We are saddened to hear about the loss this week of Mish Michaels, the former local meteorologist who died at the age of 53, according to a family statement. Michaels’ cause of death has not been announced.
Her colleagues and friends in the news industry have published tributes,
We met Mish as she as a Wellesley resident shared her efforts with Hunnewell Elementary School to promote a critter named Mrs. G as the state’s official groundhog back in 2014. Madame G has become our local version of Punxsutawney Phil, making the big call on Groundhog Day every year since. Michaels, who signed her emails to us at the time, “Ms. G the Campaign Manager,” published a children’s book called Madame G’s Shadowy Road to Fame.
Michaels also shared her love for the weather and the seasons locally by speaking at Dana Hall School and elsewhere. And when we did not quite figure out how many inches of snow had fallen in Wellesley, we hit the mish.
We share our condolences to Mish’s family and friends.
