Hero 'Pot Sasquatch' Interrupts Weather Report During Live Broadcast

A Springfield meteorologist literally became a dank meme when the "Pot Sasquatch" video bombed her news feed.

WWLP’s Jennifer Pagliei was one of the many meteorologists sent out to cover a storm blanketing Massachusetts, but the typical inclement weather story took an interesting turn when she was video bombed by an unlikely guest. Pagliei saw her live feed interrupted by someone who is being referred to as the “Pot Sasquatch,” and a traditional satellite feed about a blizzard quickly turned viral. It appears Pagliei’s co-workers were in on the appearance, as they told viewers they hoped the Sasquatch wouldn’t bother her before the live feed kicked in.

A flustered Pagliei briefly broke out into laughter, as the leafy Sasquatch strolled though a panning shot of the blizzard. She initially stumbled through the rest of her commentary before regaining composure and finishing the segment.

Hilarious weed-themed Sasquatch sightings aside, marijuana has been making headlines in New England since Massachusetts voters legalized the drug for recreational use on Nov. 8, 2016. This may at least partially explain the lax attitude taken by the person in charge of the WWLP Facebook account. 


While both Paglieiand her co-anchors didn’t directly refer to what literally became a dank meme as a pot Sasquatch, the WWLP feed did indeed confirm their urban legend was a tribute to weed.

Hopefully Sasquatch won’t make another appearance as we continue to track more winter weather. Tracking round 3 on 22News this AM

At least Pagliei took the whole incident in stride, as shown by her Twitter feed.
