Sports broadcaster Hannah Storm was tv weather girl in Houston early in her career. One of the local radio guys dubbed her “Miss Cold Front”. No idea what brought that on.
I'll never forget the day I helped a pretty young lass who wanted to be a weather girl. She took the map (a huge dry wipe board with a state map and a national map back in those days) and drew a sun with sunglasses and crying clouds along with some front lines and temperatures.
She had quite the Southern accent as she did her review of the state map then she turned to the national map, motioned her pointer over New England and said "In the panhandle..."
?
That was the first and only time I've heard of New England referred to as "The Panhandle" although I can see where she might have thought that.
I didn't bother to correct her. I figured any station manager that would hire her wasn't all that interested in her knowledge of meteorology anyway.
I also knew a female student who was an absolute "10" from the waist up but had a huge butt and legs. I thought to myself how perfect for her if she got an anchor job where she sat behind a desk and performed the news. Her viewers would have no idea what the other half behind the desk looked like.
A spurned suitor, cry me a river. I’m sure he’s even more upset now that she makes more in a year than an idiot radio jockey does in a decade.
