No argument there. Well, ok, he does need to wear shorter shorts and give us a goggle at those gams. Yummy.

I actually saw Jim Cantore when he reporting one morning from Grand Central in NYC. But I didn't really go up to him, because I didn't want to bother him.

I met him too. He was at Pascagoula Beach Park and I snuck out of work to get down there. Got his autograph and was seen on TV. Glad the boss was not watching. lol.

He is a short guy, but very nice!
