Weathercaster "Nor'EasterNick" Pittman tells his heartfelt story of learning to embrace the unpredictable and turn rainy days into opportunities.

A tumultuous childhood and intense fear of thunderstorms couldn't dampen Nick Pittman's zeal for weather. He first gained recognition in elementary school, winning CBS 3 Philadelphia's regional weather forecast competition. Soon after, "Nor'Easter Nick" was born, launching his career in meteorology.

He found he could quell his weather anxiety by teaching himself how to forecast approaching systems.

Now, as founder of Norcast Media--a 24/7 streaming weather channel--he reaches millions of viewers a month, educating the public so that their weather fears, too, might be allayed. Nick helps his followers learn to embrace the seemingly unpredictable by uncovering the order in the chaos.

In Rain Date, Nick shares the powerful lessons from his life in weather that have helped him navigate the stormier parts of life, including starting his own business when his career in broadcast meteorology hit a wall and returning to live with his mentally ill and abusive mother after his beloved grandmother, Bebe, who had raised him, succumbed to dementia.

Rain Date is a triumphant story of finding the light when the clouds roll in rather than becoming lost in their shadows, and a call to anyone fighting against the odds to chart their own course for sunnier days ahead.
