I Know... It's About Time, Right?

By Shawn Cable

I'll be honest. I'm not much of a blogger.  I don't write them and I don't read them. At least that's how it has been until now. When my wife started asking when I was going to get off of my duff and update my blog,  I figured it was about time. So, I'm sorry it's been so long.  I'll do my best to keep this baby updated on a weekly basis at the very least.

 For now, I'll chalk-it-up to spending most of my free time getting acclimated to my new TV home.  As with anything new, there's a bit of a learning curve. Things like being sure that I’m typing the right numbers into the right places on our weather system or knowing when I need to be on the air so that I don't get caught off guard with a day-old piece of Phil's slightly dry but still delicious strawberry anniversary cake in my mouth when I'm supposed to be doing the 7 Day Forecast have taken a bit of priority over my blogging.

 Fortunately, one of the most important parts of my job hasn’t changed at all… the meteorology.  One of the nice parts of being back on the air in

Sioux Falls is that I already know how the weather works around here. I’ve had weathercaster friends move from the

Midwest to the southeast coast and one of the most difficult things for them was learning to do weather in an entirely different climate.  Shifting from tornadoes and supercell thunderstorms of the

Midwest to hurricanes and sea breezes is a big deal for a weather forecaster.  Already knowing the climate and meteorological subtleties of this area and, more importantly, how important the weather is to the people of this area has sure made my move to KSFY easier. 

 If you have any comments or questions, by all means, drop me an email.  My email address is scable@ksfy.com.  If you have weather to report, send an email to weather@ksfy.com.  Using the weather address will assure that your report gets to Phil, Derick, and me.

Thanks for stopping by!
