The sun never felt so good in November! Christmas is just over a month away and I’m still in flip-flops and shorts – gotta love SoCal 
Out-of-town pals came to visit me and the pets this weekend. I’ll take any excuse to frolic in the surf & sand.
You look fabulous, Dagmar. Looks like you got some sun on your face from that Southern California sunshine. Thanks for the update.
Love the Hat Dagmar! We’re expecting snow in NW BC this week…
Hope all is well
John
Dagmar,
I’m glad you’re happier on the west coast, but watching the news these days, it’s not the same without you! We miss you!!!
Miss you in Atlanta
I’m wearing flip flops & shorts in Gainesville, Georgia. I’m just freezing! We miss you. I hope things are going well.
so very happy to see your smile again. glad you are enjoying the coast
Nice photos, hope you are having a great time!
You are looking great. back in Georgia it is raining and a high forcast of 57. We miss seeing you on the weather because no matter what the forecast was, it was always sunny and warm when you presented it.
I am in ATL in shorts and a t-shirt. It is all a state of mind.
Pets never behave for the camera, do they?
Great to see you looking great and doing well. I just moved back to Atlanta from SoCal and miss it like crazy – especially lunch at Laguna Beach. Hope your holidays are especially joyful this year.
Cool rainy N. GA morning. You and the beach look great.
Your smile is back and from within, was at Elevations and remembered when. I hope to say hi when I get to the west coast.
Nice profile photo. Doing any fishing?
-Katz
After reading your caption, I automatically realized you weren’t in Toronto. I guess you could be in flip-flops and shorts here, but they clash with long underwear.
Looking good.
thank GOD you are hiding the toes
Dagmar , is that a pimple I see ? Just kidding !
Hello D! Thank you for the updates. I hope you are as happy as you seem. All my best wishes for YOU! Always a friend, Shawn….
What a honey-pup! That boy has a very expressive face…hope you have a liberal treat policy!
Dagmar, I’m not sure I can view your pictures anymore. You keep causing my computer to overheat.:) Without you, that would just be a beach. With you, it looks like paradise. I love the dog, too. Looks like Duke from The Beverly Hillbillies.
Ms. Midcap, do you have any job opportunity that Teresa and I can pray for you about?
Chris Holcomb said hello.
God Bless You!
D,
Do you have an Agent? Please provide contact information so I can forward to some friends in LA. DJ
It is so frustratingly lonely to know you exist… the way you walk and talk… the way you think… the words you choose to say… and the way you are with others… and to know that I have no way of getting to know you better… In the words of Charlie Brown, “Auuuuugggh!!”
what’s wrong ? you deleted my comments about haircolor and chew.
just picking on you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dagmar,
We miss you so very much in Atlanta. I love your pictures and hope you are healthy and happy!
Dagmar! Have a blessed holidays to you and your family peace.
Atlanta really misses you. Awesome to see your doing well! The world is yours Dagmar!
Just remember Dagmar… because this is most important. IT’S NOT TOO LATE. I BELIEVE IN YOU. You can do anything that you want. You can be in love again. You can have a life again.
Just wondering… Have you ever taken your doggies for a ride on one of your bikes… you know like in a sidecar or some sort of attachment? Just thought it might be fun for ‘em. Have you been riding at all after moving out west? Drop me a line and let me know how you’re doing. I’d really like to hear some details about what you have in mind for your next adventure. I can imagine that right now you just want to relax and do nothing. That’s fine. I can’t blame you for that. If you feel like it, tell me some stuff about your family and what they’re like… and what your holiday plans are coming up. I just want to hear some stuff about things that matter to you is all. It makes my day hearing from you.
Dagmar…funny how I never really know what the forecast is gonna be like for the Atlanta area anymore. lol. I miss seeing you every morning- love your voice!
beautiful dog!
Dagmar,
You are missed in Atlanta. I truly with you the happines and freedom from worry and grief. God watches out for us even when we are not so sure.
God bless and please be safe,
Rick
It is clucking fold here in Atlanta. I think it’s in the twenties as I post this. Nothing that a log in the fire and a glass of Henny won’t cure. Enjoy SoCal and may you find the path that you seek. You sure are missed around here.
P.S.
The picture of you in what looks like a lighthouse, where is that?
You are missed in Atlanta.
I had contacted you a number of times to see if you could help us publicize blood drives. You explained that you don’t control the stories you can cover and passed my info to Steve Schwaid and he did cover a story when we delivered hundreds of stuffed “Beau the Bloodhound” (our mascot) to children undergoing treatment (mostly cancer) at local hospitals.
I had contacted Steve after you announced your departure. I had wanted to do a special blood drive in YOUR honor which would serve two purposes…HONORING YOU, of course but also generating more interest in blood donation in Atlanta. We are a non-profit and depend on the generosity of the media to “get the word out”. Steve recently posted a story with pictures on the CBS Atlanta website when the Dunwoody Police Department won a “blood donor challenge” against Sandy Springs.
I really wish you were still here. I’m looking forward to finding out when you next hit the airwaves…maybe I can watch via Internet.
My best to you…you are in my prayers.
Michael
Merry Christmas Dagmar!
…….
Lord, I feel so close to You
As I sit beside this stream
Your glorious works amaze me
I can almost hear You it seems
Your voice cries out from here
“I created all of this for you”
The sound of water rushing by
Is evidence of all You do
Your majestic splendor shows
In places such as this
How mighty are Your works
That so many people miss
Thank You for this moment
Where I can reflect on You
Thank You for the rushing stream
My quiet place for retreating to
-Lucy A. Cain
Dagmar, it’s great to see your Tweets again, and the beautiful photo of the rainbow over the Hollywood sign was terrific. Hope all’s well. Sounds like you and the dogs are settled now. Atlanta’s loss is L.A.’s gain. Take it easy. Stay cool, lady.
