WLNS Jim Geyer

WLNS Jim Geyer Meteorologist, SKYWARN Spotter, Coaster Correspondent, Sports Fan, Scuba Diver. I’m back at WLNS after working for four years in the Flint/Saginaw TV market.

I was here previously from 1990 to 2004 and was part of the first news team to start a morning newscast on WLNS. I have over 30 years of experience forecasting weather in Michigan. I started in radio, providing weathercasts during the night for WJR-AM in Detroit for 13 years. The remainder of my work has been primarily in television. I am a licensed Ham Radio operator and will occasionally storm-c

hase and report severe weather as a SKYWARN Spotter. I’ve been married to my wife Jane for over 25 years. We love to travel and are both certified scuba divers. Some of our travels have taken us to the Aruba, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Saba, St. Lucia, The Bahamas, Mexico, Hawaii and Tahiti, just to name a few places. We are also avid roller coaster enthusiasts and always make it a point to visit Cedar Point at least once a year. We have a dog, Stormy, who is our third cocker spaniel that we’ve adopted. We are also volunteers with Habitat for Humanity.

My garden is just about finished, except for the potatoes, eggplant and the Japanese beetles 🪲 that just won't quit.
If you have a good garden, I'd like to stop by and see your garden this year. Just let me on my Facebook or on wlns.com .

If you're going to Frankenmuth this weekend, a couple of large snow sculptures are being done by two groups anyway, along with the others which a little smaller, and there are more ice sculptures in the area than normal.

Zehnder's Snowfest in Frankenmuth starts today with "All Things Chocolate" and with three different - brownies, cakes, and cookies. I'll be judging all three today; nothing new with me. Wish me luck.

We're starting the day with temperatures in the forties and some sunshine. And sunshine on my shoulder always makes me happy. 🙂

Summer is wrapping up, and that means so is Geyer's Garden! But, for just the last few weeks, we're going to try something a little different.

We want to see YOUR beautiful garden! So if you want to show off your hard work before the summer ends (just two more weeks), comment below, and you just might be on TV 📺🖥🎥

By the way, it doesn't have to be a vegetable garden. A flower garden is fine, too. 🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼

I'm quite a bit behind showing the roller coaster vacation early this month. So, here I go with amusement park number 4. After leaving Holiday World on Monday, we went Tuesday to Kentucky Kingdom and Hurricane Bay in Louisville. As is always the case, Jane and I went right to the roller coasters. My favorite one is Storm Chaser and it was the first coaster in America to feature a barrel roll drop from a 10-story lift hill. Kentucky Flyer is a non-stop, up-and-down 12 airtime fun. Thunder Run is smoother now since our last time there, thanks to a refurbishment costing nearly 1 million dollars. Other rides are Lightning Run with a 100-foot, 80-degree drop and T3, a suspended looping coaster. Last year, Kentucky Kingdom was sold to Herschend Family Entertainment, the owner of Silver Dollar City in Missouri and Dollywood in Tennessee. It will be interesting to see how it will change with more money.

My third roller coaster quest is in southern Indiana. Holiday World & Splashin' Safari is near the town of Santa Claus, IN. Here's something that's unbelievable: the parking is free, soft drinks are free, sunscreen and hand sanitizers are free to use, and WiFi is free. And here is one called Worry-Free Weather Guarantee. If the rides are down for a "total" of 90 minutes, you can redeem the current ticket for another day. Guess who gets another day of fun? 🤔
Before a downpour moved in, my wife and I were able to ride all the great roller coasters: The Legend, The Raven, The Voyage and Thunderbird, all of which at one time were in the top 10 roller coasters. If you ever get to southern Indiana, I would heartily recommend going to Holiday World.
