My WeatherJazz® guest is Meteorologist Tom Chisolm whose long-running journey in television weather led him to discovering some interesting connections between weather patterns, solar activity, and human behavior.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

On this special Christmas Eve edition of WeatherJazz®, let me share the story behind two cherished Christmas hymns!

We are VERY excited to welcome Meteorologist Dontae Jones to the FOX 8 weather team here in Cleveland. Dontae is originally from Akron, so returning "home" for him is somethinbg special after starting his media meteorology career in Columbus, Ohio, then Greensboro, North Carolina, and most recently Dayton, Ohio before making his way back homne to northeast Ohio.

I had the privilege of inviting him to be a part of today's WeatherJazz® episode so we could casually chat about some of his career journey details and some of the things that Dontae likes when he is not drawing television isobars.

It's always great having Gunnar Gunnarsson as one of our returning guests on WeatherJazz®. As we all approach the winter solstice in a few weeks, the impact is considerably greater near the Arctic Circle. That's just one of the many topics we covered during this Open Line Friday edition.
