-: I love being in the Midwest as a Meteorologist.
And the reason why, I've told people this before.
I could never work in San Diego. I couldn't work in Phoenix
because as a meteorologist what are you predicting?
You're predicting sunny and 80 every day.
I love the Midwest because I have four distinct seasons,
and therefor, because of that, usually,
my week is different from the last every week.
And while I love my job, I think that if I was at a job
where my job was the same, literally every day,
that would kinda wear on you.
But in 11 plus years of working in this business,
I've never had a day or a week go by and say
"Man, I really just don't wanna go to work today."
And I think a lot of that has to do with the changes,
that because we're in the Midwest,
because weather is different on a daily basis,
it's something new to talk about,
so I think that's the most enjoyable part about it.
Forecasting's always a challenge.
In the Midwest it's more so just because, like I said,
it's different weather.
But as an industry,
in television, just in my 11 years of working,
and I'm sure veterans who have been doing it for
20 or 30 years can even speak more on it,
but the technology and where we're heading,
which is unknown still, on how we consume news and weather.
That's our biggest challenge, I think, moving forward.
