Weatherman Sees Thunder Snow for the 4th Time!



SOMEONE CALL THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS!

Damnit, I really missed my calling, this video just rubs it in. I took 3 weather related classes in college to fulfill my science credits, I get irrationally excited about various weather conditions, and no one, I mean no one, gets more jacked up for Thunder snow than me...not even you Jim Cantore.

Last week, at the very same time Jim was going ham during a live shot (way to keep it professional Jim), I was driving, saw thunder snow, heard the lightning, and literally pulled my car into a parking lot to tweet it. It couldn't wait, I was too damn excited, probably would have peed myself if I didn't release my excitement via twitter, don't believe me, look, first one's me exclaiming the presence of the Thunder Snow, second one is me conferring with a fellow reveler. 



All the while I'm pulled over in some parking lot on the side of the road, completely off track for the McRib I had headed out for. So you'll understand why I'm a little upset here that Jim Cantore is literally (and figuratively) stealing my thunder here. The guy has my job and I didn't even know it until now. I mean how much more training could he have really had than me? Are there more than 3 weather classes in college? I feel like they forgot to give me a minor in weather for all my hard work plotting hurricanes and memorizing cloud formations. I could have gone on to a whole other career, a TV weather man with a weather blog that would be absolute fire.
