In Scranton, Pennsylvania, earlier this week, the weather forecast was cloudy with plenty of bears. The city's WNEP-TV station does its weather broadcasts live from an outdoor area it calls "the backyard," and four black bears walked onto the set seconds before weatherman Kurt Aaron began a live broadcast, reports the Times-Tribune. "I didn't realize how fast I could run for a 44-year-old guy," said Aaron, who sprinted inside when he spotted the bears and continued his broadcast from inside the station as the mother bear and three cubs explored the set.
