The Weather Channel’s Birth

CLICK HERE to read the article.
The idea started as a brainchild of ABC Good Morning America’s first meteorologist, John Coleman (left), and my former college professor, Dr. Joe D’Aleo (right) who became John’s producer for his national weather segments on GMA.

Rough Stretch
Yes, there have been a couple of days in the last 18 that have tantalized us with a little taste of spring, but only a handful.
The rest of it has been uncharacteristically cold, and not just by a handful of degrees. Any long-term departure outside +/- 2°F is statisatically significant.

No Such Luck
Today (March 5) is the EARLIEST date on which Cleveland experienced a high of 80°F (81°F in 1983). The next earliest is March 15th.
Unfortunately, we won’t even come close to anything “warm” for the first few weeks of March as we are in a cold, early-spring pattern.
