"Sheets, towels, blankets work just fine. "We are not ready to see all these plants go away, so we are covering all the things that could be hurt by the frost," said Dave Forehand, the Vice President of Gardens at the Dallas Arboretum.įorehand says you don't have to have professional cloth to protect your plants at home. The Dallas Arboretum normally lets freezes serve as a natural transition to winter, but this time around the freeze threat is so early, it is far too soon to lose the beautiful blooms. If you have plants, you should cover them up. FOX 4's Ali Turiano explains how frost forms. I love hearing from viewers! If you have a weather question or comments please feel free to follow me on Twitter on my Facebook page.It is going to be chilly in North Texas this week. I am truly grateful for this amazing opportunity at Fox4 doing what I love in a place like Dallas. I am also a big sports fan cheering on my Alma Mater the Nittany Lions and America's Team the Dallas Cowboys. Being of Italian descent, I love to cook and learn about different foods in other cultures. I have recently become a yogi and I love any kind of fitness class that gets the blood pumping. In my spare time, fitness and health play a major role in my life. I have had family in Dallas for many years and I've always felt that this great city was like a second home. I am thrilled and ready to be a part of the Dallas community. Severe weather happens all year round in Central Florida, and the six years I spent in Orlando helped my forecasting skills tremendously!Īfter six years in Florida, I was eager for a new challenge, and I knew Dallas would be that opportunity. For a week, Fay beat up on the Sunshine State and dropped over three feet of rain in some areas. Tropical Storm Fay is one storm I will never forget. While in Orlando, I forecasted everything from sunny skies to floods and hurricanes. After Elmira, News 13 in Orlando called and I jumped at the opportunity of being closer to family and the beach! After almost two years of snow, ice, and extreme cold, I was ready for those wild thunderstorms that started my meteorologist dream. During my time in the Finger Lakes, I also had the opportunity to fill in at our sister station WICU in Erie, Pennsylvania. Upon graduation, luckily I got my first job at WENY, in Elmira, New York as the morning meteorologist. While at Penn State, I participated in the CampusWeather Service and a College of Communications show, called "The Centre County Report." I also had the opportunity to have an apprenticeship at the National Weather Service. I attended Penn State University, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in meteorology, with a forecasting and communications option. I knew being a broadcast meteorologist was the right choice. It was there that I combined two passions weather and being on camera. I wanted to chase tornadoes! My mother of course would not allow that, so I continued my studies in many advanced math and science courses while in high school, to prepare myself for college.ĭuring my senior year, I was fortunate enough to have an internship at WFTS in Tampa. Then the blockbuster movie "Twister" came out and solidified my career path in an instant. Towering clouds and lightning sprawled across the sky like a spiderweb I was fascinated by it all. Like clockwork, powerful thunderstorms rolled through each afternoon lighting up the sky. My love for weather started at the age of eleven when my family moved us from New York to Tampa Bay, Florida.
