We have touched on it briefly, here and on the air. A caller brought it up on Talkback 16, so it's time for a quick refresher.
When I am doing a string of live reports during snow storms, I change baseball caps between hits. It's not to be a clown. It's not to make a fashion statement. It's all rather simple.
It doesn't take much to soak a baseball cap during a snow storm. I'll put on a different one while the last one I wore dries in the truck. Carrying multiples guarantees a warm and dry cap. It's simple.
The station supplies most of my caps. Others come from other sources, like network web sites and even E Bay.
Hurricane season is coming, so the caps will get a work out. I hope to have retired the snow boots for the season.
Stay dry!
