Fox meteorologist7/15/2023 ![]() It’s different when you’re grown up-instead of being something you have to do, it’s something you do to make yourself a better person. But I just finished three years of schooling to get my meteorology degree. I try to be as gracious as humanly possible.Ī: Ummm … it’s a distant fog … I was on the accelerated dismissal program. They are nice to me because they know who I am, and you get to start off in a good way. So people treat you well?Ī: At restaurants, the dry cleaners, the gas station. ![]() Oh, man, I’m really going to come off looking like a smart-ass.

I was thinking, “This TV thing is good, but I’m not sure about the way I’m getting into it.” It was one of those situations where you had to cup your hands to your lips and blow, just to warm your lips to be able to speak. It was really cold, and really windy, and we were out on the tarmac, and my lips were no longer working. I remember it was the day before we broke for Christmas and we were at the Niagara Falls Air Force Base. I was hosting PM Magazine, which was totally in the field.
