Storm Field and Other Strangely Named TV Weathermen

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on February 22, 2008 at 7:56 pm


Listgasm has a neat list of the 20 most strangely named real weathermen (and weatherwomen). Take this one above for instance. His name is Storm Field, and he’s a meteorologist for WWOR New Jersey.

LinkThanks ryanr!

What? You don’t believe me that Storm Field is, indeed, a veteran weatherman? Here’s Storm Field’s IMDB entry and here’s an excerpt from another article, this time from The Morning News by Clay Risen:

2. Storm Field—WWOR (UPN), Secaucus, N.J.
When Storm Field was a little boy, he wanted to be an architect. Then one day his father took him fishing out on the lake. After a few hours of no-fish-biting, lazy-summer-afternoon boy-and-Dad bonding, Frank Field turned to his son and said, “Storm, if your mother and I’d wanted you to be an architect, we’d have named you Rem. Or Zaha. But we named you Storm for a reason. You were born to be a weatherman, son.” To which Storm said, “Dad, if you named me Storm so that I’d grow up to be a weatherman, why did you name my sister Aphrodite?”

    I'd believe he's a weatherman long before I'll believe he was born with that name.

    or how about Pete Sack from NBC out of Chicago. His name has nothing to do with weather but it always makes me smile every time I see it. Their morning anchor named Dick Johnson is just as childishly funny.

    Amy Freeze here in Chicago.
    When I lived in Philadelphia, there was a weather reporter named Glenn Schwartz, but he actually uses his nickname on air as his first name... Hurricane. So yes, he's on air as Hurricane Schwartz.

    In Atlanta, we have Flip Spiceland. I'm not sure if he's the weather guy or not, it's just a fun name for anyone on TV news.

    what wasn't mentioned is that Frank Field was himself a meteorologist, Frank and Storm are a well known weather person father and son duo.

    On KOMO news 4 on the Northwest Peninsula we've got Andy Wappler on the doppler radar. i always thought he had had to changed his name to get the job to something.

    You'd think that were the case, but they never take advantage of the fact that his name rhymes with “doppler.” Also, his father was a weatherman for the same station.

    As a little girl in Chicago watching John Coleman do the weather he was always a fave...very funny he was, but then the gorgeous (too bad we all get old and fat) Storm Field filled in for John when John was on vacation and boyeee...we all sat there watching this slick NY weatherman...he captured out hearts and after the weather, Dad inquired, "so how's it going to be tomorrow", and not one of us girls knew...we were just so enthralled with this handsome young man named Storm Field...what a name!...Now we have locally on Fox a gal named Amy Freeze.
