Well last night they said his 25th is actually tomorrow, they celebrated it yesterday because he'll be filming Cantore Stories tomorrow so it's still on time. :P Nice tribute page btw. :happy:

Can't wait for his next freakout-thundersnow moment :)

Post by: Localonthe8s on July 14, 2011, 03:29:46 PM: I don't understand why so many of you guys hate Samantha Mohr. IMO, I think she is one of the better OCM's TWC has hired lately.
Title: Re: Congrats to Jim Cantore
Post by: Lightning on July 14, 2011, 06:36:52 PM: Congratulations to Jim Cantore for 25 years of service and devotion to The Weather Channel and willingness to report live from weather events, such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes and other weather phenomena. I've been watching him since 1989. That year, he hosted a special called "Wildfire".

I don't 'hate' her, I just prefer other meteorologists over her, that's all.

And, as Matt said, I was just poking fun at the picture.
