Frankie MacDonald (born April 24, 1984) is a Canadian amateur meteorologist from the Whitney Pier area of Sydney, Nova Scotia. MacDonald, who has autism, is known for his boisterous online weather forecasts. Frankie records meteorologist reports then he posts the videos to his YouTube channel (dogsandwolves), where they have received more than 32 million views. He also maintains a Twitter account and blog. Weather reports MacDonald has produced include warnings for his home province of Nova Scotia, a snowstorm in Winnipeg, heavy rainfall in Vancouver, a storm in Minnesota, New York, Australia, and Bermuda during Hurricane Gonzalo of 2014.
As a child, MacDonald wanted to be a weather forecaster. He made his first scenery video on December 27, 2007. On December 16, 2009, he made his first YouTube video. MacDonald gained recognition in Canada for his posts to the Weather Network’s website.
The videos have received both positive (including people thanking him for weather warnings) and negative feedback on YouTube; MacDonald tries to “ignore” the latter, insisting they are “rude and disrespectful.” The hosts of The Roz & Mocha Show on Toronto’s Kiss 92.5 have been accused of being disrespectful when interviewing MacDonald, but they deny this, claiming they are fans of MacDonald. In 2013, false rumours of his death circulated online.
On January 30, 2015, the Halifax daily newspaper The Chronicle Herald published an editorial cartoon by their staff cartoonist Bruce MacKinnon, which featured Frankie MacDonald giving a forecast of the “Massive Boondoggle” of the overbudget reconstruction of the schooner Bluenose II.
MacDonald was included in CBC News’s “Top 10 Newsmaking Stories of 2013 in Nova Scotia.” Additionally, MacDonald was awarded the Vital Cape Breton Excellence Award which honours Cape Breton islanders who have made significant contributions in the community. He was also recognized for his work by Member of Parliament Mark Eyking in the House of Commons on February 4 2015 during the Statements by Members session. MacDonald has had his likeness made into a bobblehead and had his “be prepared” catchphrase featured on clothing.
In February 2017, MacDonald received a silver YouTube Play Button to commemorate the achievement of 100,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel.
