I started watching Cheryl on the Weather Channel in the early 90s. I always felt that she was a very classy, sophisticated, knowledgeable woman. I’m glad that she is now a chief meteorologist. Cheryl, you deserve everything you’ve earned.
Watching Cheryl has been a pleasure. Educational and Informative.
She is a classy attractive woman. She has stolen my husband’s heart…he loves watching her and checking out her attire.
I like watching Cheryl on WICS. She is very professional and yet pleasing to watch. My only disappointment after reading about her is that she’s married. I would love to have had the opportunity to have taken her to dinner. She is definitely a class act. Thanks for making the news always pleasant to watch.