Bless your heart! I miss you already here in Atlanta. If I hit the lotto I would like to start up a animal (Dogs & Cats) farm and have you run it. Good luck in LA.
Chuck
Hey Dagmar. Atlanta resident here, just thought I’d look you up online for the heck of it. I’m glad to see you’re happy out west. I liked you on TV here, but it’s an absence easily accepted if it means you have a better life in SoCal.
All the best,
R.
Oh, Dagmar…we miss you SO MUCH in Atlanta. No one cares what our weather is here now, without you to energize it for us. Things just aren’t as good with you gone. Haven’t you had enough California sunshine and can you come back now…please??? Miss you, girl.
We miss you in Atlanta, Dagmar! I would give anything to be in Southern California myself right now because we’re expecting snow and ice within the next 48 hours. I hope your holidays were great and that you’re happy and healthy in your new location!
I agree the weather is not the same without seeing ur lovely face everyday ! Sure do miss u in the ATL ! Take care and Best Wishes !
The Beach looks great, love you dog ,looks very kind. You may be in LA but I could tell in a minute you are a Western Canadian Girl, they have an attraction all of their own. I met you years ago at the International Auto Show in Toronto. I asked if you would sit on the V-Rod Harley with me for a photo. You replied ,”yes but I get to sit up front”……….very cool girl, beautiful as always. All the best to you .
Tweet At its core, it can be argued that Hollywood is a city built on ego and vanity. Agents intoxicate self-important minds with visions of fame and grandeur while managers soothe inflamed psyches. It’s the norm rather than the exception in Tinsletown so staying firmly grounded in reality can be a task. No matter where...

Nice paws,
Sexy Toes Dagmar! =)
Thats grounded sheet sounds interesting….I wonder if that have that available here in Canada?
Miss you in Atlanta! Watching weather isn’t the same.
you are actually talking about what the native american indian already know about mother earth. enjoy all you can of her
I was hoping you’d end up in L.A. You’re just too talented to be anywhere else. Sure, it’s a sequined cesspool, but to paraphrase J.J. Hunsecker: “I love that dirty town.”
Wow, I know so little about these thing’s. I’ll try that. What a beautiful photo. That dog is so happy. Thanks for posting the info. You are missed around here.
I like the sound of those sheets, I suffer from insomnia also. I sometime don’t sleep for 50 hours, and when I try to sleep I don’t feel right. I will have to try them out. Hope you are having fun girl, hope I get to see you again.
How come your dog doesn’t have a toe ring?
I’m just a tear in a little babys eye……
The whole “rhythms with…electromagnetic frequencies” debate is over-rated. That is NOT the reason Native Americans walked barefoot on the earth.
Dagmar, Reconnecting is a great thing, if you really want to go a little deeper read some of the writings of Victor Schauberger (long deceased) he was a German naturalist that did some incredible work related how vortex’s impact our daily life. Try a book called “Hidden Nature” In one particular chapter he discusses how healthy steams and river flow kind of like a tornado on its side. All of the plant life contribute to how the river achieves and maintains the vortex. All of the animals and plant life use the energy of the vortex to live in a balanced way. Have you ever wondered why a trout can stay motionless in a river torrent without moving very much….they use the energy around them…even DNA is a vortex structure…anyway good luck in you healing. DJ
I find that if I want to walk barefoot through the grass, I have to get there before my rather large dog (or the neighbor’s).
I HATE surprises!
Wait! I ment the neighbors DOG, not the neighbors themselves… Altho, there is one little boy… Well, maybe it isn’t him (and then again…?)
wow hide those toes…looks like a set of grabbers
So do you sleep on that sheet during a lighting storm ?
OK …if it helps you get your happy back then great idea !
Any chance you might give GOD a shot ? He loves you
I bet if looks could kill I would be very dead right now!
Anybody ever seen a redhead mad ? Wow its ugly !
Love the hat, and the smile?
Have you ever thought about writing? You have a way with words!!
I agree that your writing is charming! And thank you for not using the inescapable “it’s” when it’s actually possessive and not a contraction!! Gonna do a revisit to Smallville? They’re wrapping up this season. We do in fact miss you in Georgia.
oh snap i just found out she left atlanta! 8( i didnt even know. im working in baltimore maryland. at the moment hometown is atlanta. such a wonderful person. and omg yea ill say it. smoking hot! im truly at a loss of words. she will be missed by many im sure! including myself. god luck and best wishes to you in all that you do! and keep smiling. some people are too beautiful to stay sad for too long ^^
Dagmar,Glad to see your doing OK.I like your For your Health page but have you tride Aurum Solis,[white powder gold]minerals.Very good stuf.I have been and it works just like they say.Read about it @Life technology.com.Merry Chrismas,and Happy Newyear god bless Ken
I sure do miss watching you on the news. You were the best!
Dagmar, I live in Sacramento, but got an apartment in Atlanta in January 2010 to manage a large construction project there – I get to spend 10 days in Atlanta and 4 days home to see my wife & daughter & grandkids. Not a great arrangement, but livable…barely. But, enough of me.
Anyway, I saw you announcing the weather one evening and was hooked on …well, I can only call it your passion, exuberance, and excitement…it didn’t matter if you were announcing that baseball-sized hail was coming, you made us feel like it would be OK…
I was upset to read of the sadness you have endured in recent years, but it seems you are finding some peace, although it does tend to come slowly. Nature is perverse that way, it seems – events fall on us like landslides, but healing for the survivors seems to take so much longer.
