I’ve shared this story before, but below is a clip where I discuss some of it including starting The MoCo Show when winter would end and people would tell me to “stick to snow” 😊 In 2009, when I was teaching my 8th grade health class, I would talk with my students at the end of class about the possibility of snow later in the week. The next day they would walk in and immediately ask if we were still expecting anything. I told them I would give them the latest update at the end of class, and before long it became a routine that ended with me unveiling a prediction on whether we might get a delay or closure. The following winter, the kids from the magnet middle school I taught at moved on to different high schools, but the questions kept coming. I started getting emails asking for my prediction. Rather than reply to dozens of messages, I created a small Google blog where I could post my forecasts. I called it MoCoSnow. Word spread to students, teachers, and parents at schools across the county. Even colleagues at my own school would tell me what they saw on MoCoSnow, not realizing I was the one running the site. A few years later, one of my students suggested putting MoCoSnow on Twitter. I remember thinking, “Why would anyone want to look at weather on Twitter?” but I gave it a try. Within a week, MoCoSnow had a thousand followers. I added Facebook and continued to build the website. It became a hub for winter weather information, my thoughts on upcoming storms, and my “pencil predictions” rating system, which made it more fun. When winter ended and I posted something local that wasn’t related to snow, people would jump in with “stick to snow!” comments. I realized I needed a separate place to talk about MoCo outside of weather. Around that time, a friend approached me about starting a podcast. That became the original version of The MoCo Show. It later evolved into local online news, information, and entertainment, and during the pandemic it expanded even more as a small team came together. The original version of The MoCo Show, where I talk about whatever I want, now lives on here through Mr. MoCo on Instagram and on my personal Facebook page.
