I have a little crush on this meteorologist. :loveya:

1. Thats cute

I like the part when you just see the cat tail wandering into view..:)

4. I never took German... I wonder what he said to explain the cat

So cute.

9. With the little German I remember

I believe he said " and the studio cat is also happy to hear( can't make out the rest- something about a clearing up in the weather)".

"Der studio katzen"- I knew it! He's a studio cat.

Mr. Kitteh acted like he knew him and the surroundings,
no fear there whatsoever.

:D

10. You can tell they're friends.

Studio Cat is very relaxed. :-)

[Sanity Claws]

13. At the end the man also said something about the cat

and thick fur. I didn't catch the beginning part but probably something like he hopes the cat has thick fur (because of the cold weather.)

[Lorien]

16. That's all I got too (my High School German is rusty)

he said something about the cat at the end too, but I couldn't quite catch it. :shrug:

Any German speaking DUers out there? Where's Karenina?

[Kajsa]

17. I would love the find out what

he said in between what was understood.

My guess is, most of it was the weather report,
but who knows?

He got Mr. Studio Cat right in there with the
report.

I love it!

:D

2. I saw that last night!

Both KO and KNBC-LA showed this
clip, but it was a shorter version.

The meteorologist didn't skip a beat
in his report, yet notice how relaxed
the kitty is?

This is adorable, what a nice guy he is.
:loveya:

Thanks for sharing this.

:) :hi:

5. love how he went on scratching the cat while talking

and the cat was trying to "kiss" him. :rofl:

[Kajsa]

8. I know!

The kitty was trying to kiss him
while he gave the report.

It was so cute.

:rofl:

[stuntcat]

3. I want that weather!

How CUTE :loveya: I have to send it on to everybody!

[Lavender Brown]

6. Isn't it sweet?

:loveya:

[stuntcat]

7. (I have a crush on him too)

the way he picks up the cat and lets him kiss him :loveya: :loveya: is too sweeeet!

[Neshanic]

11. That is so cute I can't stand it. You can hear the cat purr for a second too.

Der studio katzen...That is so adorable, and the kisses.

Wayne Mahar
Chief Meteorologist

[e-mail]
Wayne Mahar

School: National Weather Service
Hometown: Brunswick, Maine

Wayne has been Chief meteorologist at WSTM since January 1985. At that time he became the first fulltime meteorologist on Central New York television, which began a whole new era of taking television weather more seriously. A couple of other rather unique situations that have developed with Wayne over the years are The Weather Outside, and Doppler the Weather Cat. WSTM is one of only a dozen or so TV stations across the country that does the weather outside on the Weather Deck, no matter how cold or snowy it might be in the winter. On the Weather Deck with Wayne a few times each week is Doppler, a tradition which developed about eight years ago when a stray cat wandered onto the Weather Deck one evening while Wayne was live on the air. In case you didn't realize, that worked out well as Wayne is an animal lover and has had a variety of dogs and cats all his life.

I gauge the intensity of the next day's weahther by Wayne Mahar's accent. The more snow and wind we're going to get, the broader his Maine accent gets!

15. I never saw the Syracuse weathercat before

Doppler is such a cute name for a cat. :rofl:
