“Is this him?”

If that’s him the picture had to be taken at least 30 years ago. He has to be in his 70s.

Agreed. TWC started out as a great service, simply reporting current weather conditions and forecasts around the entire country.

The last few years have seen it turn into an out and out propoganda machine for the whacko environmentalists. I rarely watch it at all now, where I used to tune in all the time. I now simply use the internet and the Weather Service and the local weather channels in the places of interest that I am planning to travel to or where my family and friends live.

When it started, it was a great idea, now it is a steaming pile of excerment. I'm not about to sit through 30 minutes of global warming propaganda waiting to hear what the temp is and for the local forcast. And half the time, they don't even bother to give you that.... Haven't watched it in years, a waste of space on my TV channel list....

Actually, John Coleman was just on Fox News about a week or so ago. He still looks in remarkably good shape. He’s got to be somewhere in his 70’s now. I grew up watching him as weatherman here in Chicagoland, for years. Always liked him. He had a great sense of humor and was indeed a bit theatrical in a fun way. Also a great weatherman. A fount of knowledge. And he’s on to the climate change hoaxsters bigtime.

Here's a picture that more resembles John.
Looks just like he did when I was a kid in Chicago.
