Years ago I recall seeing him in lighter clothes and he was very muscular -- maybe still is.

I used to work with the first guy who tosses to Cantori... he's a hoot.

This definitely looks like it was planned out. Still funny though, the nonchalant way he turns and knees the guy, then just goes back to talking about the weather.

(60,010 posts)8. looks to me like a dumb kid trying to have fun with cantore
and a very practiced move by Cantore, who did not even blink.
You know you got bad weather when cantore shows up.!

Reporting the weather is now subversive behavior.

Winter storms aren't like hurricanes. They don't have an origin per se. And their impact can be quite different from one region to the next.
Shameless marketing gimmick.
Unlike a hurricane, which affects everything in its path, a winter storm's wrath doesn't have the same certain doom. "The National Weather Service does not name winter storms because a winter storm's impact can vary from one location to another, and storms can weaken and redevelop, making it difficult to define where one ends and another begins," National Weather Service spokesperson Susan Buchanan told The Wire.
