According to WSTM News, Chris Brandolino, our meteorologist for the last 12 years is leaving his post to take a position in Perth, Australia. Not that it's earth-shattering news but what an opportunity for him and his family to see another part of the world! I'd love to hear if anyone has spotted him down under and to know what your impressions are of him.....

Hopefully he will not tell his compatriots how nice Australia is- we could not possibly fit 300 million Yanks down here.

Nah, that's only good for silly graziers and illegal immigrants

Ever read the Billy Bryson book about Australia? He reckons that the people who live at White Cliffs should be the people chosen to colonise Mars as it is so desolate there.

I wonder if we'll see him popping up on our weather news at some stage?

Hey I live in that big empty space and let me tell you all the Yanks already up and left. Still they left me with lots of excellent facilities. Bowling alley, swimming pool, cinema, gym, library, sports fields. Population 300. Sweet.
