National Weatherperson’s Day

What would we do without our local forecaster?! We rely on them to help dress the kids for the bus stop, plan a lunch outing, or know if the ballgame will be rained out.

National Weatherperson’s Day is celebrated on February 5th in honor of John Jeffries’ birthday.  Jeffries was the first person to make and record daily weather observations in Boston in 1744.

Today we recognize the work of highly-trained meteorologists and their impact on our lives – from prepping for work to prepping for a weather emergency!
