Quick Dick Goddard story. A co-worker & I were debating how good Bob Feller was. Mr. G was calmly at his desk working on something. We didn't think he was paying attention. Finally mr. G looks up gets out his address book and says "here's his number why don't you give him a call"

It's been just about 9 years since my son's first football game back in 2013. Spent a lot of great years coaching and watching him and the rest of his buddies grow into young men. Now he's a senior, playing Varsity offensive line. Couldn't be prouder!

Mr Goddard passed away this morning. I had the unique pleasure of watching him growing up/working w/him in the evenings. He had a witty, sarcastic, intelligent & dry sense of humor which was a joy to be around. RIP Mr. G. Hope you're enjoying some pretzels w/the big man upstairs

Back in the late 1990s Dick Goddard somehow got on the Marilyn Manson tour bus... met his parents and got tickets to the show. There is a picture floating around with him giving Marilyn Manson a woolybear sticker! You can't make this up

Dick Goddard told me one time he jokingly told another meteorologist that the Lake Erie fish count number was a new statistic from the NWS. The meteorologist ended up using it on the air! Mr. G loved to stir the pot

Still my basement Studio light up blew out this morning. Now mister Goddard has passed away. Wonder if he was sending me a message not to screw up the forecast and that my Emmy would be waiting for me at the door 🤣 That was his sense of humor.

Just read an article from a local newspaper that said "some models are predicting (snowfall in inches)". Note to all. Models don't do the weather predicting. Humans do. These are tools that are used in the process. They are guides. Meteorologists create the actual forecasts

Just because severe storms were not occurring over your house or in your line of sight doesn't mean other locations are always storm-free. Always check the radar for perspective before complaining why storm coverage interrupts your favorite TV show

Tomorrow it will snow. This front will produce snow from Denver to Boston. The reaction from most will be the same as if flakes of battery acid were falling from the sky.

When you rode past the stage during the WB parade Mr. Goddard would introduce you to the crowd. Evidently one year my kids will wearing last year's shirts. He says "Here's Scott Sabol & his kids....umm Scotty evidently you didn't get this year's shirts I put on your desk." 🤣

There were a lot of people who didn't believe that this storm was going to be a big deal...didn't think we'd have snow on Christmas day. Our confidence was high, even a week out. Highly doubt this forecast could have been made 25 years ago with this degree of accuracy

Mr. Goddard story: Mr. G was off the day Hurricane Katrina made landfall. So I'm working for him that evening. The next thing I know he's in the weather office! I say "Mr. G why are you here. You're off today?" He replies, "there's a big storm. Its in all the papers."

I love how people are playing the "I walked to school both ways in the cold Back in the Day" card. In reality most schools were closed in the late 70s and early 80s during those Arctic outbreaks. The turnpike was shut down. Wind chill factor was calculated based on 1930s method

One day Mr. G & I were talking about the drought of '88. I asked if he remembered me calling the station. He said he did. He wondered why I stopped calling. I said it wasn't cool to call in weather in high school. He then said "people are calling you a weather nerd aren't they?"

We--meteorologists--always need to remember the psychology behind what we do. As communicators of science (data) we need to put ourselves in the minds of the public and ask: "How's the viewer going to interpret what I say?" I try to take into account how people react to EACH WORD
