My friends, I told you I’d let you know as soon as I could. I can now tell you that my vacation is almost over!
As you know from our friendship, I loved waking up very early in the morning and bringing you the first forecast of the day and I look forward to doing it again beginning Monday, March 4, 2013 for CBS4 in Rock Island, Illinois.
Friends, go to their Facebook page and “Like” them as a thank you for me.
Thank you CBS4 for welcoming me to your team. I am thrilled to be back to television and forecasting.

I am not a morning person, but your are worth getting up for. This is just the change I needed to help me get going. Good luck and I will be tuning in. I am so happy for you.
Posted by anthonypeoples on February 15, 2013 at 11:50 am
Krisann,
Thank very much for the kind words. I appreciate you following me to CBS4. If it makes you feel any better about not being a morning person, I’ll get up at 1:30am to get ready for work and you can sleep in until 5 or 6 a.m.
I hope that works for you. 🙂
Have a great weekend, my friend.
