im guessing they'll do the schedule change to fill in for the loss of OCM's :unsure:
Dunno they are holding their own right now with the current schedule.

Well well well - isn't THIS a blast from the past!

You know - I think a couple of you guys/gals had emailed me in the past and told me about this site but someone sent me this particular link the other day and I thought - hey what the heck - I'll send a little reply.

I actually just (and I guess it's a little late for this) wanted to thank anyone and everyone who gave a darned that Road Crew went away - WeatherVentures wasn't renewed - and that I never did make it back into the studio once I was doing on line stuff.

Loved the people, loved the product and loved every last thing I was involved with as long as I was with TWC.

As things were changing over the last year or so it just seemed like it was time for a change while the dust settled.  So since leaving TWC I have been doing weather for a morning show (called The Morning Show) here in Fort Lauderdale.  If any of you are ever in town be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

That said - thanks to any of you who miss me on the network - and to those of you that don't - here's a big hug and a kiss anyway.

Jeff, I remember when I first saw you on TWC, and while the whole Road Crew concept was new to me at first, I grew to like it :D
I do miss you and a lot of other OCMs and on-camera personalities. I just don't watch TWC much outside of the local forecasts :P
Best of luck to you in the road ahead!

Hi Jeff, it's good to see you here. :yes:

I don't remember if I gave you a link to TWC Today once in the past although I added you on Myspace/Facebook a long time ago as a fan and before you left TWC. The Road Crew was my favorite segment following LOT8s as well. Magnificent places you went to. :thumbsup: 

I am a little to your northwest in the Tampa area and I'd go down south anytime to see you on TV again! :biggrin:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Wow Jeff, it's such an honor to see you here! :D I missed you and the RoadCrew segment...it was fun and educating as was TWC before the NBCU takeover..

Welcome Jeff!! We all sure do miss you on TWC. Some of us, including myself took a little while longer to warm up to Road Crew but I miss the idea and the fun of it. The network seems to have strayed from fun and humor. I hope you are doing well in South Florida. Bet thats a nice change of scenery compared to Atlanta! I watched you a few times on your new show when you first started. Seems like you fit right in. Hope all is well and thanks again for stopping by and saying hello  :biggrin: I really am glad you are doing something more than weather.com videos now. You have a lot of talent and personality!

Wow - guys - I am literally floored that there's even this much response here - I really appreciate it :-)!  Maybe I'll sneak around here more often - lol -

Anyway - the problem with working morning shows is the whole 2am wake up call so it's clearly past my bed time -

But I wanted to say - I loved hearing that - more than one of you - didn't know what to think of The Road Crew - in the beginning - but you warmed up to it.  I know it was a little different - that was what I loved about it.  As the guy who wrote most of these things I always hoped you would walk away learning SOMETHING / ANYTHING from it.  At the height - we were doing 160 of these things a year - that's a lot of content - so while they may not have all been home runs - hopefully you got something out of most of them!

I'll try to stop by here - but please most def drop by my Facebook page because I'm on it honestly - I mean it's the only way to talk to the locals these days - and I'd love to talk to you guys!

Take care of yourself(ves)

Jeff Mielcarz!!! OMG!  :thrilled:

Sooooo great to see ya here! Glad to hear you're still doing well in the SFL. Road Crew was awesome back then, so was WeatherVentures (hard to believe they still run old episodes now and then  :blink:). Glad you decided to stop by and hopefully you stop by often!

Hey Jeff! I really liked WeatherVentures and your Road Crew segments, especially how much attention you gave to Philly in 2008! :P Thanks for joining the forums!

Welcome aboard, Jeff. Glad to see that you've found the place. I really enjoyed your Road Crew reports and I made sure to watch the weather.com forecasts every day to see if you'd be on. B)
My super-awesome website!

Once again - thanks to everyone who responded and the new guys I hadn't yet written back to.

Who knows - this biz is a crazy one - maybe our paths will cross again!  If nothing else I hope I entertained a few of you and that maybe you even learned something while we were at it.  I'm digging the weather and the view down here in the SFL ... let's just hope things stay calm out there this summer :-)! 

Take care,
Jeff

And yeah - keep in touch with me over on Facebook if you want - and if any of you are ever in South Florida - check me out on The Morning Show.  I'd love to say hello to some of you.

Jeff! I must say that I didn't really like Road Crew at first (like others, I definitely warmed up to it), but I liked your personality in doing such. It was informative...and there was some stuff on there of which I would have never thought. It was a bit funny at times, yet it kept the better atmosphere of TWC at the time. Also, it's a great honor to have you at TWCT, so welcome! :)
