Last Time.
Last time, Mark went for his military duty in Missouri.
Last time, we had to say goodbye for a week, many times more.
After 20 years, my MSgt is home for good.
4 deployments, 1 local activation, and 1 State Emergency Duty. 🪖
Tell me why this still happens in 2023??
For the record, I don't care what I'm wearing. My job is to tell you your forecast. As a woman in this industry for over 15 years, I've not only earned the title of meteorologist, but scientist as well.
Happy

DAY.
I will never understand why people think their TV show is more important. It's not.
Get over yourself.
We will cut into programming every time.
You can watch your show later. It's our job to be in the air for the entirety of the warning.
You're welcome.
So incredibly proud of my husband Mark (pictured right) for re- enlisting another 3 years for the US Air Force. He'll be at 20 years at the end of this one.
We just started dating when he enlisted at 18 in 2003, and happy to see how accomplished he is..…
Sooo excited that in exactly 2 weeks, I'll be teaching at my alma mater

about climate change and sustainability. 🌎🥼🔭
Nervous? Yup.
Out of comfort zone? Sure.
If you don't challenge yourself, you'll never grow. 🤞
Why are so many people triggered that I posted a Juneteenth planner before a Father's day planner (which I did like 3 hours later)? Can't we celebrate both? Are we that selfish?
Hey guys! I won't be on TV for a while, as I tested positive for COVID.
I just feel like I have a nasty cold, but I'll post as much weather updates via the WW12 team as I can.
Thanks for your concern and support as always.

TODAY marks FOUR years I've been with WISN 12 News!
I can't believe it to be honest. Really just flew by.
Many in my industry move around from place to place...market to market...home to home.
My journey took me down to the deep south of Jackson, Mississippi when I was 22...
I've lost a cat before.
Memphis in 2018 to kidney failure.
Today, we made the decision to put Maverick down after he was diagnosed with too many problems to keep his quality of life.
It wasn't easier. This time, we had a great team from Laps of Love …
It's been 12 years since I married the love of my life. Happy Anniversary babe. We never knew the wild ride we were facing after our wedding in 2008, but I wouldn't change a minute of it. You are my rock and partner that I never deserved but glad I have. <3
I don't understand.
We said this was not a morning storm.
It was always an afternoon and evening accumulating system.
There was no hype or panic. We tell you like it is.
And for those saying it's not too bad. See exhibits A, B, & C.
Goodbye to my happy place.
Where the wind smells of sea salt and flowers....🌊
Where the sunsets are always beautiful...🌅
Where you sleep to the sounds of palm leaves rustling...🌴
Until next time, Mahalo.🤙
See you dark and early Monday morning, Milwaukee. 🌄
Exactly at this time, 15 years ago, I was getting into my wedding dress - ready to marry my high school boyfriend.
We were kids, not knowing where life would take us, but it's a journey I would not want to embark on with anyone else.
Happy 15-year anniversary, Mark. ❤️
It's the year of jabs!
My latest is the flu shot💉
I have a chronic autoimmune skin disease called psoriasis where the treatment of it suppresses my immune system.
When the Moderna booster is available, I'll get that too.

Everyone, meet Sway!
The newest member of our family. 👋
After losing Maverick in March, the house felt empty with just 2 kitties. We've been a 3 cat house for so long. 😢

Hey guys!
This is really all I've been up to.
I know the WW12 team has you covered weather wise.
I'm getting better, but the fatigue from this virus is unreal.
Fever is just about gone, and sinuses are congested still.

but it's my husband's (Mark) birthday today!! We've been together since I was 16, married at 21, and lived in 7 homes in 3 states together. To the man that lives with a crazy hot mess of a woman... Happy 34th babe. Muah! 😍
TO say I was surprised was an UNDERSTATEMENT!
@Ginger_Zee
this was such a great birthday treat. My best to you as well, and hope to talk soon! Thank you!
#FanGirling
Made my first turkey. I prepped it, Mark kept it good and basted while I worked all day. Team effort!
Usually I'm the dessert gal. We do Thanksgiving on Wednesday with the in-laws.
Tomorrow is my side of the family.
2 big meals!!!

What an experience!

You may know, my husband Mark is in the Air Force Guard. He's an E7, and after multiple deployments and activations, he's less than 5 months from retiring from Whiteman AFB.
This is his 20 year mark, and I couldn't be more …
Out till December 5th. I'm on holiday with mom to the most magical place on earth. 🏰🌴
I'm taking a social media break, so if you have weather questions, please reach out to Mark, Molly, or Daji.

What a semester!! 🌎 🌏
I did extensive research on past, current, and future climate change dynamics, discussed political roadblocks, and Earth's …
P.s.s. I've been married almost 15 years. Mark and I decided to not have children. Just because you are married, doesn't mean that's your plan. We like being the cool aunt/uncles :)
Psa.
I'm off until the new year.
Enjoy your time with family and friends this holiday.
Going to try to do a little social media break.
If the weather gets scary, I'll be back. I don't anticipate that.
The meteorologists at Weather Watch 12 take great pride in forecasting. At times, it can be very humbling. This is one of those times. We are no longer expecting the big totals of snow. It will still snow this evening and be windy. A full explanation at 5.
Hey everyone! ☀️🌴
I'll be out of the office until MONDAY June 12th.
I will *not* be updating my social media (Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Email) until I return.
For your local weather - please contact Mark, Molly, or Daji!
I love the BLOCK feature.
Again, I'm open to any inquiries and questions about climate and weather. Just don't waste my time with websites called *above ground news*. I mean... come on.
Today marks my THIRD year with

We like to rescue old cars, instead of buying new ones. Mark found this gem last summer that needs engine and interior work. This is my soon to be new one, after its younger version got hit in 2021.

You win some.
You lose some.
After horrendous storms last night, and all the same (if not more) severe weather indicators... tonight is lackluster in comparison.
Heading home and going to bed.
Heat continues tomorrow.