The pictures of you and your friend reminded me of a secluded beach in Santa Barbara – close to Goleta. If you have not visited there yet, it is worth the drive. If you are up for a much longer drive, visit Surf Beach in Lompoc. This time of the year, you may find cold winds and maybe clear skies, but the violent, pounding surf somehow seems calming, in an odd way. I would suggest ending your day with a glass of wine in the very friendly town of Solvang, a warm hotel bed, and a safe trip home the next day.
I will read your entry about mushrooms again…I like how you explain their benefits… I surely hope they taste good.
Again, thank you for brightening our days, and I wish that you find all the colors of the rainbow in your grey days.
Dave
Dear Dagmar, I dont know if you remember me , but I meet you early this year at the Barkstock event in Atlanta. You signed my weather book and I got a picture made with you. I miss you not seeing on CBS and in Atlanta. I hope that LA brings you peace from your loss of your friend in Atl. God Bless you and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a cheerful New Year!
Blessings,
Erick Foster
Hi Dagmar
We sure do miss your beautiful face an smile here in Atlanta.
Loved to watch you do the weather here.
love you on the news in Atlanta, would love to know more about your zoo! love animals. On your paragraph about grounded in LA you have 2 m’s in the word important. Just thought ya might wanna know!
friends

California’s Prop 19 was recently voted down, but I can still enjoy my mighty mushrooms. No, no, no…not the magical kind – the medicinal kind! Yes, there certainly is a difference. Truthfully, I’ve never taken so much as a puff of a cigarette and the roughest drugs washed down my gullet were prescription sleep aids or pain killers, both necessary after flipping ones bike on the track. In short, my anatomy is about as drug free as possible – now. Just a few weeks ago I was struggling to end my dependence on sleep aids, a difficult venture at best. With insomnia obliterating my ability to perform even the most banal of daily tasks I knew there had to be something in my arsenal of herbs and tinctures that would help restructure my circadian rhythms.

Great to hear from you again, Dagmar. We miss you terribly in Georgia, but certainly understand the need to leave. Please keep us advised as to any business endeavors so we can keep our eyes out for you, even though you might be on “the left coast.” lol
You are absolutely, positive THE BEST in my book.
I hope the Chinese herbs help, the Tao and my Buddhism are cloely related and the natural herbs are the best for a body. Be well Dagmar, I miss seeing you on the tube.
Glad to hear you’re doing well. You have our best wishes! The new weather lady just isn’t the same.
Glad to see things are looking up! We do miss you in GA.
Take Care of yourself and Best Wishes!
Great to see you are on the road to wellness. Atlanta weather is not the same without you. I know what you are going through
it is very difficult, but you need to do what is best for you and get you happy again.
Good to hear from you.
Rob “The Quote Guy”
Dagmar, I loved your work on CBS Atlanta. I was shocked when you left, but reading some storys on the internet, I now understand how you feel, I hope you come back here to Atlanta. Sam!
Thanks for the info, Will it help me to sleep? I cant sleep well since I gave up on grass. Im glad I gave it up but I still wake up hurting.
Miss you so much! Hope all is going well for you. Thanks for the shroom concoction!
dagmar we miss you here in ga. thanks for letting all know what you are up to. hope you sleep well and dream long. the ocean always had a soothing effect for me.
Good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well.
Good Evening Dagmar! I agree with Janice. We miss you very,very much back here in Atlanta(Canton). It is SO good to see you posting again. I wonder every day how you are doing, and what adventure you will take-on next. I still can’t watch channel 46 WGCL anymore. PLEASE keep me(us) updated!!!… Thanks for the mushroom tips. I trust your knowledge of natural foods and herbs. You can hit-me-up on Facebook,Twitter, or Myspace if you ever want to chat with your #1 lifetime Fan!!… Always in my heart and mind, Shawn Lee Butler..ps. hug the ‘critters’(smile)…
Did the mushroom stuff work ???? It looks awful !!!!
Do you need anything besides sleep?
How are your pets?
Ok I want to see a video of you really drinking that stuff..and keeping it it down.
Hi, Dagmar. Sorry to hear you’re having sleeping issues. A good spin class usually does it for me but everyone has to find their own remedies. I hope CA is being good to you as you have a lot of fans here who miss you. As Janice said, let us know what you get involved in that we might have a chance to see. We all support you and want you to be happy. Take care.
Got scared about the heading! Thought sweet little Dagmar was having some fun in Cali. Glad to see it wasn’t what I thought!
Still hate that you are gone, but will soon get over the fact you will not tell me how to dress for the next day. Now my new phone lets me know!!!
Missing you from Atlanta.
but don’t worry about the negative consequences,the only side effect..it might turn your hair red…..HAHAHA
A good hot cup of Sleepy Time or Kava Tea seems a lot more simple and less expensive. The ocean and the mountains have a way of balancing your system. You might try crystal therapy, it works for some people, read about Marcel Vogel and it will make more sense.
It’s remarkable to see that your writing and smarts are as exceptional as your beauty. Many good wishes from those who miss you in Georgia.
Great ideas – do whatever works for you. However neither of those teas provide anywhere near the same long and short term health benefits as do medicinal mushrooms. Herbs are also a HUGE component of my days and nights. I try to stay away from teas purchased in most main stream stores as the tea leaves are of inferior quality and generally over processed. I try to buy organic or wild crafted whole leaf teas grown under sustainable and fair trade conditions. I love connecting with the earth – crystals are part of the earth. Currently I am enjoying my grounding or earthing sheets. I’ll be posting a blog about this info soon. D
Dagmar, there must be something medicinal about these mushrooms. As Wikipedia was kind enough to reveal your birth year for all to see, it’s obvious something makes you look much younger than **. If that something be mushrooms, so be it.
Bbeing old enough to be your father, I can say this with confidence. I know about aging (and not aging).
May you continue to live long, well and happy.
