October 1, 2011 We've all experienced it -- that moment you can't stop cracking up when you really shouldn't be laughing at all. Two news anchors try to keep it together when weather graphics keep showing up on camera during really inappropriate times. See how they handle the comical situation while reporting on serious stories.
The "Frog Days of Fall" began today at 5:05 a.m., or technically known as the autumnal equinox. Autumn is my favorite season...apples, football, Halloween, and The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown TV Special.
September 8, 2011 A number of schools were closed or delayed this morning and even more roads are closed, as Tropical Storm Lee dumps more rain on Central New York. Tadpole toured the area this morning, taking pictures and video of the massive flooding . The last time we saw this much rain was in late April, when a tornado even touched down in Frankfort.
Hurricane Irene is on her way and preliminary reports suggests she’ll be a big one. To get an idea of just how big though, check out this aerial video of Irene filmed from the International Space Station as it passed over the Eastern seaboard.
I learned exactly what is meant by the "Dog Days of Summer" a few years ago from a listener who corrected me on Big Frog 104. To begin with, we have plenty of Frog Days of Summer left, so let's see what makes a dog day a dog day.
July 25, 2011 With the recent heat wave we've had to suffer through, it's nice to have some cooler, wet weather. The plants certainly needed watering.
There is a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 7 tonight for Western New York, the Southern Tier and parts of Wastern New York. The storm could bring hail, wind gusts up to 70mph and dangerous lightning.

July 21, 2011 Central New York is going to feel more like Central Florida today. There is an excessive heat warning in effect until 8 tonight. The hot and humid weather could cause dehydration, muscle cramps, severe headaches and heat exhaustion.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing and drink plenty of water. If you're working outside, schedule frequent breaks and keep in the shade as much as possible.
I know we feel like it's the summer season as soon as Memorial Day Weekend arrives, but summer actually arrived today (1:16 pm). So, now we are officially in the Frog Days of Summer!
A little mini heat wave has hit central New York this week, and we all try creative ways to keep cool. As for me, I prefer opening a window over air conditioning. Let's face it, wherever you go during the Frog Days of Summer, you most likely will hear the roar of air conditioners. We all want to be comfortable, but I hate going into an ice cold restaurant or movie theater on a summer day, with no jacket (because it's 91 degrees) and shivering!
May 24, 2011 Growing up in the Midwest, tornadoes were a part of spring much like snow is part of winter in Central New York. I think I'd take the snow over this any day. Sunday's tornado in Joplin, Missouri is now the deadliest in the U.S. since records of tornado fatalities began being kept more than 60 years ago, CNN reported.
May 23, 2011 Please be warned, some of these videos contain graphic language. The tornado that slammed Joplin, MO on May 22, like the others around the country recently, has resulted in stunning first-person video accounts. With the popularity of video capability on smartphones (not to mention digital cameras) we are now not only seeing the damage closer than ever, but we are also seeing what it's like to wait for the storm, then experience it.
