After losing the WHDH Chief Meteorologist seat to Pete Bouchard just over a year ago, Todd Gross bounced off to the internets rather quickly. Todd has continued to update his weather blog, but has quietly (for those of us inside 128) has also taken up residence at the Western Mass NBC affiliate WWLP out of Springfield. He reminds us today that it has been 29 years to the day since the blizzard of '78.... more ›

Bostonist made friends with Todd Gross a couple of months ago. Back in a time just after he'd been, well, "let go," at WHDH as chief meteorologist. He was nice enough to answer all our ridiculous questions about weather that we could come up with. Unfortunately we're not as big of weather nerds as we aspired to be and our interest waned. Every now and again we go over to toddgross.com to check out what's new in the world of our station-less meteorologist. It started with the blog – moved up to the podcast – and now he's got a vlog with a green-screen bringing you weather updates every day. He's followed a decade long progression of technology in all of a couple of months. If you've been itchin' for a little Gross, take a peek at what he's broadcasting with the power of the internet. Spoiler: He's drawing the arrows still but also throws in a bit more technical information about the why of weather than you'll pick up on television news. more ›

If a Nor'easter is coming in from over the ocean, isn't it possible for snowflakes to taste like salt? more ›

From time to time Todd Gross will be answering some questions here in a column called “Weather or Not.” Got a question, not necessarily weather related, you’d like to ask Todd? Well, ask him. On this rainy day we thought better to think about the sun and other stars. more ›

Bostonist loves the Inside Track ladies at the Herald. They’ve got their finger on the tiny trickle of celebrity and athlete gossip coming from the Hub. As was pointed out earlier this year, they were the only ones who could keep track of The Departed. But this morning they’re knocking on the Internet and Bosonist’s “Weather or Not” man Todd Gross. Set to make an appearance this morning on WAAF, before Todd went live, the... more ›

Cosmetic surgery shouldn’t be an option for persons under the age of eighteen. Here at Bostonist HQ we think the rules are different for the web. It's a brand new year. We're fast approaching our one-year birthday (and just passed the anniversary of the informal meet-and-greet with Mr. Dobkin). In order to get our kicks in ought-six we took to the knife and trimmed and tucked a few things. A change at the top of... more ›

Ah, the reliable seasonal occurrences in our fair city: Snow; car accidents caused by snow; potholes caused (in part) by snow; parking disputes caused by snow; weather reports predicting fantastic, super-duper, cripple-the-region-and-rock-your-world snow, and, inevitably, the failure of said snow actually to materialize. How disappointed was Bostonist? Very disappointed. Imagine the scene: At 6:15 (15 minutes before our alarm is set to go off), we hear the clarion call of Toddler Bostonist, a firm believer in early-to-bed-early-to-rise. Usually, a pre-alarm wake-up is the occasion for some grumbling on our part, or at the very least a moment of looking longingly at the clock as we savor the last soft touch of our pillow. But today, we thought, "Snow! When we emerge from our darkened bedroom and go through the kitchen to Toddler Bostonist's room, we will look out the back window and see Somerville blanketed in pure, white, early-morning snowy glory!" And so we dashed from bed and up to the window only to see . . . the remains of the weekend's dusting and a bruised-looking gray sky with no white stuff falling from it. As the kids say, WTF? On the radio later, we heard a very apologetic fellow from the National Weather Service explain that the storm unexpectedly sucked dry air from northern New England and evaporated the snow before it hit the ground. Whatever. We think the recently fired Todd Gross is probably to blame. more ›
