Amateur weatherman and latest Youtube sensation Frankie MacDonald has warned Marylanders of the "massive blizzard headed for Maryland Jan. 22," stressing the importance of staying safe, warm and full.

The Canadian, from Sydney, Nova Scotia, first captured our attention Monday, when he very enthusiastically advised people of Washington, Maryland and areas of Virginia via Youtube video to gather together a long list of snowstorm essentials, including blankets, shovels and "lots of green tea," in preparation for this weekend's snowstorm.

"Make sure to order your pizzas and Chinese food, five cases of Pepsi and five cases of Coke," MacDonald advised, in addition to getting all grocery shopping done early.

“Don’t wait until the last minute. Do it right now!” he urged.

MacDonald's 3-minute, 39-second clip alone has garnered more than 200,000 views.

In a phone conversation with The Baltimore Sun, MacDonald said he has wanted to be a weatherman since he was a little boy and preps thoroughly before making his videos with a basic video camera or his iPod Touch.

"I study the weather models, rainfall, snowfall, wind mass, stuff like that," MacDonald said. "I also look at Weather.com and The Weather Channel."

Over the span of four years, the aspiring forecaster has posted dozens of global weather announcements on his Youtube Channel "dogsandwolves," providing caution to heatwaves in Australia, earthquake warnings in Indonesia and storm alerts in Texas.

His videos — with his distinct delivery — have been broadcasted on networks and comedy shows around the world, including the Comedy Central show "Tosh.0."

Most recently, the 31-year-old repeated much of his Maryland weather alert to listeners of Baltimore radio station 98 Rock on Tuesday.

"My family is very proud, and everyone in Nova Scotia is really proud," MacDonald said. The budding forecaster has autism, but said he won't allow that to be a focus in his goal to become famous.

"I got a lot of great feedback. I always ignore negative comments all the time. I got a lot of positive feedback because my videos have great enthusiasm," MacDonald said.

As it stands now, MacDonald's weather forecast for Maryland might not be so far off. Meteorologists are saying that more than a foot of snow is likely this weekend across the Baltimore region.
