BTW, Ellen and her hubby Mark welcomed Piper Sunny Bacca to the world on Friday! Congratulations! Keep in mind, Ellen lost her first last year, so this is great news!

Bill is still doing "Mancave Monday" weather-related historical features from his basement, but that's pretty much it. I'm sure he'd pull an air shift if he was available, but as shown on his social media, he's been traveling a lot lately.

Surprised they didn't borrow someone from WLNS like how Blake originally appeared on WOOD.

He grew up in GR and used to work at WEYI so he’s not completely unfamiliar with Michigan weather.

Chief Emeritus Bill has long had his "Man cave" to broadcast his weather reports remotely - I can't wait to see Ellen's "Mom cave" as the Chief follows suit to broadcast her weather reports remotely...

Congrats Ellen & Mark on a healthy baby Piper is a good name. I knew that the weather met was doing it taped from another state.
