Not sure if this belongs here or in GQ, but here goes…

Back in the early 80s there was a weather girl on channel 5 (maybe it was 11?) in the NYC area that did the weather on the 10:00 news. I think her first name was Linda and her last name started with G. Can anyone come up with the name?

I just found it. I searched for this before but couldn’t find it and now I managed to. Go figure.

Linda Gialenella was her name.

Can a mod please close this?
