Former BC weather person Dagmar Midcap lands a new job in San Diego

Former CBS Atlanta weather forecaster Dagmar Midcap left Atlanta more than a year ago, distraught over a former boyfriend’s suicide.

The Vancouver native moved to Los Angeles, hired an agent and began seeking jobs. A couple months ago, in an interview, she said she’d prefer to do something outside of TV news but was willing to go back if need be.

Alas, that’s where she has landed: the NBC affiliate in San Diego.

She covered 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11 p.m. newscasts starting today.

“They’re so nice here, some of the friendliest people I’ve ever seen,” Midcap said in an interview this evening. “There’s a sense of family. They’re really easy going.”

CBS Atlanta, in comparison, was “a very tense, miserable environment,” she said. She spent three years at the station and gained a following with her warm, syrupy voice and sweater choices.

With her new job in the pleasant climes of San Diego, Midcap found a place to live three blocks from the water in Del Mar. “It’s a magical place,” she said. “I love the water. I love the ocean.”

“It’s really exciting to have Dagmar Midcap join our team and to have a local weather presence again, “said Greg Dawson, Vice President for News for NBC 7 San Diego, in a story posted on the NBC website. “Dagmar was extremely popular in Atlanta and we’re sure she will make an immediate and positive impact here in San Diego.”

MIdcap said they’ll allow her down the road to do environmental stories and pieces from the San Diego Zoo. They will also allow her to host TV shows as well if those opportunities arise. “It’s written into my contract,” she said.

Gee, I remember when she was on BCTV and had that spastic outburst at a kid at the PNE saying "you're going to f**k it up" and anchor Suzette Meyers saying under her breath "oh, my god". But kudos to Daggie for keeping her composure and finishing off the weathercast, which she probably knew was her last one at BCTV.

Too bad the folks down south didn't know about her (on air) temper tantrum.

Oh I got some SPLAININ TO DO!

2009-08-19T09:32:00.000-07:00

Atlanta's VARSITY for a Grease Job? I just looked and my LDL jumped 30 points.
Lets see, I was headed south to ATLANTA....Richmond was.....well I just kept going...they have bad Highway designs...lots of blind spots and places where you can get into a spot but not out of a spot....or into a situation , but not out of a situation without losing some skin as the President would say.

They Developed the Freaking BUCKHEAD out of existince, I used to love going there and hanging with Charlie Minor and REM , Eddie Money and I shared a limo one night, but that was 24 years ago when Hotlanta had soul, here's your Buckhead Now! STEEL & GLASS up your ---!

I stayed out in Marrietta , where I met a former Detroit auto worker in her 40's and her parts were still in good condition...we enjoyed lunch and the 38 special band tribute until the train & rain came down.

New York City Drivers are THE WORST! I spent ? HOURS on the George Washington Bridge and the holiday traffic was bad but New Yorkers will cross 4 lanes of traffic sideways to get from the EZ-PASS to the CASH only lane & vise-versa....if you have a nice car, your dead meat...they figure you wont risk a fender bender......There's one Lucky guy in a Fourunner that missed me by less than an inch!

Barista "would you like room for your cottonmouth"?

Wish I had my camera for great Eye-opener at the Lakeway Starbucks......I was on the Patio chatting with another road trip couple.....and see A Mockingbird going Bonkers on a slithering snake! it would have been great APL amazing videos.....but The Barista informed It was a cotton mouth that was getting harrased by the Momma Mockingbird, I guess it wandered to close to the nest, I am told Mockingbirds will attack any creature no matter how big or poisonous they are! The bird was rather proud of her feat....that snake ran for the hill!(cottonmouths are deadly) leave em alone, or don't go home!
