In addition to being the best player in the game today, Angels outfielder Mike Trout is really into the weather. Actually, that might be an understatement. You probably know this already if you follow his Twitter account. Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Passan did a great piece on his fascination with meteorology last year, during which Trout floated the possibility of joining the Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore if there was a big snowstorm in his hometown of Millville, New Jersey this winter. Well, he finally got his chance this morning with Winter Storm Jonas wreaking havoc on the East Coast.
He's as good at reporting weather as he is with baseball. Thanks for reporting for us Trouty! @MikeTrout https://t.co/UgyzFAC5CE

You can watch the video over at Deadspin, but here’s part of Trout’s on-scene report:
Trout also tweeted a video to Cantore last night as he was driving through the snow.

Not bad for a first report from the “Millville Meteorologist.” Trout is still just 24 years old and doing quite well for himself on the baseball side of things, but a future career awaits.
