TELEGRAM SINGER: I do! (SINGS) Look out Karen, here I am! With your singing telegram! Sent to say that as your weather person, you are the greatest. We all know that you're the best, you are heads above the rest. You deserve a grand ovation and a celebration. This is the best way we thought to convey."
"METEOROLOGIST KAREN ROGERS: WOW! TELEGRAM SINGER: Every morning here you are, you are like a shining star, making every morning better with your cheery forecast. Let me say thanks one more time, but please say no more snow blast! Happy National Weather Person's Day, everyone! She's the best meteorologist who makes every day Sunshiny! Wach above via 6ABC's Action News at 6."
National Weatherperson's Day commemorates the birth of John Jeffries in 1744, who began daily weather observations in Boston in 1774 and performed the first balloon observation in 1784. During 6ABC Action News at 6, meteorologist Karen Rogers was surprised on-air when anchor Matt O'Donnell and a singing telegram performer interrupted her forecast. The performer delivered a boisterous, complimentary song, presented balloons, and urged "no more snow blast" while praising Rogers's cheerful morning forecasts. The moment combined a holiday tribute to early weather observation with an affectionate, public recognition of a local meteorologist.
