Mark Lisheron – Statesman Weather Watch reporter

From this morning’s forecast:
«…But since terror is the only method the Weather Service knows, be prepared for the kind of fog the Wolf Man always seemed to be knee deep in. I’d wear that new wolf’s bane cologne your wife got you and if you are stopped on the way to work this morning by a Gypsy fortune teller tell her the bumbershoot in your trunk is silver tipped.»
Hilarious. Almost as funny are his responses to the dolts (and there seem to be a few) who complain to the Statesman about his humor.
Mark Lisheron’s forecasts have given me, for no doubt the first time in my life, reason to read archived weather reports.

Finaly… a weather reporter who is not down with the same olé, same olé boring weather reports… you know Sunny with a high of 77 and a 10% chance of evening showers, Blah Blah Blah. ZZZZzzzzzz !
Marks weather watch article is always humorous and informative at the same time. Here is a recent sample.
«The front, dragged here by a muskoxen team from Iqalut, a tiny town in the Canadian Arctic province of Nunavut, brought with it frigid temperatures in the mid-​20s in some godforsaken places and left a blanket of frozen snow at least zero inches deep in most of the Hill Country.
Commuters are being warned by the National Weather Service this morning to dress in their longest shorts and their thickest long sleeve tee shirts. They are being asked to use extreme caution on roads that were not plowed overnight.
The operators of schools and businesses have been asked to use good judgment if and when they decide to open today. The Weather Service also reports that the shelves of most of the convenience stores in the area are fully stocked with bottled water.
And although the worst of it has passed, the Weather Service says we are getting one last slap today with a high temperature reaching just 74. We can console ourselves with sunny skies before being plunged into an overnight low of 47.»
Give Mark a try… i love this daily read. Even when the weather is boring outside Mark finds a way to make it cool.
