Comments on: An Open Thank-You Note…. https://chrisciminoweather.com/an-open-thank-you-note/ A blog about a meteorologist, traveler, food & wine lover, Chris Cimino’s latest adventures Fri, 27 Sep 2019 10:33:03 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Carole J. Brandi https://chrisciminoweather.com/an-open-thank-you-note/#comment-225 Fri, 27 Sep 2019 10:33:03 +0000 https://chrisciminoweather.com/?p=784#comment-225 Chris, I shared on my Facebook page about interviewing you as someone (YOU) who I watched for years after reading your blog. I never read blogs. Weather is one of my hobbies and those who report are my friends from afar helping me plan my day. I didn’t know you left NBC until I saw the post on Facebook. Seeing someone talk on the TV is different than the printed word. I can’t keep typing through the tears. I had job dreams, and hearing a voice and seeing someone is like you know them personally. Thank you for being the TV friend, and I hope I can sit and chat with you over coffee about your career and have you teach me. The sky is the limit right? Thank you for telling me every day so I could be a good sailor. God Bless.

I will always miss you in my morning routine, you’re right about not letting people in before brushing my teeth. Please continue to live the good life and let us know how and where you are, thank you for allowing me to continue to follow you as I’ve done for almost half my life. Wishing you nothing but the best 💕

This country’s awesome, especially going West via I-80 to California. Visit Mount Rushmore if possible-photos don’t do it justice. It’s so awesome it’ll leave you speechless. Enjoy your new journey on your Path of Life. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors.

You made a unique connection with so many people over the years. We love you and will follow you wherever you go and whatever you do. Just find something that makes you happy. You deserve nothing less!

I still tune in every morning and secretly wish that maybe we would see you filling in. Lol. I’m glad you’ve found happiness again and look forward to your travel blogs. All the best to you!!

Having just relocated from New York to Virginia this summer I was unaware of your departure from WNBC. I have been missing the entire morning crew because in my opinion no other city has a morning team whose delivery is as professional and polished as the NY team. What politics are at work here I cannot guess, I have been a huge fan of yours since before the days you subbed on the Today Show. Your elegant, slightly sarcastic reporting was perfect for NY and if the other parts of the country or other regulars couldn’t handle it that reflects their pettiness. My best wishes to you for success and happiness in whatever you chose to pursue next!

We must have crossed paths in Shop Rite or at Vinnys or maybe Walgreens. Keep your head up and keep an eye out for good things ahead!

Thanks for posting Chris. Look forward to hearing about your travels and next chapters. all the best!!

I wish you well in whatever and wherever your road may lead. Hope to meet you someday so we can exchange our trails and tribulations as met fans. God bless and be well. You will always be my favorite weatherman.

Man, how I miss you in the mornings! I watched from 4 AM to 6AM which was time to leave for work. I so looked forward to your weather forecast for then I knew what I was going to wear that day! Though I still watch because of Darlene and Michael, I now listed to 1010Wins for the weather! I wish you only the best and I thank YOU for all the years of providing us with your wit, charm and yes, the weather!

But life DOES go on! Monday I start retirement (that shows MY age!!!!) so sooner or later change comes to us all one way or another. Sometimes we choose the changes that come, sometimes we don’t. Alot of the time we don’t even have the option! But I think social media sometimes is a big help. Wishing you luck in everything and enjoy seeing what you are up to!
Always wishing you the best!

I had no idea, and was down about it and could not watch Early Today in New York for several days and it was a hard adjustment to a new weather person. I didn’t think I would ever adjust.
Many nights I stayed up all night to watch you, Darlene, Mike and Lauren, my favorite TV news/weather/traffic crew on TV. You all should have won for best morning show every year.
I was thrilled when you got your dachshund (great dogs). And very sad about the loss of your wife, Nancy.
But it seems as if you restarted your life, which is very good to read about. And the photos are fantastic!
I’m so glad you explained what happened with the job loss, as I couldn’t figure out why my favorite weather person was leaving. I do think it was horribly unfair, as you were excellent at the job, friendly and witty at 5 a.m. every day. And you, Darlene and Mike were quite a hilarious and warm team together.
Anyway, now that I see you have a blog, Facebook, and other social media platforms, I”ll follow
your adventures. Hope your travels and new experiences are good and enhance your life.
And hope you find a new job that you enjoy. You deserve it and more.
Best wishes in the times ahead.

Yeah, I tell my wife that you, Darlene, Michael, Lauren, and whoever else are my morning crew, and she says I’m nuts…but, whatever. Love the blog. Sorry about the Mets, but sorrier about the Cubs (my team, since like, uh, 196x). Best of luck. And great hair…don’t mess….

Thanks for everything. Look for you down the road.

You were such a ray of sunshine in the morning the only reason I watched was b/c of you. You got a raw deal its not about loyalty anymore, how sad this is . My sisters were both let go from a job they had one was there 33 years the other probably around 20. You reach to a certain age and you are put out to pasture so it seems.
Hopefully, you will be on tv again soon.

We have been watching you for years and we will stick with you. It was a pleasure everyday you were so real and sincere and we enjoyed all the years. I have lost both my mom and dad this year and of course everyone has lost a job we have no choice but to move forward. Stay positive and know we are in your corner. I believe WNBC made a big mistake but as they say something better will be in your future. Love the blog and looking forward to a podcast, or maybe a radio show or maybe you can turn the travel channel around i think it needs help all i see are ghost stories on there now lol.

I was on vacation on your last day and had no clue I was never going to see you again on television. I had been watching you for years and I can’t tell you how much I miss you every morning. It will never be the same without you. You are such a classy guy and I am so happy you that you have a blog where we can still follow you and read all about your journey. You are like part of the family. Please don’t stop sharing it’s great to go along the ride with you. 😊

For weeks, I couldn’t watch the show. And now I just tune in for a few minutes for the headlines and tune out. It really is not the same without you Chris. I would love to see you back on TV in the morning but whatever you do, I will follow! There is a special quality about you that draws people toward you in such a positive way. I’m excited for you on your journey, especially since you have been including your loyal fans along the way. You got this!

I’m still trying to adjust to you not being there. I’m glad you have gotten such a great response to the blog & that you now know how much you have meant to so many people. We are all looking forward to following you along your next adventures. Thank you for all the great work & humor on NBC & for giving us this great gift of still being a part of our lives!

When I read your blog on the on-air issue in April, I understood. It happens.

I always relied on your forecast to tell me what to expect as I walked out my door. I don’t walk out that door early since I retired two years ago, but I was always glad to know that you were there if I needed it….

For now, enjoy the magic and keep sharing….❤️

Never felt connected to anyone on tv. You truly brightened up my morning for many many years while I was getting ready to go to work and you are truly missed!!!!!!!! Be happy and continue sharing your thoughts and trips and life!!!!!! I look forward to it!!
