I spent 32 years in Birmingham, AL and my "Meteorologist of Record" is Spann; but Tom Skilling is like my fun meteorologist uncle. Congrats to you, Tom!!
I’ve been watching Tom since I can remember. He’s the only meteorologist I’ve ever trusted for accurate reports. I love his passion and overall excitement for the weather. Tom, thank you, I will miss your trusty and accurate weather reports, when a storm was coming, and I had to plan for plowing-we would only watch and trust Tom. Tom, I hope you have the best retirement enjoying weather all around the world! I will miss you on my TV dearly, but I’m so happy for you. 🎉

My favorite moment when he was visited by Bozo T. Clown (Joey D'Auria) and Cooky (Roy Brown) during the "Clown About Town" segment when touring their station, WGN-TV on The Bozo Show.
My favorite is Tom Freakin’ Skilling. I laughed all the way to work that day.
Tom needs to write a book, he has so many amazing stories.
