Chris Shaffer
Chris Shaffer was raised in Stillwater, Minn. He left our great state
for four years to attend the University of Utah in Salt Lake City,
where he earned degrees in Meteorology and Mass Communications.
Chris
is a proud member of the American Meteorological Society and has been awarded the AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) designation. You may have seen him over the years doing the
weather on television at KMSP FOX9 and WFTC/UPN 29. You may have also
heard him on KOOL108, BOB100, 104.1 The Point, Cities 97, K102 or KTLK.
It is no wonder why Chris is so passionate about Minnesota
weather. His great uncle Wilbur was struck and killed by lightning
while farming in southern Minnesota in the summer of 1952.
His
family vehicle was once chased by a tornado near Maplewood, Minn. and
one December on the way to Grandma and Grandpa's house, his family
spent the night snowed in at a church in Winthrop, Minn., praying the
blizzard would let up so they could get to Redwood Falls and open their
presents the next morning.
Chris loves the weather because it is
always changing and is a constant challenge, much like raising his
three daughters, who are as loud as a thunderstorm, pretty as a sunset
and strong as a straight-line wind.
