Then you should probably post this on a Columbia weather board.

No one in Louisiana gives a flying frick.



The GFS and Euro are in agreement, Louisiana chief meteorologists still suck 24 and 48 hours out.

I wonder if the person who applies makeup on the Chief Meteorologist is the Chief Cosmetologist. And if so, who has more education?

What do you call it when a meteorologist and a cosmetologist have a baby?

Nash Roberts was the Man in New Orleans when I was a kid. Then I guess Bob Breck. Now I live in Baton Rouge and we have Pat Shingleton and Jay Grimes. Revolving door of younger kids under those two.

Is he in good health? Watched him last night and he was slurring his words and barely made it through. Could have been sick

I flip between him and Delkus

The same station has gone through 3 or 4 chiefs in the past 3 years.



I would imagine that's a problem with station management/ownership.

In NOLA, Carl has been on WWL forever. Margaret Orr has been on WDSU forever, and Dan Milham was there forever before she was promoted. Bob Breck was at Fox8 forever... only recently retired and it seems like David Bernard isn't going to go anywhere. No one watches ABC26 so who knows.

When we were in Houston... it was Dr Neil Frank who was there probably at least 25 years and had a hell of a path, Frank Billingsly who I think is still there, and Tim Heller who has been there forever.

Chief Forecaster Pat Shingleton has been at WBRZ for decades because he’s so good at what he does. You see, WBRZ loves to be laughed at and he brings the laughs.

Neil Frank was head of the National Hurricane Center before going to H town. Heller was the chief at Fox 4 in Dallas.

Anybody here remember Ray Pardue back in the day. The guy was always loaded and his forecasts were hilarious.
