This is the time of year when the best snowstorm blooper reels are made, and some of the best come from live TV broadcasters. Whether you’re still waiting for Snowpocalypse or it has arrived, and you’re stuck indoors, you know that the unsung heroes are the on-site weather reporters. These poor souls make us feel warm and cozy as they brave the elements, to show us why we should just stay put.
I always wonder if this is the career they dreamed of, or if perhaps they drew the short straw at the TV station. The reporters in this compilation meet with unexpected perils. While freezing her tail feathers off, one Seattle reporter is accosted, her program taken over by an entitled citizen whose fun she has somehow ruined…Only in Seattle! Others find that snowplow showers, photo-bombs, and in one case, a sinking car on a pond are just part of the job. We in turn, learn that some four-letter words are international. The real troopers show us just how dangerous ice is, by demonstrating the cartwheeling slide and sit, and a host of variations…And it’s okay to laugh from the safety of our sofas!
