“Keep Your Eye On The Idaho High”

Quotes from Bill Matheson and the crazy world of Southern Alberta Weather

 Mark Campbell was born and raised in Lethbridge and watched Bill Matheson religiously when he “performed” his nightly weathercast on CJLH-TV

Mark would become a full-time weatherman at the very same station as his hero in 1992.  He was also thrilled to perform on stage with Bill at the grand opening of the new Grandstand at the Lethbridge Exhibition.  Mark spent 20 years doing TV weather and has seen everything from snow in August to the Flood of the Century in 1995. Mark is honoured to be a part of this celebration. Today.