Your #1 fan in New York State,

if u want to get rid of insomnia and help stop anxiety u need to be taking magnesium supplements, which will lower blood pressure, and help stress. For insomnia and anxiety both, go to GNC and get a bottle of GABA, which is an amino acid that blocks nerve impulses of anxiety. No side effects for either, they are all natural. 3 bucks at wally world for 90 days of magnesium, GABA is about twenty bucks for 60-90 days
Hi there Markymark,
Thanks for the info. I’ve been using a topical magnesium salt supplement for years. I buy either the Sunfood or the Ancient Minerals brand. I’ve also been taking solid amounts of L-theanine (a building block of GABA which crosses the blood-brain barrier more efficiently) in the form of Tao In A Bottle from Dragon Herbs. Although I believe that they were and continue to be beneficial to my health, I did not notice much of a change in my sleeping patterns. Mushrooms have worked well for me.
Thanks again and have a wonderful day,
D
I woke up one day and after a busy day turn on the evening news and I noticed you were gone.I searched and found out why, I do understand and I just want you to know you are the reason that I spend time in my garden and under my own legs. no more scooter.
thank you.
You go girl!!!! Mushrooms are fantastic. As you’ve stated, they ‘are’ full of magical, medical healing power. When I’m back home (Southern Cal) I make sure I stock up on all those great natural ‘eats’ that holistically work for me.
Of all the things I miss most about L.A., tops on my list is the health conscious lifestyle. Granted, not everyone in So Cal is into such, but lucky for me enough were/are warranting many, many great health food type restaurants. I remember, back in the day, how my girlfriend and I loved going to a restaurant called “The Good Earth”. All they served was vegetarian and natural foods. I had my first glass of Alkaline water there. I’ve been hooked every since.
They had two locations (Santa Monica and Westwood). They’ve long since been gone from the L.A. area, but they sure left their mark. They were years ahead of their time. Boy…now would be a great time to re-open such an establishment. Hum…food for thought.
Being the Peskatarian that I am, I always try to make it by my favorite ‘fish taco’ joint—“Wahoo” in West Los Angeles. They have some of the best fish tacos in L.A.; and there are a lot of tacos being made in L.A.
Try them out…you may like‘em ?
Here are a few locations and their phone numbers:
West L.A. 310-445-5990
Santa Monica 310-393-9125
Manhattan Beach 310-796-1044
Pasadena 626-449-2005
Torrance 310-540-7725
Hey…any luck yet on finding a manager? Having worked in both the motion picture and recording industry, while there, I still keep in touch with friends who use managers and agents. But I’m sure you’ve already taken care of that …

Velvet Strawberry Moose, told you the West was the best. It only gets better.
Sounds realy realy good. Problem is that its 3 am and now I’m hungry lol lol.
it is so good to hear you enjoying yourself . i hope your great adventures continue to enlighten and make you smile
Glad you are enjoying yourself…hide those toes
Glad to know you had a good trip out west. We will certainly miss you back here in Northeast Georgia. I always would watch your forecasts before heading out the door to dance class. Take care; your posts have me curious about the the whole eat raw idea. Stay safe.
When you going to head to Venice or Manhatten Beach, great food, good people watching, and beaches, of course Santa Monica is not bad, and the hills above Malibu have some great places to live.. Have fun, been there and done that but if I had my choice I would be up north east of San Francisco near Tahoe, cant beat the skiing! Later DJ
I forgot to say I hope the meetings went well for you.
It’s good to see you are starting to enjoy the West coast. Wish you the best of luck in California. Lots of good restaurants in Santa Monica.
I’m so glad to hear you sounding like the Dagmar we all Love and miss back here in Atlanta!… Please keep me(us) informed of what all is going on with YOU!!.. Always in my heart!. Miss YOU!..
I was going to mention some of my favorite seafood restaurants down around Balboa, but it’s been so long since I was there last I don’t know if any of them are still in business. However, if you feel like whale watching I might just be able to suggest my favorite boat skipper…
Dagmar:
I was reminiscing about the “good ol’ days” in SoCal and something occurred to me that might interest you.
If you still have access to a motorcycle, and you have an entire day to do some real sight-seeing, take a ride south to Capistrano Beach. Once you get there turn east onto Highway 74 (It’s called Ortega Highway now) and just follow it east for a while. The scenery is gorgeous (all two lane road). You’ll pass Mission San Juan Capistrano, and eventually get to Lake Elsinor where the largest skydiving school in the west is located. They also do a lot of parasailing off of the mountain there. Further east you can either hit I-15 North back to L.A., or keep heading east on 74 (it changes names to the Palms to Pines Highway) clear out to Desert Hot Springs, Palm Springs etc. And get on I-10 West back to L.A. Check it out on a map before you start, or just “Google Earth” it…
I put many a mile on my old KZ900 making a day of it on that road. I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I were there.
It’s a heck of a day trip but I promise you that every mile shows you some new wonder.
I lived in SoCal most of my pre-military life and I will tell you that it’s one beautiful place once you get away from the cities.
Please be careful, but enjoy!

Tweet After 5 long days and 4 short nights in a car, my furry, feathered clan and I reached our destination – the vast waters of the Pacific Ocean. Since arriving at the west coast, the weather has been unusually damp and chilly. A couple of low pressure systems off-shore have made me feel right...

Thank you so much for the blog update!! We miss you so much here in Atlanta, but I understand why you felt you needed to leave.
I wish only good things for you. You are such a positive force, IMO, in the great scheme of things.
spoken like a true meteorologist
Love you, Dagmar. Let the sand and surf heal your heart so you can come back to us in Atlanta. We miss you!
Awesome photos! I would love to move closer to the beach! Miss you on the news here in Atlanta!
Val
I love the middle pic, hoping you are finding some peace.
Was watching Top Gear & the New Maserati & thought about you.
Have fun with the furries!
