Hi Mel! Great to hear from ya!

Anistorm ~ Oh, sweet!  Where near Arizona do you live?  Technically, I lived in Glendale, and was there for 2 years.  I worked for the CBS affiliate there.  I think a monsoon storm is an awesome experience.  The dust storms, the lightning, etc.  Storms there are much different than here in Florida.

Mames ~ That's awesome about Local on the 8s helping you read!  I used to watch TWC 24/7 when I was in high school!

I live 50 miles west of Yuma (I live in the deserts of CA btw) I've heard of Glendale, My boyfriend has family there.
Yes I've been through those...more recently dust storms. Recently like a month ago or so, a huge windstorm came through here...the winds were so strong the branches from my tree's backyard fell right next to my house!
I havent seen rain at all this season, overall I've seen lightning various times.

Hiya!

Thanks very much!  You are way to sweet!   

I'm Andrea, and I'm a news producer/weather writer.  I'm currently in between producing jobs, but I'm freelancing for the Examiner.com as their Tampa Weather Examiner.

I am a self-proclaimed weather nerd and trained spotter with the National Weather Service.

Love the site!
And, feel free to follow me on Twitter!  I'd love to hear from ya!

ETA:  I just moved back to Florida from Phoenix, Arizona.  I'd love to chat monsoon with any Arizona peeps out there!  That's probably the most interesting weather experience I've ever had!

I live close by to Arizona, and I do get some monsoonal storms here, just not that much as Phoenix or any other Arizona city does.

I've only heard it twice, so I could be wrong, but has anyone else heard a song by "Sublime" on their Local on the 8s?

Yes! I believe it's called "What I Got". I may be wrong, will double check when I get a chance.

You know who I thought did a nice job filling in the other night?  Bill Keneely.  (And, kind of on topic, if any of you Fantasy Football fans out there were watching the other night, he gave some pretty good advice for Sunday's games in the northeast! I was impressed.)

Gotta agree with ya on that. I watched him the other night and I was also impressed

OT: btw welcome to the forums!

Just gotta set my alarm early if it's the 31st. Don't wanna miss it.

If you do make it the 31st, anything from 10 AM through 6 PM is good.

Yeah, I'm available around those hours (7 AM to 3 PM my time btw).

OCMs / Janine D'Adamo (now known as Janine Albert)

« on: October 19, 2009, 03:29:51 PM »

Well, I really hope some of you remember her as an OCM on TWC in the 90's. She has also made a comeback during the 2004 Hurricane Season. But I must say, she is my favorite classic TWC OCM.

I've been doing some googling and I havent gotten a lot of results of when she was on TWC, but some results came out when she was a meteorologist for WCBS and her bio for WINK (the CBS affiliate she now works at). I believe at around 2006 or maybe during Hurricane Wilma, it was the last time I saw her live on TWC.

I wish it had more results, but I am glad to know where she is right now after her comeback at TWC.
