    I have SO much respect for the tradition of 880. A lot of different emotions wrapped up in today's WCBS Newsradio 880 wrap up 'party' of nearly 60 years of service. Captured by @AielloTV

    So saddened by the news that one of this region's most iconic and legendary meteorologists has passed at the age of 100. A mentor to me and undoubtedly one of my biggest inspirations from a very young age. Rest in peace Dr Frank. My deepest condolences to Storm, Pam and Alison

    THANK YOU. It goes without saying that it would not have been this easy without people you love to work with, like TK and the entire WCBS news team. With special thanks to @TimScheld and Chris Oliviero. And, all of our faithful listeners through the years

    What better way to brighten up a rainy Friday than to say thanks to WCBS-AM/880, for allowing to me to TRY to correctly forecast the weather for 37 years. I'll get it right someday! 😉 The climate has changed over...

    Welcome to summer. Allow me just one nerdy bit of semantics here. I keep hearing 'today is the longest day'. Not true; every day is the same ~24 hours. Today has' the longest amount of daylight' in the northern hemisphere Carry on.................

    Today is the Summer Solstice and Astronomical Summer begins... right now! It's the longest day of the year with just over 15 hours of daylight at NYC. Days will start to get shorter from here until the Winter Solstice on December 21st! But until then, enjoy that summer weather!