I so miss you Dagmar. Love the pics, but I don’t mind saying the 1st one is my favorite.
Hey D’,
Glad you made it ok and enjoy. Remember that we do have nice beaches in Ontario. Although it is starting to get a little chilly!
Take care…
Beautiful shots.
Dagmar,
We do miss you here in north Georgia. I’m glad you’re safely there on the west coast and using its beauty as a salve. I am dreadfully sorry for your sadness and loss. Know that it will slowly ebb, like the tide.
Your gifts are missed here — especially since “the silly girl” seems to be taking your place. (my husband’s words) You were so able to bring intelligence with warmth, along with good humor and ease — without the silliness! Those gifts will put you in good stead as you move toward new endeavors.
We think we’ll end up seeing you on the national news. You’ve got all the right stuff!
Be of good hope,
Carol Wood
Best to you Dagmar, have a great life.
welcome home!
The west coast just got more beautiful…welcome back Dagmar…
and a big welcome of course your furry friends.
I am so glad to hear you so happy lately. I do miss seeing you every evening(except most weekends). I have every newscast you did since I found you on BMA. I still can’t watch any of them. I fear I’ll never see you again!… PLEASE keep me updated on the things going on in your life. Always your #1 Fan, and Friend for Life, Shawn Lee Butler(Canton,Ga.)….Ps. Big Hugs!….
thank you for sharing with yourself with us… watching you each evening was a joy for my mom and me… she is almost 90 yet seemed to feel your warmth through the tv… i wonder if you realize how many people you have touched and made us want to be better people whether through your special reports or the great way you had of telling us to take better care of these bodies we have been given…
the pictures are wonderful i am afraid to show them to my 3 dogs they will probably leave and try to find you…
i know you are loved and appreciated where ever you go so we must share you
peace love and joy be yours

So glad to see your new blog. Miss you doing the weather but I would prefer being back on the Pacific coast near Malibu again myselfe. Best wishes.
I am glad things are working out for you. Maybe this and time will help you heel. What about us people is Georgia. We miss you on tv. California’s gain is our loss. Post more pictures. thanks for all the memories.
Great photos Dagmar! Love the profile(s). Still praying for you and wishing you well as you begin this new chapter in your life.
Your dogs seemed to have loved the surf and show great character and personality. There’s nothing like feeling a good ocean breeze on a clear sunny day!
Hey Dagmar,
I surely miss seeing you on the news. You’re the best sweetheart. Warm hugs.
Robert Jones
Great Photos Dagmar, cute dogs! I am so glad that you are finding peace in your life. My family misses you here in Atlanta, but we understand your quest. May GOD always light your path and lead you to your destiny. Blessings and hugs.
Malibu! beware of guys named “Charlie”. If his brother & nephew lives with them, RUN! Miss you back in the big “A”.
Strapping young hound you have there…nice ear presentation!
Best wishes to you and your new life….sidenote: Who cut your hair in the ATL?
Dagmar,
I’m so sorry that you have suffered the pain you have. I know it’s easy to say, but I believe that adversity is a gift as well. You will be a better person for it. I hope that each day brings you a little more peace and happiness.
You are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside.
Peace and happiness,
Scott Craig
So you leave Atlanta for the coast. You go girl. You missed the big snow storm too.
I do hope you are taking good care of yourself. You are greatly missed.
Look me up sometime, I’d enjoy hearing from you and would be most appreciative for any updates. Privacy would be respected of course.
Great to get an update on your status via Facebook.
Glad that things are going well. GREAT pictures.
The weather in Southern California is wonderful.
Enjoy.
Donald
Atlanta, GA
Oh my gosh you’re gone!!???? I’m a bit slow in realizing this since I normally watch “The Weather Channel” for my information. Those times when I would watch the local Atlanta weather report, I would always turn to see and hear you. You were wonderful to watch…and that voice; I just loved it. Not a lot of foolishness during your weather report, which is so common with others. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for smart redheads. And you are definitely that.
I understand “My Beautiful Blue Pacific” since I’m originally from the Los Angeles area. I get back home about nine weeks per year to vacation and to check on clients. Every trip I make sure I get to the Pacific to relax and grab an ocean side lunch or dinner.
I can’t wait until my next trip back to Los Angeles, and I hope to see your wonderful self, on some local L.A. station, doing what you do best.
Enjoy the time.
P.S. I really liked the photos.
As I’m drawn back to “My Beautiful Blue Pacific” I think of a certain song. A song that I would like to share with you:
I hope you like it.
Blessings Ms. D.

We really miss you The weather reporting in Georgia will never be the same LOL..I am glad you are happy and wish you the best of everything always.
You go , Dagmar!!!
Sit on the vortex. Gather your chi. Have fun in LA. Better you than me.
Take care,
your friend Katz
We hope everything is ok. Let us know when you get to LA.
Dearest Dagmar,
We sure do miss you here in GA, but understand why. Praying that God’s hands will be felt and that they will bring you comfort.
Anne
Hi Dagmar,
Hope your trip is going well. I haven’t watched any weather reports since you left. Now, I just stick my head outside the door to see what it’s doing. I wish you the best and hope this change is the medicine the doctor ordered. You are missed but I think I can speak for everyone in Atl., that we wish you well.
Rick

Hello Dagmar(D). YES, WE ALL miss your smiling face and soothing voice every evening! I have worried SO much about you. I truly hope you find the peace and happiness you so much deserve. Please, please let me know how things are going for you now and in the future!!!.. Always,Your#1 Fan, and Friend, Shawn Lee Butler(Canton,Georgia) ps. Your pictures will always shine on my desk, and office
You are truly missed Dagmar.
Go West young lady, and may the future bring you everything you ever dreamed of, and then some. Be well…
Great picture, we miss you in ATL, best wishes to you.
