The Life and Times of Scot Haney - What a Ride!

The Colebrook Historical Society will host a “Friday Night Gathering” on September 5th from 7-9 PM.  All are most welcome to attend. The evening will begin at the home of the CHS with refreshments and conversation. Circa 7:30 PM the group will move next door to the Town Hall Meeting Room for a special presentation by noted WFSB meteorologist Scot Haney. In “The Life and Times of Scot Haney – What a Ride!” Scot will share his myriad experiences, both on air and off.

One of the highest profile on air personalities in Connecticut, Scot helps thousands of people wake up and start their day with a forecast tailored to their morning commute. He also brings his warmth and lightheartedness to the network’s “Better Connecticut” show. 

Scot earned his Bachelor’s Degree at St. John’s University and his Master’s Degree at Syracuse University. He is certified as a meteorologist by the American Meteorology Society. 

Scot’s first television job was in Topeka Kansas in 1993. Then he took several side trips to the world of advertising in New York and to Channel 12 in New Jersey and Westchester. He landed at Channel 3 in 1998.

Between his rigorous day job and his jampacked philanthropic calendar Scott is a busy man. He serves on the board of Rebuilding Together, a non-profit dedicated to rebuilding homes and revitalizing communities.  He’s received numerous accolades for his community support, including awards from My Sister’s Place, the American Red Cross and Connecticut Food Share. He’s also been inducted into the Connecticut Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame.

After his presentation Scot will take questions from the audience. Then the gathering will return to the CHS for more conversation and more refreshments.  The CHS is located at the intersection of Routes 183 and 182A in Colebrook Center.
