I'm sure many Hudson Valley residents wonder if Noll will continue to update residents about the local weather. Something, Noll has done since moving to New Zealand.

I'll be honest, anytime there is a major storm forecast for the region, I check out Noll's forecast.

So I'm happy he says he plans to continue his Hudson Valley weather reports.
