Weatherman Percy Saltzman & his famous chalk, 1967: CBC Archives | CBC
/ cbctv
Now that's a weatherman !
This dude is an artist! Look at how perfect he draws those fronts and isobars.
So much more informative than anything today.
I remember watching him every night, damn I had my own chalk board and yep, I did the same thing trying to be like Mr. Bowtie....lol, sad part was he could give you a weather forecast for the week and unlike today's weather people despite all they're fancy equipment they can't get morning to afternoon right yet Percy was spot on for the whole week. Please note temps were marked in Fahrenheit not Celsius. Lastly you know what he never missed catching the chalk in the end, miss you Percy RIP
I think I got it, but where does the wide receiver go?
+1 actually clever comment
To the right, then he darts left, then he heads for the goal line..... TOUCHDOWN!!!!!
@@ronaldshank7589 you forgot "BOOM!!"
@@kevinbuttry8135 Oops! You're right.
BOOM!!!!!
Is that good?
Percy Saltzman was not only a part of the CBC's Golden Age of Television but a part of ever so many Canadian lives who today look back and with nostalgia and fond memories remember him.
THIS GUY'S INCREDIBLE - NO SMILEY FACES, JUST THE BARE BONES FACTS BUT WHAT AN ENTERTAINER!
Man he was so fun to watch! I made a big deal of seeing him when I was a kid on the train from downtown to Pierrefonds , he and I just gabbed about the weather and systems he just gave me the bug! When he gave me my very own chalk he made the whole car laugh he made such a presentation. Thanks for putting these vids on here
Fantastic. I wish they brought weather to life like that today. With all the technology and algorithms doing much of the forecasting I don't think the individual meteorologists can internalize the systems as you could see Percy did. I want that kink of forecasting back.
To each her/his own, I much prefer accuracy over entertainment when it comes to weather forecasting. His bold chalk work may be entertaining but it's unlikely that it had much to do with what was actually going on.
I remember him well. Miss the chalk toss.
Just wow 👌🏾 the ability to retain that much info and presentation was Top-notch!
Back then you really had to know your stuff!
As an American, I completely understood this forecast without running the temps through Google!
Same here 😂 worth to mention Canada started using centigrade degrees in 1975 which was a move opposed by a ton of people but after a while they accepted it
@@gabrielmiller668 Ironically, Canada went metric because the US was supposed to do the same thing...and then never did.
In the U.S. our TV weather people always said every instance of cold or snow is coming "out of Canada." It is fitting that he shows things coming out of the U.S.
Here in Vancouver, we had meteorologist Bob Fortune who also used the chalk board. I remember him drawing storms and describing the weather in his mellow voice. In those days, before satellite, Canada had a weather ship that spent most of it's time about 600 miles off Vancouver island observing the weather that was invariably going to be Vancouver's weather a couple of days later.
😃😃Mr. Saltzman, a staple of my youth. He could (and did) write equally well with either hand. And, quite honestly, I found his dynamic presentations a heck of a lot more informative than what we have now. When he did violent little circles boy - was weather on the way! Bless your memory, sir. 😃😃
Talk about knowing your job this man didn’t miss a beat
This is the late 50's not 1967. Colour TV was in widespread use by 1965 and Saltzman was retired by then.
The CBC went to fully colour in 1974.
He's remarkable. Much like our own Bill Matheson, they both knew their highs, lows and quasi stationary fronts like no other.
Imagine the work that went behind to understand all this weather patterns and accurately draw them live on the map.
I guess with todays technology, I don't think we need to do that much of work(although I'm not a weatherman so I probably can't appreciate the work that goes behind being one).
Guy reminds me of my grade school teacher
I need a Percy Saltzman weather app on my phone NOW!
I love the oldies .... more ... more chalk ...hmmm tasty chalk ...
Did anybody notice how Florida looks different than a normal map today? Discussing genius by the way. Thanks for the upload.
Always watched Percy followed by My pet, Juliette.
Didn't she come on right after the hockey game?
Wait how old does this make you
Brilliant, even now.
I used to enjoy his weather analysis every night.
We always waited for him to throw the chalk in the air and catch it.
"And that's the weather…"
(Tosses chalk)
I wish there were more of his videos.
Both blackboards & chalk feared this man!
The greatest weatherman of my childhood.
Grew up watching him every evening
Now that's forecasting.
This looks like something that the SCTV crew would have parodied in the 1970s.
Back when we were all proud of our CBC.
Fantastic. Thank you so much! I want to see all of Percy's old forecasts. And I want to hear him on radio with that insolent Bill Deegan, not giving Percy the respect he deserved. Still, it was funny.
Exactly more or less
Let’s go back to this way!!
Look at that huge snow hurricane!!
Epic! 👌
The Master Weather Forecaster, bar NONE!!!!
". . . exactly in that spot, more or less."
love it!
I'll try to make a song out of this
I would have liked to see him toss the chalk.....is there another video where he does?
They stopped that after he took out a camerman
@@mortimersnurd6416 LOL
He should be a football head coach.
What part of the '67 was this? It looks like January ... or October.
And now for Charlie Gurski with the sports.
But he`s supposed to throw his chalk up in the air at the end!!
Yep -- I think everyone watching this would have been waiting for it! Lives on in memory, anyway.
Are there any more of these?
Whoever has to erase the board should ask for a raise.
That's a footie coach
Please help me find more clips of percy saltzman
John Madden would be so proud.
This is the guy who predicted global warming
OMG they never showed him throw the chalk in the air and catch it at the end of his report...That is what he was famous for...He never missed catching it in all his years as a weatherman... He said and thats the weather folks then throw it high in the air and catch it while looking straight into the camera..LOL
what happened to brains like this?
no one has a brain today..its all computer brain which is seriouisly over-rated!!!
No chalk toss?
38000 pounds .... winter!
...living proof that the first "cursor" was actually a piece of white chalk,...
Uh...ok Percy I've got it????
Where's the chalk!?
always create cash dragg!
@PXTSERYU_ I saw you
