I interned with @wsbradio in 1988 and would always get excited when I saw Karen and two other anchors “meeting” in that big ladies room 😂. Congratulations @katenmintonwsb on your next season in life! https://t.co/kd114AUCwo

Watching @wsbtv for @KarenMintonWSB s last day. Many memories of being informed by #KarenMinton over her 33 year career as a meteorologist in Atlanta. Her grace under pressure during broadcasting scary, chaotic and dangerous weather here will be missed. #Blizzard93
