The Weather Channel’s on-air personality Jim Cantore, (Class of ’86) returned to his alma mater on November 10 to give his ninth annual day-long “TV Weathercasting Techniques” workshop at Lyndon State College. According to Cantore, LSC has “the best program if you’ve got the weather bug, like me.” The class gave senior broadcast-concentration Atmospheric Sciences students the opportunity to be mentored, coached, and critiqued by Cantore. Cantore was again joined by Kerrin Jeromin (Class of ’08), the broadcast meteorologist for Fox 44 Local News This Morning and ABC22 This Morning in Burlington, Vermont. WCAX television meteorologist Dan Dowling, an adjunct professor at LSC, was also in attendance.
Cantore was the meteorology liaison for NBC Sports during the Vancouver Winter Olympics. The self-pronounced “Weather Geek,” Cantore’s uniquely passionate style has helped him become one of the most recognized national weather personalities.
