NBC Hartford’s Weather Icon: Bob Maxon
He puts the heart in Hartford.
In this episode, we talk to NBC Hartford’s beloved meteorologist, Bob Maxon, who is celebrating 30 incredible years on the air.
We talk about his snowy hometown of Oswego, NY, where his fascination with wild weather began, and how Cornell University shaped both his career and his lifelong friendships.
We also dive into his broadcasting career that’s seen it all — blizzards, hurricanes, and unforgettable community moments.
He's the voice Hartford wakes up to every morning, and over the past three decades, the local community has become like family to him. Steph even used to watch him every day when she lived there!
Enormous thanks to Bob’s sister, Mary Maxon Grainger, for introducing us to one of Connecticut’s most trusted and charismatic voices.
Prepare for a gusty mix of nostalgia, laughter, and inspiration — with a better-than-slight chance of lame puns!
