Really enjoyed watching his final day broadcasting. I’m in my 50s and Tom has been a fixture since I was a teenager. Went to one of the tornado seminars at fermi lab a few years back. Really great to see all the familiar faces come out of retirement during the 9pm news to see him off. He won’t be forgotten. Thanks Tom! 🎉
The most decades for many years of the legendary weatherman in the Windy City of Chicago. Tom, you're the greatest chief meteorologist that an awesome worker with the WGN weather team. Congratulations and we'll miss you.
Love him. A little story here from this immigrant to the US. I grew up in England, and while we got quite a bit of meteorology in high school geography there -- including an entire quarter of it for A-level if you took geography that far -- weather-casting there tended to keep things very simple for the audience, too simple for me cause because it wasn't really enough information to use your own judgment with if you happened to know more. Coming over here for college in the late 1980s and discovering WGN and Tom Skilling was like a breath of fresh air -- it was like seeing what we'd learned in A-level geography play out in real time on nightly news.

You can't buy what Tom Skilling has, you earn it over decades.
