The Master at Work: Tracking a storm with Tom Skilling

As WGN celebrates 75 years on TV, we follow Tom Skilling and go behind the scenes as he tracks a winter storm moving into Chicagoland.

This was such an awesome thing to watch. I wish he was there tonight, but I think he’s home getting better. He is the hardest weatherman, I know.

Tom Skilling been there since 1978 . 2028 would be 50 years. Half a century would be a good number to retire at.. You can tell he loves his work.

All of the 75th archival footage is cool as heck, and Tom is no surprise. I've rarely seen such loyalty to one station from career start to present day as exists with many of you at WGN. Very nice to see, had I an option like yours I might've stuck with it longer. Cheers all!

Good footage you can tell Tom loves what he does.

I don't personally know the man... but I LOVE and adore the man. Tom is not just the man, he is THE man. No way does anybody else get six-seven minute weathercasts in the same way Tom does. I just love him. He is truly beloved and that's a HUGE understatement.
