## Resource

The Weekly Weather Brief podcast kicks off with meteorologists Kerrin Jeromin and Emily Gracey discussing the impact of a major winter storm and the mental load it brings. They emphasize the importance of local weather information and the need to focus on impacts rather than just numbers. The conversation also touches on the stress of missing events due to weather, the significance of the first sunrise in the Arctic after months of darkness, and the launch of the podcast.
