First CD/DVD you ever bought?: First CD was Spice Girls "SPICE"... I think I was in 5th grade.; I think my first DVD was "Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy"
What made you choose weather/meteorology/broadcasting as a career?: I've loved weather ever since I was a kid. I started college as a science education major but realized quickly that teaching wasn't for me. I absolutely loved my meteorology classes, so I decided to change majors, and here I am today!
Favorite sports team? Music? Movie genre? TV Show?: All New England teams - Red Sox & Patriots; I love rock music - '80s hair metal and '90s grunge are my favorites.; Comedies - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE "The Office"... I own every season on DVD. My dad was actually a paper salesman growing up, and living in Pennsylvania, it's obvious why it's near and dear to my heart...
Right or left handed?: -Right handed
Last movie you watched/book you read?: I just watched "Beauty & The Beast" a couple nights ago, which is my favorite Disney movie!; I read all the time, but I actually just finished a book that I thought was absolutely hilarious called "All My Friends Are Dead" by Avery Monsen and Jory John
Any superstitions you believe/practice?: Michael Scott, from "The Office," says it best... "I'm not superstitious... I'm just a little stitious. "
Favorite/most addictive form of social media?: I love facebook. I'm on it all the time. Check out my fan page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Adrienne-Veilleux/142779045758959
Your current desktop picture?: I switch my desktop background a lot. Right now it's my baby girl, Lola. She's a 40lb red Siberian Husky. I love her to pieces!
Favorite Season?: Springtime rocks! The combination of severe weather and comfortable temperatures make it the perfect time of year... Oh, and my birthday is during meteorological spring!
PC or MAC?: PC for now, but I'm in the process of changing over...
One meal for the rest of your life – what would it be?: Without a doubt, I would eat spaghettios with meatballs everyday for the rest of my life. I eat them multiple times a week now... But, it has to be the normal-size can, not the jumbo one. The consistency is completely different...
Hobbies / Special Interests / If Golf, what's your Handicap?: I'm very crafty. I love cross-stitch and scrapbooking. Baking is also something I love to do in my spare time, and to counter all the junk that I end up eating from all the baking I do, I like to run.
Favorite meteorology course?: I loved my "Advanced Forecasting Practicum" course. My prof would give us multiple cities to forecast different aspects of the weather (ie: high temp, low temp, temp at a specific time, PoPs, dew point, wind direction/speed, chance of thunderstorm, etc.). I absolutely love forecasting, so it was no surprise why I loved the course so much.
