Ahh, weather presenters. Where would we be without them? Feckin’ soaking wet and freezing in nothing but a pair of shorts for the most part.
Joanna Donnelly is one such hero but last night she caused mass confusion with her RTÉ weather forecast sign-off:
I’m not poking fun just wondering why the Forecaster said goodnight Mary …is there a reason ? pic.twitter.com/TD6ob60Lot

“Good night, Mary? Wha?” were the words uttered on couches up and down the country.
“Good night, Mary”-unusual sign off for #rteweather who’s Mary? ???????? #onlyinireland #rte

Of course, there was a reasonable explanation as Joanna was merely paying tribute to American actress Mary Tyler Moore who passed away yeasterday.
After the broadcast, she took to Twitter to apparently clarify the situation:
RIP Mary Tyler Moore.

Ahhhhhhh. NOW we get it.
Lovely call out to Mary Tyler Moore on the RTÉ weather tonight.
