My Short Work-Cation in Columbia, MO

Good morning, folks. My apologies for not writing any new posts since earlier this month. I've just been focusing on the job hunt and continuing to go to Columbia to work at KOMU. Also, it was due to the fact that nothing noteworthy, weatherwise, has really happened around the St. Louis area, Columbia or anywhere in Missouri since March 5th. However, quite a bit happened as soon as I left for Columbia on Sunday evening.

Before I left for Columbia, I packed everything up and I double checked the forecast and models to see if I need to bring a heavy jacket in case temperatures got a little chilly. The models didn't show anything impressive in terms of heavy precipitation and if any fell, it would fall as rain. Well... To my surprise, it was dry when I got to Columbia and when I was venturing out on the Mizzou Campus hanging with a few good buds of mine, here's what we stumbled upon...




After 10 PM, big flakes of snow started to fall and fall at quite a good clip. The snow continued into the evening on Monday and since some people around Mid-Missouri saw quite a bit of snow, I did not get to do the weather for the 5 and 6 newscasts on Monday. However, I volunteered to do something else and ended up doing live shots for the very first time while creating graphics to explain why the forecast was wrong...


I did get to do the weather for the 5 and 6 newscasts for Tuesday, though. It was fun, as always, and I managed to try some new graphics to spice up my presentation a bit.

 The patterns do seem to be ramping up again, so look forward to more posts from me within the next few days. Have a good Friday, folks!!

  1. I like your live outside footage and the fact that you are all dressed up in your suit and not wearing any cold weather gear!
