What is happening in Cleveland? Longtime meteorologist Mark Johnson fired under cryptic circumstances.

That's the face of 30?!

He looks great for 30, almost as good as me when I turned that age last year!

Were disco lights and a massage table involved?

I said 30 year, not 30 year old.

He got inside information from Mother Nature, so his forecasts were always 100% accurate.

R4. Learn how to write, Sweetie.

He came to my school and started talking about the hoax of global warming and climate change. The students ripped him apart with facts, scientific studies, etc, and that night , on his weather broadcast, he thanked them for a very 'Interesting" afternoon, then rolled his eyes.

R3. He wishes!

That there is a man who thinks he knows how to show a hooker a good time.

I've known quite a few TV meteorologists, and they were/are all kinky sluts. Didn't the DL have a story posted recently about another weatherman who was arrested for recording his tricks and sending embarrassing texts about his sex life? And he left the state of his employ and went somewhere in Ohio, didn't he?

R7. Barbizon Beauty School?

Can you actually get a Bachelor of Science degree (or Masters or Doctorate for that matter) in Meteorology? I always assumed it was an Associates degree at best.

Word is it had something to do with his contacting underaged girls that he met during his school appearances. No mention of any sex, but the girls thought he was creepy. If it had been sexual, he probably would have been arrested.

Meteorology falls under Communications at Rutgers.

R12 At UCLA, if you want to study meteorology, it's now a 'track' with the B.S. degree for "Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS)."

While I was there, I had to fulfill a breadth requirement in the physical sciences and decided to take an "Intro to Meteorology" course for dummies. What a mistake! It was one of the hardest classes outside my major I ever took. I thought I was going to fail and had to attend extra classes led by one of the T.A.'s.

At UT Austin, it’s called Geosciences.

I saw this and thought about posting but figured it might have been too local.

Figured it would be something along the lines of R13's post.

Apparently he'd been around forever so it was quite a shock.

Seems to be a climate change denier.

That TA should have taught you how to use an apostrophe.

We had a meteorologist on our local news station who started in the early 90s. I personally never liked him, but he had his following. He was openly gay, and the stories which came out of the gay clubs about him could curl your hair (he had a reputation of being quite the pig). He would frequent my store during holidays - not a particularly 'friendly man' but always had a hot young stud (probably escort) on his arm. He was very popular at local charities, as well (the old fraus loved him). He ran in every charity marathon and bike marathon (he was very athletic -running, biking, skiiing).

A couple of years ago, at the tail-end of COVID, he disappeared from the station with no mention at all - as though he hadn't been there for the past 30 years. No one said anything, but a lot of questions were asked on social media. There was a rumor that he suffered a stroke and was returning mid-2023, but nothing. This past fall, the station did a big three month celebration on being on the air for 75 years and covered every anchor, sportscaster, reporter and meteorologist over the past 75 years. He was quite notably excluded from the celebration and viewers were outraged. To this day, nothing has been said about him on the station, and nothing concrete about him on his social media or anyone else's.

What’s Her Line?

Sex Pest

R20 Parentheticals all around.

Scary story.

Our local weather guys ping heavily to me, appear to be good friends (not a couple) off-the-job.

Initially, I would have assumed was diddling little girls or boys, but they could never keep that quiet. If it is a sex harassment situation involving a few people, you could potentially pay them off.

r20 Was this MN Sven?

I'm a Weather Presenter.

Cleveland Reddit seems to think he was texting/DMing underage girls.

Typical Republican creep.

R29 That's what one of the replies said.....to paraphrase....."So he's a climate denier who was perving on underage girls.....guess he'll be running for a Republican seat in Congress next"

Cleveland apparently has a history of TV news pervs

No doubt the type who accuses gay people pf being "groomers."

At UT, the hardest class I took was "The Age of Dinosaurs" for dummies. We had to learn to identify dozens of fossils that all looks basically alike.

In other words, R33, you had to identify members of Congress.
