Party Hardy
Wow...
I just came back in from the WGN-TV party celebrating our partnership with Weatherbug.
As I imagine you may have heard, our partnership with Weatherbug gives us real time weather data from well over 100 sites in Chicagoland and thousands of places around the country.
Now that is a good reason for a par-tay.
Let me just make this statement.
Until you have partied with the WGN-TV Weather Wieners...you have not partied.
Holy Crap!!!
My memory is not too clear of what happened...but let me try to paint a picture.
Skilling was on the move.
Shakin' and bakin' on the dance floor.
The crowd is cheering
"Tom Skilling...The Forecast...Tom Skilling...The Dewpoint...Tom Skilling...Our hero."
It was totally nuts.
Women were all over him.
Then comes Jim Ramsey.
The guy is a machine. Automatic.
He has his shirt unbuttoned all the way.
Working the room.
Pretty soon he and Skilling are on the dance floor together.
Ramsey is up on Skillings shoulders shouting something about straight line winds in Oklahoma and El Nino.
The rest of us weather schmoes knew to just stay back and let masters
work their magic.
Finally, late into the night...and I mean late...we all went back to Skillings place and watched the Weather Channel until like 8pm.
WGN Weather. We rock the world...

Party...Party...Party.
p.s. Look for pictures to come soon in the photo gallery. I doubt they caught the best stuff.
Comments
Thanks, Paul, for giving us the inside scoop on how weatherman really party behind closed doors.
You aren't a schmoe in any situation. You can take a comment made by someone else & turn it into a joke or sarcasm.
By the way, yesterday you said that nobody watches the 6 am news. I am an early & was watching. I start my day early with your WGN program & coffee. Can't think of a better way.
You'll have to do a lot of pitchhitting when Val and Ana are both out on maternity leaves. But you are the man for the job

Paul. Hysterical as always. You have inspired me to become a weather person if only for the raging parties.

I always thought that Tom did a bunch of partying up there in Alaska.
