WeatherBrains Episode 238 is now online (August 16, 2010). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!
WeatherBrains - August 16, 2010It’s a two guest night on WeatherBrains.
Tonight’s Guest WeatherBrain loves weather, especially extreme weather. She can be seen weekdays giving the National and International weather on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s network news show NewsWorld. She studied at the University of Western Ontario and York University. She also spent some time at Environment Canada, where she held the position of storm chaser.
She joined CBC News in the spring of 2007 as a research meteorologist. The powers that be quickly recognizaed that she should be on air and the rest is history. Tonight, we welcome Canada’s favorite meteorologist to the show, Johanna Wagstaffe.
Our second guest is National Weather Service CIO, Craig Hegermann.
Back as a panelist with us for this show is Rob Dale, EMA Planner with Eaton County Emergency Services, and former weathercaster at WLNS.
Our mail bag has been getting some attention and Kevin puts it in perspective.
