Weather is of the Heart

Saturday's program entitled "Under an Ocean of Air: Meditations on the weather" featured a myriad of fun, emotional and complicated perspectives on the weather. Highlights of the program included, trivia, an extreme weather montage, nuclear war during the Cold War and two interviews: Steve Maleski and Tom Messner.

He has been forecasting the weather from the Museum since 1982 and Mark Breen (on the right) has been there with him from the beginning. Their charming reports can be heard on VPR and sometimes other regional stations that extend throughout NY, VT, NH, Western Maine and Southern Quebec.
