather...we (my fellow meteorology classmates) used to be glued to the Wx Channel during winter weather and hurricane season....though thankfully we weren't as.....in to.....the weather as that guy seems to be

I don't think that all of them do, in fact, all the others are pretty reasonable and don't get all smirky and "haha!" when the weather is going to be nasty, and the day after Snow Boner Boy predicts 6 inches, the other guy will forecast more along the lines of 2-4.

I have got to see this. Not because seeing a guy pitching a tent turns me on in any way, shape or form, but I'd just love to see him go boinnnnnnggggg at the first mention of incoming bad weather.

You won't see it, Irv.....the camera is always focused above waist level, or he's standing behind the table thingy where the news anchor sits when they have their little post-forecast "chit chat" (although all meterologists stand behind that table at that point).

I just noticed the others, when standing in front of that screen that shows the radar and the whole state of Wisconsin and whatnot, the rest of them can be shown at almost full figure.
