A Great Canadian

Iconic 1960s weatherman Percy Saltzman died yesterday. He was 91.

I flip my chalk in the air to salute you, sir.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with the weather. I suspect this may have started in my childhood when I HAD to watch every weather report right to the end just to see Percy flip his chalk.

drawing the weather on a chalk board map of canada beats all that new fangled radar stuff all to heck

flip on, percy
