We certainly miss you when you're gone. It's just not the same with Steve.....sorry Steve!!! :) Hope you're enjoying your vacation though Ryan. The other day, even my husband said....where's the other young fellow gone, hope he's not gone for too long !! And for him to say something like that, well, you've made an impression I can tell you.

I had to go in on the Here and Now site to see if there was anything on it saying that you had left and am I ever glad I did. I found out you were just on holidays and not left for good. You are good on the show, the best I have seen with the weather and you seem so friendly. I like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Thank you again for making Newfoundland your home for now

Steve is good, Ryan, but you are missed. I'm from Toronto, so welcome!!! You are very good and I thought perhaps you had been whisked away! I do hope that happens one day. You are excellent at what you do andyou have a bright future.

Hi Ryan,
Glad to hear that you are taking some time off. We (my family and I) have missed you doing the weather and were concerned you had left. You're doing a great job, keep up the good work!

I am getting married on Tuesday, Dec 22nd. Tell me there won't be a storm!!!

Hi Ryan,
We really enjoy your weather reports and feel you are the best so far...however since you are now a Newfie...instead of saying "the bottom fell out" of a storm..more appropriate would be" the arse is out of 'er"......Cheers and welcome back!

Hi Ryan,

You are providing newfoundland & labrador with an awesome weather forecast, second to none. Didn't realize weather could be so exciting & fun since you came on board! But, since we have many friends & family in the rest of Canada, a brief weather picture across our great country on a regular basis would be great.

Thanks
