Who Is New Mystery Met At AccuWeather?

UPDATE: Thanks for all the guesses! We'll be announcing the answer Wednesday!

Yesterday, I shook hands with greatness. We are adding a very special mystery meteorologist who (if you're any sort of a weather enthusiast) you'll recognize when we unleash him/her on AccuWeather.com, , and AccuWeather.com Mobile later this week.

Be the first to guess who he/she is by leaving a Comment below, and I'll send you a free AccuMug and 3 Months of our AccuWeather.com Premium site!

Here are some clues...

1. Their first job was working for a TV station in eastern North Carolina, where he/she successfully forecast a rare snow storm.

2. They were taught in college by AccuWeather President Joel Myers, and were a "weather deputy" under the late Hurricane Expert John Hope.

3. They experienced Hurricane Donna at four years old.

Not Sure if went through, having computer problems. I think it is Mike Seidel who went to PSU at one point, and Salsbury.