Georgia is great but the West is the best.
God bless you. We are thinking about you and pray for you.
To say that we miss you is the understatement of the year; you are in our prayers and I wish you much success in your new adventure! Prosper and enjoy your life; God Bless you and yours
Hey Dagmar I am glad that you are feeling carefree and happy with your feathered and furry friend’s I wish you many more special time’s! P.s that was a beautiful rainbow I hope you find your pot of gold at the end of it.
I hope you find much happiness. May God Bless you and your life richly. Take care. We miss you.
Just seeing that beautiful smile on TV during the weather cast here in Atlanta was enough. The weather will ALWAYS be ok where ever you wander, and may that Rainbow always be with you…God Bless You Dagmar****
Dagmar, I used to live close to Sedona, you found a wonderfully spiritual place to stop (not as much as Taos, N.M.). I hope it did your soul some good. Look forward to hearing your next post, Michael.
If you get a chance, take the drive due north from Sedona toward Grand Canyon, on Highway 89. Weather permitting, you’ll want to ride with the top down! Sedona is a wonderful place of spirtual healing and renewal.
Correction, thats Alt. 89 toward Flagstaff. Only need to go about 15 miles or so. Enjoy.
So glad to see/have an update on you. Sedona, AZ sounds wonderful, will have to visit some day. Miss you in GA, but understand, and wish you all the best, comfort, health, clarity, happiness, positive and loving energies! Update when you can, love to hear from you.
Yes, we miss Dagmar here in Vancouver as well, and hope for nothing but the best for her. We can only hope one day she will return…but for now, we can watch her grow into the person she wants to be. Best wishes forever Dagmar!
Sounds like fun out there, Lucky dogs. The best of luck to you.
Dagmar, We miss you in Atlanta. Wish you the best in your new life, and hope you find the peace you seek! Good luck.
I will miss Dagmar! That great smile! When she did the weather, every day was a perfect 10. you will be missed! have a great life in your new journey.
One more thing. on your new journey into life, savor every mile
Dagmar,
It’s good to see your spirits lifted. Thanks for all that you have shared here in Georgia and may the road ahead of you be a blessed one.
Thanks for keeping the BLOG going!!! You are sorely missed but will never be forgotten!!! Hang in there and know you carry my warmest thoughts and prayers!
Really miss you on Atlanta’s CBS but wish you the very best in your new life! I, too have suffered great losses in my life and I admire your courage. I know you will be blessed on this new path.
I love this picture! My parents lived in Sedona. What a wonderful place!
First of all, you have to love anyone who would shower under a watering can, and think it was enjoyable! Second, nice photo! A rainbow is a sign of a new beginning. Of course you will still have the smelly dogs and chatty bird! I have live in Atlanta for 15 years and still don’t have it on my top five places I have lived. From what I see you loved the area and had a great job. I know, a job is a job. My advise, stop often on your travels and enjoy the moments! The dogs need to stretch!
Hey Baby,
Beautiful place, beautiful photo, by a beautiful gal.
You be safe ok.
May the force be with you!!
Hugzzzzz
Sam
I miss your face.
I left the SoCal area (born and raised there) back in ’82 and haven’t been back since. My frinds from the old days tell me that a lot has changed (for the worse) since I left, so I think I’ll stay gone.
I hope that you have better there than you did here. And I hope that, from time to time you take the time to share your thoughts with those of us who miss you and wish nothing but the best for you.
Tell the cranky bird that I’m jealous. Have a safe trip, and write when you can.
GRC
D. do you need anything?
Did you sell your house in Atlanta?
This California boy will miss you in Georgia. The weather won’t be the same without your smile…Enjoy the Beach…I miss it !
Oh, fair child, you will, someday look back. Understand that we understand your wanderlust. We love you. You brought us life.
Go to the best Agency. Find someone there who understands you. The world needs you. America is dying. Keep chasing the sunsets until you find the sunrise. Please remember me and the purple flowers I sent to the station last November after meeting you at the “Turkey Drive” in Tucker where you, so cordially allowed your picture with me. Thank you for confiding in me, at that time, your situation. Remember the peppermint candy I offered you at “Bark for the Arts” when you could hardly speak? I digress to my personal emotion. Forgive me. Do you remember the poem I wrote you, “Dagmar driving about the Weimar”? As a sixth generation southerner, I will assert a fabricated colloquialism saying “we all” love you and that your presence among us has invoked a sensation rivaling that of Vivien Leigh’s portrayal of Scarlett. About Him. You described Him as the “Love of my life”. Your change of venue will help. As impossible as it seems, you will find another. Relax. Don’t fret. It will happen.
I will always love you for the happiness you brought to me. You have truly “made the viewer happy”. And those flirtatious interludes such as bathing Wiki and suggestivities as bathing under the flowerpot. Few women understand how to tantalize one man, much less your legion! Ha Ha You have all our prayers. Go forward. Good bye.
LA one of the top ten worst places to live…Get back to Georgia they are doing 30 film projects right here
Yep LA is certainly a Vortex of choice…I wish you luck and Ive gots lots of friends there…big and small but friends….live on the beach Playa Del Rey, Manhatten…enjoy it..but the crazies are about so be careful.
I moved back to GA last year and wondered who this beautiful and lovely lady was on TV telling me what the weather would be like tomorow. You certainly made an impact on this city, and you will be missed! I’m so sorry about your boyfriend. Would never have known, but when I missed seeing you on the air I wondered why until I read Rodney Ho’s article this evening. Sorry to see you go, but it’s completely understandable. I would love to have met you. I share your love of animals and nature, and from the looks of it you’re into photography too. Cool shot of the rainbow! Dagmar, I pray that you’ll find healing for your heart wherever you end up. Keep looking up! And If you ever want another friend, look me up on FB. : )
When you get to LA turn right and don’t stop until you get to Vancouver. We miss you.
