Over the last several months, popular NBC4 meteorologist Doug Kammerer has been sporadically doing his weather spots on location around the DC area, using a popup green screen. Combining with a second meteorologist back at the NBC4 Washington studio (usually Frederick County’s own Amelia Draper), Kammerer does the weather and then interviews or shines a light on local community members who he finds important.
The unpredictability of the live shots has given the weather reports more personality – such as Tuesday’s rendezvous at an ice rink. Kammerer was on location at SkateQuest located in Reston, Virginia. Kammerer tried to play hockey with some of the local kids and I’m going to go ahead and let you guess what happened next.
Chris Bourque leads the AHL with 39 points (11-28) in 34 games played for the Hershey Bears. Monday, he earned the greatest accomplishment of his career and was named to the 2018 United States Olympic team.
