Kit Marie and Katie Nickolaou bond over hot chocolate, geeking out about meteorology, particularly of the Great Lakes, sci-fi fandom, voice acting and do a bit of improv for you all!

Katie is an AMS Certified Meteorologist at WLNS in Lansing, Michigan. When she was 5, Katie was in a tornado, which launched her lifelong love of weather. Beyond meteorology, Katie is a massive geek. From Star Trek and Doctor Who to Good Omens and DuckTales, Katie loves so many random fandoms. She combines her love of weather and tv/movies by creating Fandom Forecasts, videos where she gives the weather forecast for fictional worlds.