I needed My “Dag Fix”…Thanx for the beautiful Rainbow! I still B Missin’ ya…Hope all is “Well” or at least “Over Easy”(sigh!) : (
Now that’s a breathtaking pic…almost as gorgeous as you
Thank you for sharing the beautiful rainbow picture. Prayers are still coming your way. We miss you here in Atlanta. May God’s grace bring healing in your life.
Tony
Dagmar, your bright smile will not fade from my memory. You brought a quality to the weather report which I have not seen in my 40 years in broadcasting. It was not until your departure that I learned of the personal tragedy you’ve been suffering. I shall keep you in my prayers. As a side note, I should have guessed such a beauty came from one of my favorite cities. I spent a year in Vancouver, where I designed the tech facilities for CKVU-TV, which became Citytv Vancouver. Great city, great people.
You are missed.
I’m still trying to figure out the Vortex comment!!!
I’m very glad to hear you are well. I know you have been going through a lot and, like many who know you only through your work in Atlanta my wife and I wish you all the best. We both grew up in California and originally met in 1971 in Thousand Oaks. After 38 years of marriage and 24 years with the Air Force living all over the world we have now settled near Lake Chatuge in North Carolina. We still love California and hope that your “new start” there will help you to find what you are looking for. Please continue to let us know how you are doing.
Dagmar,
You will be sorely missed in Atlanta. The city has seemed darker since your departure from the airwaves.
I hope and pray that you find peace where you are going. You’ve brightened some many lives in this city that I am sure God has greater plans for you.
God bless.
Why did you have to leave us in Atl? We loved you
Dear Dagmar, thank you for the cheer you brought us during your time in Atlanta! Though I didn’t get to meet you, you kindly responded to a couple of my e-mails. Like many, I had no idea of your trials and pain, and I certainly hope you are on the mend and much joy awaits you. Reading your blogs reveals your considerable writing talent, something not found as often today. Your gorgeous and sunny persona made tuning in at five after a requirement! I still instinctively do it. Many blessings and gratitude to you, young lady!
Ooh… A Double Rainbow…Very Cool…
Take Dagmar… =)
Good luck to you Dagmar in what ever your future holds for you. My heart goes out to you. You are loved by many. You will be missed dearly.
Dagmar, my husband and I have been discussing over the past few weeks.. “Where’s Dagmar?”…just found out your story and that you are starting a new life away from Atlanta. You have a wonderful heart and one day, you will be able to remember the good times and not the sadness you left here. It takes time. Just know that you are in our prayers and we wish you well as you go on. You have the beauty, both in and out, that will take you far in life. God’s blessings on you today and every day.
Great picture. Hope you and the critters have a safe journey.
“All of life is a journey which paths we take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we will take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there.”
Thanks for the post. I wish all of the best to you, the puppies and the bird!
We will definitely miss you at the UGA/FL game. Best wishes.
We miss you in Athens Ga. Wish you the dogs and the bird all the best. LA Rocks!!!
Dagmar, I didn’t know you had left. What a bummer for all of us. I’m also sorry I never got to meet you. You were (are), such a joy to watch and listen too, no matter what you are doing. Keep in touch and I hope to see you again soon. I know that no matter what it is you’ll be a big hit.
Respectfully,
Mike
I wish you the best! You were a wonderful breath of fresh air for the Atlanta area! I liked how you often mentioned Newnan in your weathercasts! Not many do.
I hope you are able to obtain the new life you are seeking. I know it is extremely difficult to go through what you have. I’ve been there!
Keep us informed how you are doing! We are praying for you!
Keep on looking up and moving forward!
It’s wonderful to know that you’re on the way to a new life. Even though I wasn’t in a position to watch CBS 46 live, I never failed to log onto their website at 4:00 PM daily. Hope those of us not where you’ll live will be able to see you again somehow.
I want to let you know how badly I felt when I found out why you left Georgia (not a local, and didn’t know about your guy until your goodbye message). That’s really rough, and for an obviously sensitive lady such as yourself, unthinkable.
I don’t want this to sound like a love letter (I’m old enough to be your father) but in a sense, it is. The sight (and sound, lovely voice and laught) made my day, no matter how rotten, every single day. Life has been pretty dreary the last 6 weeks, and the thought that we might see you again in any distant way is very uplifting. You are honestly the loveliest woman I’ve seen in my 66 years (and my own wife is no slouch, believe me) and you seem to be a genuinely nice person as well.
I wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do, but I sure do hope it’s somehow publicly visible.
All the best,
Bill F
Why do I have the sinking feeling that we’ve heard the last of you on this blog?
I truly hope that I’m wrong.
I finally turned on the Channel 46 news last night and found the “replacement” they hired for you… I won’t be going back.
Things appeared to have started to go downhill the last few months that you were there. Adding “Gomer” Martinez (like you needed back-up or some such), replacing Kim… I guess they just forgot who their target audience was. I hope that that didn’t add to the stress you were feeling.
Ah, well. Done is done.
If I could ask one favor, tell the quakes for me that I don’t miss ‘em at all, but I sure do miss the ocean, the mountains and, especially, the desert. I spent the first eighteen years of my life knocking around out there and I do miss it so. And, if you would, while you’re at it, if you happen to pass by Williams Lake look up at the poles along side the road. I made some of those snow depth marks many years ago. You’ll have to look up high; it was pretty deep.
Well, good luck in all you do. I have an idea that whatever it is that you decide to do you will land on your feet (or, at least come up swinging).
I wish for you the best of luck Dagmar. I, for one, will miss your smile.
GRC
We all miss you and hope you are well
God has much healing and joy in store for you. Grief cannot be avoided. Find a safe place to just “be” for as long as you need. Your loved ones will see you through…..you’ll be missed.
