Sam Ryan
Meteorologist
Sam’s love of weather began when he was 12 years old during a severe weather outbreak at his family’s cabin in northern Minnesota. Back then, many years before cell phones, the only tool of information was the battery-powered radio. He remembers that day the whole family was so afraid, unsure if during this outbreak the cabin would be hit by a tornado? He recalls sitting inside the cabin at the table, with a map, listening for storm reports; and then pinning the location of each report in an attempt to track the storms–something nowadays every radar app can easily do. Thankfully the cabin was spared that day. However, according to Sam, there were many tornadoes reported nearby, and he did see a large funnel form and lower off a wall cloud just across the lake. He explains it was his first time seeing anything like it and that it was both majestic in beauty and yet horrifying in power. Sam said the fear from that experience was like the match that lit this flaming desire to know more about the weather and eventually serve others the best he could as a meteorologist.
In addition to his love of weather Sam also enjoys sports and played collegiate basketball during his first two years at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. He then finished his degree in biochemistry from the University of Minnesota and a certificate in Meteorology from the Graduate School. He then later obtained the National Weather Association Seal of Approval and has been working as a broadcast Meteorologist for over 15 years. When he is not working, he is usually spending time outdoors, off on some adventure with his beautiful wife, their son, and their two dogs.
Todd Nelson

Todd earned his meteorology degree from St. Cloud State University and moved to Duluth, MN to cover lake effect snow storms along the shores of the coldest and deepest of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior. Soon after, he became Chief Meteorologist at a start-up station in Duluth, KQDS FOX21 News. Here he successfully created and launched the weather brand for the station that was Emmy nominated for best newscast in the Upper Midwest for 2007 and 2008. During his time in Duluth, he could have been heard giving weather reports to various local radio stations, seen in the local newspaper with his daily weather column, and surfed on the web with his daily weather blog. Todd’s passion for weather is clearly displayed during his on-air reports.
