what do you know about the gulf stream nozzle and its affect by global warming

Asked by pwinkler over 7 years ago

Global warming issues is not something I generally comment on. Climate is more of a long-term subject as opposed to weather which is more day-to-day and short-term. Thanks!

Are you allowed to eat or drink something while live? Sometimes they go live for a long time but don’t drink anything. They must get thirsty at one point?

Asked by Tj over 5 years ago

Yup! Not always easy. I know there have been more than a few times while on the air in continuous coverage when I see someone out of the corner of my eye holding a cup of water. I try not to hug them but the motivation is there. Thanks, TJ!

Does the ‘feel like’ temperature below 32F when the temperature is above 32F cause slippery conditions on sidewalks or garage ramps or should I turn on the ramp heaters then those temperatures exist?

Asked by Jack over 6 years ago

Hi, Jack. Nope, the feels like temperatures is a calculated number. Go with the actual temperature.

If you could broadcast weather anywhere in the world for just one day, and I mean anywhere, where would you go?

Asked by ash over 5 years ago

There is a small town in Italy called Riva del Garda. Has nothing to do with weather, just want to stand and look out at the lake. Or from the eye of any hurricane. Thanks, Ash.

Do people ever get upset when your interrupt a broadcast for a severe weather or something like a police chase. Infomercials now you can play that weather all night man, lol.

Asked by Dannny almost 6 years ago

All the time, Danny. Most folks seem to appreciate that we are trying to keep them informed and in many cases safe. But some people do get pretty grumpy when we interrupt their TV shows. Thanks.

Do you think Meteorologists sometimes over react when sever weather or something is coming?

Asked by asdklj about 6 years ago

Yup. Some do. ;)

If there was a Blizzard warring and there was thunder snow with high winds. Would they post a severe thunderstorm warring? Could they and would it even be needed?

Asked by DJ over 5 years ago

Likely not. A severe thunderstorm warning is triggered by one inch hail and/or 58 mph winds. Different process. A thunderstorm is more of a local convective event and strong winds in a blizzard are a larger scale pressure gradient event. Great question!
