#NoPoles Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think he may be the only original member left at TWC...i admire his passion and his love of the weather...he is weenie, no doubt about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkviking Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 TWC produced a several mets I have fond memories of. Gayle Dawson, Brian Durst were some of the first of their mets I remember, but Morrow, Cantore, Mancuso, Johnson and the irreplaceable John Hope all were essential part of my daily life back then. Especially tracking Gloria up to our LI landfall...well, with my cable out, watching VHS tapes of them that my sister recorded while she lived down south. Great memories, and Cantore was biggest weenie of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadgerWXman Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 As a broadcast met, there's no better role model. Jim is a real down to earth guy, and even though he's more known for his work in the field, he's a beast at the chroma key too. Congrats to him!

GaWx Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Who is the guy who always called Cleavland, OH the "The best location in the nation"? Bruce Edwards (not his real last name), who was on the very first broadcast with another met, Andre Bernier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Bruce Edwards (not his real last name), who was on the very first broadcast with another met, Andre Bernier. It's cool that both Bruce and Andre are both on air mets at two of Cleveland's local stations. At least from a Clevelander perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricaneman Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Jim is the last of what I would call a weather great at the weather channel, and have to wish him luck for hopefully another 25 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Bruce Edwards (not his real last name), who was on the very first broadcast with another met, Andre Bernier. I always wondered why he went with Edwards and not his actual name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Jim Cantore was the first TV Met I ever watched that could take the scientific aspect of weather and explain it so easily that anyone could understand it. I loved the days of long form programming where he would be on during the mornings. Jim hooked up with many different people like Mark Mancuso, Jodi Saeland, Jill Brown, etc... and made the show worth watching. I also loved how Jim would get real giddy when something big was about to happen...nothing better than to hear him during the 5 Day Business Planner talking about the threat of a snowstorm in the South.

Great memories, and Cantore was biggest weenie of them all. My vhs collections is all over the place some in the crawl space some in some boxes etc. When I was young I was bad at labeling tapes. My system was just throw in the tape and see what pops up. Shame because I had taped some great WC moments, mainly the winters from early to 90s mid late 90's. Morrow, Cantore, Mancuso, Hope and Edwards I remember the most. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
