Comments on: Over 50 & Under-employed https://chrisciminoweather.com/over-50-under-employed/ A blog about a meteorologist, traveler, food & wine lover, Chris Cimino’s latest adventures Thu, 12 Sep 2019 02:32:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Debbi https://chrisciminoweather.com/over-50-under-employed/#comment-118 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 02:32:21 +0000 https://chrisciminoweather.com/?p=26#comment-118 In reply to Molly Lambert.

Been with you the entire time. Saw your last day and was so confused. You left graciously and with genuine affection from the team. But we knew not why. And still don’t. Your wit, very wry and dry, thank you very much..missed! The adage ‘everything happens for a reason’ has to apply here. Trust it. Run with it. Be free. Your unbearable losses are a part of you, and while awful, allow you the freedom to pursue life with completeness. Freedom. Nothing to lose at all. Go for it. All! With gusto and courage and an open heart. You’ve earned it. And we will continue to miss your cool charm and sly expressions with a capable weather delivery, every single day. Go for it, man! All the best!

As far as NBC goes, it was their (and our) loss. You were a critical part of the foursome on the show. Enjoyed your weather, humor, and professionalism. Sorry to see you go. Sounds like your life will pick up with these new choices – best of luck!

So far it has been a great read and looking forward to the rest. You are truly missed. A hole in our morning!

Thanks so much for your loyal viewership over the years. Not sure what’s next but I really appreciate you continuing to follow along on this next journey in which I hope to connect even better to the audience without the restrictions of regular TV

You were a part of my “morning family “ for over 20 years and the thought of not seeing you in the morning was hard. I will continue following you through your blog! Enjoy this new chapter of your life.

I thought you decided to retire early. Well, it’s their loss and your gain! I’m so happy for you and what is in store for you going forward. Keep blogging and I’ll keep reading. I followed you for many, many years on the news. You are truly missed!

I was forced out of my 40 year career in the Catholic Church at 62. It took me a couple of years to reinvent myself but it was the best move I ever made. More time with family and choosing to use my skills in other areas. I’ve also been able to reconnect with old friends and find some new ones (mostly playing PICKLEBALL lol)
Enjoy the second half of life!

I retired 4+ years ago. I highly recommend being the boss of your own life! I wish you the best. If you wish to continue your career, I hope you land. No matter what, best of luck!

The four of you were a great team and I loved starting my day with you. You guys felt like my friends (so appreciate the MTM recreation)! So sad you’re gone, but I’m glad you and your lady have time to travel and enjoy life. Be well and best of luck in your future endeavors!

(I love the whole morning local team.) Learning of your departure through the media grapevine left me very sad and clueless of the Five Ws. (Who, what, when, etc.). Then I found you on Instagram! Chris, I was soo excited I even called my ex-wife to tell hear, she loves you too, but was’nt as thrilled as I was. I guess she has her priorities. Anyway, I am soo glad you are doing well. Thank you for sharing about your life. That is never easy. Hope to see you on t.v. sometime soon, I hear Pat Sajak is looking to hang it up. Best wishes always and remember God loves all Met fans!

I’d been thinking you must be on vacation, but as the weeks rolled on, I thought to myself, “Oh, no, he hasn’t left the station, has he?!” only to figure it out online. Like so many of your fans in the NY market, I’ve watched you every morning since your first broadcast and can’t believe the incredible stupidity of WNBC-TV management in not recognizing how many viewers not only depend on your accurate weather reports, but also love your humor and style. You are missed dearly. No one can replace a superb talent like you. Wishing you great success and happiness in your next chapter!

You deserve happiness and peace. You were always a pleasure to watch. For me the question I have is why? Why didn’t they renew your contract? Couldn’t have been ratings. I have not watched since you left. I get my weather from Alexa and my news trolling Facebook. That’s s question I need answered; why?

I will miss your wit and charm. Your voice is clearly evident through your writing and I look forward to reading more. We are both DMB super fans!
Good luck with your next adventure.

Traffic is very sparse up there. Your boss really blew it. You guys had great chemistry and all so incredibly talented. Missing you and wishing you nothing but the best. Big blessings.

Shame on NBC! I have watched you for all of your 24 years on NBC and I pray all good things are heading your way! You were ALWAYS professional yet warm and sincere… I joined Instagram just to follow you! All Gods blessings for you and your children!

Thanks Sheila for the kind words and supportive ideas. I might just work on some or all of those things.

And ‘tho closing doors are rarely welcoming, I do believe that this closure is a huge opening for you.
You’ve got MANY quiet fans out here who are genuinely interested in your well-being and your new life.
Onwards and Upwards, Chris 🌟💫✨

It’s not the same without you. WNBC made the biggest mistake & will surely lose loyal viewers. Wishing you all the best and will follow you wherever you go.

You need no encouragement from me and I believe there are greater things ahead for you. Let’s start with a book, as you’re clearly a wonderful writer. I hope you have fun with your journey, and I look forward to reading your thoughts about food, wine and sports. I bet you can find work on the public speaking trail and giving talks on cruise ships. Hey, modeling and TV commercials, too. The sky’s the limit! I’m with you as you move forward.

You will be greatly missed. Hope you wind up on another local TV station.
God bless you & your family !

As mentioned above, you were part of my morning routine. You are sorely missed. Change is hard, so hard. The reality of aging is hard, so hard but the beauty of this stage is really knowing what’s important. Having some challenges and changes too. Come on over for a glass of Brunello one day. We would love that! Till next time!

I wish you nothing but happiness and look forward to watching you on social media.

I still miss you every morning. My husband thinks they’re turning the entire newscast female. 🤪 I’m just glad that you have the perspective to embrace a new road ahead, though I’m sorry that perspective was earned on such a difficult way.

I started my career in 1979 after graduating frim college and my first job was at 30 Rock as an NBC Page. After turning 60 in 2017 it was time for change. 2 zyears ago I said goodbye and to “the biz,” got all the appropriate licensing, purchased an SUV and started my own private car company and never looked back. My grandfather yeasr 6ago said “If you treat your vocation like a vacation you’ll never work a day in your life” Chris, Excelsior!
