Gary Sadowsky was born, and grew up in, the Twin Cities of Minnesota, where the blizzards rage in the winter and tornadoes twirl in the summer.
His first degree was in Philosophy from the University of Minnesota.
After years as a bicycle shop manager, he decided to pursue his true professional passion - the weather! He attended Lyndon State College in Lyndonville and received his B.S. degree in Meteorology.
Gary started at WCAX in 1992 as the weekend weathercaster. In 1995, he moved to 11:00 PM weekdays. And when the Channel 3 Early Morning News was launched in 1997, Gary - a natural "nightowl," was chosen to begin everyone else's day with a smile and a forecast!
Gary holds the prestigious Certified Broadcast Meteorologist designation from the American Meteorological Society and the Seal of Approval for TV and Radio from the National Weather Association.
Gary enjoys spending time with his family and is an avid bicyclist and runner. He has ridden ten "centuries" (100-mile bike rides), run four complete marathons and countless half-marathons.
