John Choquette

John is currently a junior at Western Connecticut State University majoring in Operational Meteorology. He is also a Meteorologist for the Weather Center at WCSU, providing forecasts for local newspapers across the state. John grew up in Rocky Hill and has been fascinated by weather ever since the winter of 95-96 when multiple storms gave Connecticut the highest yearly snowfall to date. Ever since then John has loved weather and knew that it was what he wanted to do when he grew up. John is currently expected to graduate in May 2013 and plans on either going to grad school for his Master's Degree or becoming an on-air Meteorologist.
