The coronavirus outbreak has not only upended our daily routines and created all sorts of social havoc, it has given us some previously unimaginable visuals.
Like a TV meteorologist delivering her report next to a dog. (It was actually kind of cute).
Yes, our friendly local weather reporters have been forced to practice social distancing and work from home. The result is some very offbeat TV imagery.
Over the years, we’ve grown accustomed to watching our meteorologists stand in front of massive maps — or in the middle of a howling Lake Tahoe blizzard — while they yammer on about cold fronts, jet streams and gale warnings.
But now they’re coming to us from a cozy corner of their cribs, in front of flower vases, bookcases, open doors, fireplaces, etc. etc.
The upside of all this? They’re not infecting anyone. … Also, they can make a fridge run when needed.
As for the viewers, well maybe we can learn a little more about these forecasters based on their taste in household decor.

My BF’s sweet dog CAIRO is the perfect, little weather helper! He made his TV debut on our @KPIXtv Morning Show.
