There's a Low over Quebec City


When I was a tiny lad and watched the CBC news I was amazed by the weather. There was a weather man on the news (Percy Salzman) who “predicted” the weather for the Montreal area clear up to the next day.
He used a chalk board with the Montreal map & made squirls and circles to inform us of the weather.
Time ahead forty years ….. Don McGowan (now retired) and Frank Cavallaro continue to give us forecasts. Their predictions (with the aid of satellites & science) can tell us what’s going to happen in the next five days.
Even CJAD’s chief meteorologist Ed Cowell fearlessly tells us at what time the snow/rain will begin.
Let it be known…. None of them can hold a candle to Percy, who tossed his chalk in the air at the end of his segment and said “…….& that’s the weather”
