Now that's a weatherman !

This dude is an artist! Look at how perfect he draws those fronts and isobars.

So much more informative than anything today.

I remember watching him every night, damn I had my own chalk board and yep, I did the same thing trying to be like Mr. Bowtie....lol, sad part was he could give you a weather forecast for the week and unlike today's weather people despite all they're fancy equipment they can't get morning to afternoon right yet Percy was spot on for the whole week. Please note temps were marked in Fahrenheit not Celsius. Lastly you know what he never missed catching the chalk in the end, miss you Percy RIP

Percy Saltzman was not only a part of the CBC's Golden Age of Television but a part of ever so many Canadian lives who today look back and with nostalgia and fond memories remember him.

Just wow 👌🏾 the ability to retain that much info and presentation was Top-notch!

THIS GUY'S INCREDIBLE - NO SMILEY FACES, JUST THE BARE BONES FACTS BUT WHAT AN ENTERTAINER!

Man he was so fun to watch! I made a big deal of seeing him when I was a kid on the train from downtown to Pierrefonds , he and I just gabbed about the weather and systems he just gave me the bug! When he gave me my very own chalk he made the whole car laugh he made such a presentation. Thanks for putting these vids on here

I remember him well. Miss the chalk toss.

Fantastic. I wish they brought weather to life like that today. With all the technology and algorithms doing much of the forecasting I don't think the individual meteorologists can internalize the systems as you could see Percy did. I want that kink of forecasting back.

Back then you really had to know your stuff!

I think I got it, but where does the wide receiver go?

Here in Vancouver, we had meteorologist Bob Fortune who also used the chalk board. I remember him drawing storms and describing the weather in his mellow voice. In those days, before satellite, Canada had a weather ship that spent most of it's time about 600 miles off Vancouver island observing the weather that was invariably going to be Vancouver's weather a couple of days later.

I used to enjoy his weather analysis every night.

In the U.S. our TV weather people always said every instance of cold or snow is coming "out of Canada." It is fitting that he shows things coming out of the U.S.

As an American, I completely understood this forecast without running the temps through Google!

😃😃Mr. Saltzman, a staple of my youth. He could (and did) write equally well with either hand. And, quite honestly, I found his dynamic presentations a heck of a lot more informative than what we have now. When he did violent little circles boy - was weather on the way! Bless your memory, sir. 😃😃

Did anybody notice how Florida looks different than a normal map today? Discussing genius by the way. Thanks for the upload.

He's remarkable. Much like our own Bill Matheson, they both knew their highs, lows and quasi stationary fronts like no other.

I wish there were more of his videos.
