We also have a longtime weatherman on Canadian tv that does the same exact thing and is known for this. Very respected and trustworthy in the Toronto market. His name is Dave Devall.
Dave Devall has been the weather presenter at CFTO-TV in Toronto, Canada since 1961. In addition to presenting regional weather, Dave presents the national weather on CTV's Newsnet. Dave's trademark is his unique ability to draw and spell backwards on his 'Weather Window'. This creative addition to his weather presentation has made Dave a favourite with his many viewers. Generations of weather fans have made Dave Devall an icon in Canadian weather forecasting.
So Dave Devall has distinguished company for sure.

Yeah, it was pretty neat - he'd stand behind a glass panel with a US map on it and he's draw the fronts and write in weather conditions as he talked. No such thing as blue screens and computer graphics in those days!
Sad news. Weaver was a great guy - not only a good educator about the weather, but involved in the community too.
