An Iowa TV sports reporter had to cover a blizzard and looked completely miserable doing it

“Can I go back to my regular job?”

With a massive, arctic cold front sweeping across the country, this is no time to be outside if you can help it.

Unfortunately for this Iowa TV sports reporter, duty called in the worst way possible. As inclement weather and frigid temperatures are engulfing a large portion of the United States — and impact betting lines for the NFL — KWWL-TV sports reporter Mark Woodley was called upon to fill in as an on-sight weather man in the midst of a blizzard.

Thankfully, Woodley survived his freezing, snowy ordeal covering the brutal weather in the late evening and early morning hours near Waterloo, Iowa. That being said, he sure didn’t look happy about it!

Talk about going above and beyond for your job! Woodley’s snark even well into a long night of reporting is hilarious too. Hopefully now Woodley is taking a well-deserved day off cuddled under as many blankets as possible.

Chicago weatherman adorably loses it on-air after realizing his TV is a touch screen

“I can do that? No way!”

Touch screens are pretty much everywhere nowadays. From your phone and tablet to even your computer, the tactile technology is part of our daily lives at this point.

And yet, ABC 7 Chicago weatherman and meteorologist Greg Dutra was adorably gobsmacked when coming face to face (hand to screen?) with this technology. On-air during Thursday morning’s weather report, Dutra moved his hand across his screen when the image suddenly shifted due to the touch screen.

Dutra and his coworkers Terrell Brown and Val Warner then immediately stopped in the middle of the weather report to mess around with the TV screen in the most wholesome moment captured on live television.

The power of technology, baby!
