Hard to believe but this metal box covered with dust is the first radar here at FOX 8 back in the 1950.

The pictures tell it all!

That equipment should be kept in a museum for better safe keeping for future generations to view how things were done "back in the day"

Back in the day? They probably use this now. Explains the weather forecasts! Don't make any outdoor plans...

Growing up in Hudson, if you ask anyone who has known me since childhood, they'll tell you that was always interested in weather and baseball. I played collegiate baseball and hit over 0.400 over those four years. In fact, I still play for a semi-pro team here in Cleveland when time permits. Recently, I've taken up drumming which I played back in junior high school. Suffice it to say, I need ALOT of work. For the last 10 years, I have served as a meteorologist at two stations in West Virginia , here at FOX 8 since 2003 and most recently the morning show.
