I remember an interview where Don Kent said something to the effect, after you check all the charts and make all the calculations ALWAYS look out the window before giving an on the air forcast. People don't want to hear is partly cloudy while they are shoveling 6 inches of snow.

What made me laugh-- I've said to my wife many a time that I want to be a weatherman, not that I have ANY skills in that area --BUT-- There is no other job where you can be wrong so many times and still get paid!! Wouldn't ya know it -- in the interview Don Kent said it -- almost word for word.

Don -- are you among us in this forum??? fess up!

I think we all loved Don Kent. He was the best. I don't know anyone who didn't like him.
