Saw him last nights. Sorry, but he'll never be as cool as Marty Engstrom, who, if you're too young, for many years gave weather reports on WMTW from the top of Mount Washington, with a Maine accent that would put Tim Sample to shame, except Marty's was genuine. He always concluded with his famous gap-toothed grin.

He's got several clips on YouTube, including his last broadcast. A true Maine treasure.

I had to post this. Marty's final broadcast. It's only a minute long, but it's pure Marty.
