Meteorologist Mish Michaels was inspired to study weather after a tornado ripped through her neighborhood when she was in kindergarten. Eventually, she went on to study Atmospheric Science at Cornell University. Her career as a forecaster, storm chaser, and environmental reporter spanned almost two decades in Boston where she worked for WHDH, WBZ and The Weather Channel. During this time, she earned a Master’s in Education from Harvard University, taught meteorology in the Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department at UMass Lowell, spent time teaching K-12 students about weather in hundreds of classrooms, and ran her own weather publishing company. Now Mish explores the skies and talks about weather with her eight year old daughter who attends Hunnewell Elementary School in Wellesley. Her schoolmates have spearheaded the campaign to make Ms. G Massachusetts’s official State Groundhog. Together Mish and her daughter have written the story of Ms. G, turning it into a children’s book so all can enjoy the weather adventures of this loveable groundhog. On February 3, 2014, just hours (4:50am) after Ms. G posted her annual forecast, Mish welcomed her second daughter into the world. She is now the newest member of the Ms. G campaign.
