Advocate link for reasons

quote:

Baton Rouge weather forecaster Pat Shingleton announced Wednesday he will retire from daily television at the end of the month, according to a report from WBRZ.

After more than 40 years as a forecaster, Shingleton is retiring to spend more time with his family. He will still stay with WBRZ as a community spokesperson continuing to support charity events such as Pat’s Fill A Prescription for the Needy, Pat’s Coats for Kids and the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, The Wearin’ of the Green Parade, the television station said.

this means he will be on camera until he dies much like Bob Barker and Price LeBlanc

Shingleton has always been a hack of a "weatherman", not even a real meteorologist.

My grandpa hated him and mrs. Garrison from the facts of life. So I got him an authentic autograph picture of both of them.

You haven't lived until you've enjoyed a Mike Reader forecast, ideally while sipping a nice single-malt scotch or razztini.

He's also a yankee from Pennsylvania.
What's he doing down in the deep South?

Back when his brother ran Zee Zee's, Pat would be down at the corner of the bar drunk enough that he could barely stay on the bar stool. At 9:50, he would step out the side door and jump in his car that he kept parked right on the side of the building and haul arse. A few minutes later we would all get a good laugh as he would appear on TV.
