“I actually started out afraid of the weather,” said New York’s latest meteorologist Brittany Bell. “And me being afraid as a child, I would just watch The Weather Channel obsessively. And just I guess, watching it every single day, I kind of learned more about the weather. So that fear eventually turned to a passion. And I knew that it involved science. I was very interested in science and math. And I liked that science was something that was just hands-on and something that you could see, like right in front of your face because I’m a very hands-on type of person. So, it really started out as a fear but, through learning more about it, that fear turned into a passion,” said Bell.
