After 45 years, the best TV Weather Anchor in the country retired yesterday.

Tom Skilling has put down the clicker at WGN in Chicago.

For over 4 decades, Skilling lived and breathed weather and it showed in the job he did. While he was the best, he never acted like it.

Skilling had no problem poking fun at himself and laughing at himself. He is a legend, but he always stayed humble.

Chicago is losing one of the best.
