When did "your" weather forecast start??

[Jonathan Lighter]

The old gray memory banks ain't what they used to be, but they can't
remember a time when that *wasn't* the phrase.

I'll guess 1970 at the latest, but it could have been 15 years earlier.

Or I could be wrong.

BTW, I can clearly remember Tex Antoine on NBC-TV with his easel and "Uncle
Weatherbee" in the mid '50s,
