Today: 66* Slightly Cloudy Low chance of rain.

On Wednesday, we had a guest visit from NBC17's Chief Meteorologist Wes Hohenstein. I really enjoyed his visit and I could tell my classmates did too. We actually interacted with him, we asked questions about everything but interestingly enough all we wanted to know about what the day in the life of the weather guy :D. Like Mr. Chambers, Wes started his freshman year of college majoring in Pre-med and quickly realized that was not the path he wanted to take. He really spoke volumes to us when he told us that he sent tapes all over the world of him doing the weather in order to get a job. Like our other guest's he stressed the importance of INTERNSHIPS! Because of the internships and his hard work, listens heard his weather report on 17 different radio stations, but this was before he moved to North Carolina. Wes did not just talk about his path into television, but he also wanted to inform us about the DTV Transition. The Government ended up pushing back the date to June 12, 2009 because millions of people we not ready for the switch. Wes said that North Carolina alone had 400,000 people who were not ready, and would have woken up to snow on their televisions. I personally I do not think that I would want to be a meteorologist, but its nice to know all the glam we see on television is not the real deal, Wes has to create his own dialogue, he own weather charts, all his research is done by him, not to mention. Update the web page every few hours, and attempt to post 3 blogs a week. Not to mention the fact his sleeping pattern sucks, he gets up way too early for me.
