Iowa TV Reporter Shares His Anger About Working In Snowstorm

An Iowa TV reporter recently voiced his frustrations about covering the snowstorm when he normally covers sports.

Mark Woodley complained about reporting in the cold the entire morning show on Thursday, which lasted for several hours.
Woodley said on air, “I normally do sports, uh, everything is canceled here for the next couple of days, so what better time to ask the sports guy to come in about five hours earlier than he would normally wake up and go stand out in the wind and the snow and the cold and tell other people not to do the same.”

He continued, “I feel like Clint got the better end of that deal. That thing’s heated. The outdoors currently is not heated.”
He added, “This is a really long show. Tune in for the next couple of hours to watch me progressively get crankier and crankier. I’ve got good news, and I’ve got bad news. The good news is that I can still feel my face. The bad news is I kind of wish I couldn’t.”

As he continued broadcasting, he became even more snarky and continued, “Can I go back to my regular job? I’m pretty sure, Ryan, that you guys added an extra hour to this show because somebody likes torturing me.”
