(CBC - image credit)After 33 years of forecasts, CBC Ottawa climatologist Ian Black is stepping away from the green screen. As a self-described weather geek, he has been excited by developments in technology that have made TV weather forecasting what he thought it could be today. He is the only forecaster in Ottawa endorsed by the Canadian Metrological and Oceanographic Society, and he was the first ever broadcaster to get that honour. Before becoming a weather man, Black was a substitute teacher in Ottawa, and claims to have taught at "just about every school in town," according to his CBC bio.
