Sunday weather

A fat rodent got all the attention a few days ago, so of course today is dedicated to the real weather forecasters. Today is National Weatherperson’s Day, in honor of John Jeffries, credited as the father of American weather observation (it’s his birthday).

Let’s watch a few videos that might horrify the man were he still alive, why don’t we?

Yeah, we need something to occupy our time better, probably.

I’m getting a bit of a headless horseman vibe, which I guess is appropriate since Jeffries lived in Revolutionary times.
I think Jeffries would be horrified by this. I’m a little horrified. Stay inside where it’s warm, dude!
I really wish I could find video of the weather reporter circa 1996 that I woke up to on one of those days when the TV station got us hotel rooms because of the weather. When I turned the TV on the next morning, a guy in Minnesota (I think) was throwing water up in the air and cackling when it froze. I’ll never get that out of my head.
