Great question! Even though long range prediction is improving - I'm the most confident in my forecasts up to around 72 hours out (~3 days). When it comes to a longer range then I trust trends that I am seeing - say a colder or warmer air mass will move in or a stormy pattern (potential for heavy snow/rain) but pinpointing the exact timing and precip. of a storm that far out is still a challenge.

As to the reunion...there will be an Are You Afraid of the Dark movie coming out next Halloween but haven't been approached by the filmmakers yet. I've had some other people approach me about trying to get the original cast together again but nothing concrete. I guess it will depend on how much the fans want Gary and the campfire kids? (Adults!) back...

1. I have actually had a chance to do some acting here and there - it all depends on my Global schedule but I was able to do a role as a Galactic News Network anchor on Dark Matter (which was created by two of the writers from Student Bodies Joseph Malozzi and Paul Mullie). Yes, still open to it for sure but my main focus is meteorology.
2. Yes, especially in the middle of a snow storm - sounds flaky I know but I love it ;)
3. I'm always surprised that people still recognize me from AYAOTD - it was such a long time ago but at the same time I sort of take it as a compliment that I'm still recognizable this many years later!

That's a tough question - I would have to say Student Bodies. Don't get me wrong Are You Afraid of the Dark was an amazing experience and I'm very proud of that show and its legacy (I owe a lot to one of the creators of that show DJ MacHale). But I feel like by the time I got to Student Bodies I was older (~21) and better able to enjoy the experience. My character was also in each entire episode so as an actor there was a little more to work with.

I love this question and I know this often confuses people and can seem counter-intuitive. I think it also comes down to how we look at weather systems - in North America we often look upstream (to the west) as our weather systems often move from west to east. So in my mind, when one describes a westerly wind (moving from west to east as you know) there's a quality to that air that you can automatically attribute something too. Same deal with a southerly wind - we know (it can often mean) warmer weather because of its origin. That's how I wrap my head around it. And yes, we do sometimes make bets on who will get the forecast right...I often win ;)