Rev. Melanie Stanley-Soulen
Charles,
In the course of an ordinary day I suppose it could mean whatever you want it to mean, but since I was visiting Sedona, AZ Vortex refers to the locations in the area where folks of a spiritual nature believe the earth concentrates mystical ‘energy’. I personally didn’t notice this magical flow of power, but I did thoroughly envelope myself in the spectacular views and pristine environment. Vortex or no, it was a rare treat
Dagmar, You took some great pictures.
It may not be a bad idea now if you work like Travel Channel’s Anthony Bourdain; traveling all over the worlds and having fun with pay. What do you think?
Tweet As some of you may know the past year has been the most difficult of my life. It’s been a very dark time for me personally, and as such I have come to the decision that I need to leave this amazing city. I need to move away from Atlanta as soon as possible,...

so sorry for your loss and i am sorry to see you leave i watched
you do the news and really enjoyed them. I hope you someday find peace and happiness again. we will miss you . good luck and god bless
While I cannot imagine the pain and heartache you’ve endured, I do know it can be devastating.
Sometimes a change can help ease the pain a bit. Best of luck from a long-time fan (from way back when you did the driving show with Zack Spencer).
Dagmar:
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss, pain and distress. Life is too precious to live in agony and grief – I genuinely hope you find happiness and joy again soon.
Please take good care of yourself, and best wishes wherever you end up. If you ever come back to Atlanta, know that we will welcome you back with open arms and a big hug.
Much love and support,
P
So sorry about your lost.
You Can and Will get through This!! I am currently dating a woman who lost her husband last year. It Will take time BUT YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!!! The fact that it is tearing you up like it is just shows how deep your love was for him! Sorry to see you go Take Care and remember YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!!!!!!!!! POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE!!!!!! Well try to keep a positive mental attitude. Some things are easier said than done! Fair Winds and Following Seas Sweetie!!!
Dagmar,
I wish all the best as this chapter of your life comes to a close and hope that, with time, you may be able to revisit Atlanta. You’ve inspired the viewers in the Atlanta area with more than just reporting the weather – As a pet rescue advocate, you helped add our pup, “Buster” to our family as a rescue. (I think we needed him as much as he needed a home with us!!)
Again, best wishes to you in you future and you’ll have a friend in me.
Regards,
Steve Rhoades
Dear Dagmar … I want to wish you the very best. You truly are a genuine and kind person and you have always been so very sweet to reply to emails. Atlanta is a better place for having had you here for too brief a time. Take care of yourself!
Dagmar, So sorry for your loss. Hang in there, continue grief counseling and be happy. Atlanta loves you and you will always have a place in the hearts of your loyal veiwers. Best of luck in whatever and where ever you may land.
God bless you Dagmar!
although many people will try to talk you out of your decision,go for what you need to heal. my husband of 21 yrs. passed away in the last year and i tottally understand the feelings of pain. go for it and heal however you can, i still have no idea of what that is for me.
Dagmar,
I’m so sorry for your loss and also for ours. I wish you didn’t have to go, but I understand how this is the best for you. You have captured the heart of Atlanta, I know, because everyone I know just loves you.
Thank you so much for coming into our hearts and into our homes to put a smile on our faces!
The greatest gift we can give ourselves is remembering what is truly important and living it. May your journey be one of restoration and, eventually, much joy. Though you will be missed by many in the Atlanta community, we’re glad you are part of this planet, and we thank you for all you have done for our less-fortunate animal friends.
Sorry for your loss Dagmar, I hope you can find peace somewhere with your animals.
We’re going to miss that amazing smile of yours.
Best of British!
Claire
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of a loved one, my thoughts and prayers are with you! You will be missed by many loyal fans in the Metro Atlanta area.
When I read the story this morning and realized your love for animals, I thought that maybe on your way back to the West Coast, you might stop in at a horse ranch or farm in Wyoming, Colorado, Montana or anywhere in between and possibly stay on as a hired hand, I’m sure there will be plenty of work which will benefit the body and plenty of love from the animals for the soul.
May God be with You til we meet again.
Carl
hello miss midcap,i want to say how sorry i was to hear of your loss and how this past year has been so rough for you.when we lose someone that we love and are so close to it is really difficult,but you said you had been to see counselors for grief related issues my question is did you ask the Lord to help you an ask him to see you thru he wants to hear from you and he wants to give you peace.in the bible he says he can give you the peace that passes all understanding,other words will be unexplainable but he will give you rest midst all storms around you.i invite you to come to my church first assembly of God in griffin georgia pastor randy valimont senior paster. we have christian counselors who can help an help you to seek the Lord and get help from him.
dagmar good look in the future if you are coming back to vancouver give me a call we can go for lunch long over do will be like the old times like at the variety show of hearts anual bbq for show of hearts is september 12 if your around you can come with us
Dagmar, I can’t express how saddened I am to hear about what you are going through. I wish you all the best in what you do, and I know all of Atlanta does as well. We’ll never forget our most beautiful, lively, and lovable anchor ever. Best of luck.
Been watching Atlanta TV since 1977, 2 people got my attation & now the last one is leaving !!!
God bless and may your life be blessed !!!
It will get better, I know, I lost my beautiful grandson in a car wreck !!!
Thank you for you stop in Atlanta !!!
My family and I are saddened to learn of your loss and departure. Losing someone we love deeply is very difficult; the support of family and friends and the Lord’s grace will continue to strengthen you. We wish you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain.
Your lovely smile, enthusiasm for life, work and spirit made us loyal viewers of the network. You will be missed by many persons; especially by the most vulnerable, the animals. Thank you for your support and the countless deeds you performed on their behalf. We hope you will be able to take your family-pets with you as you relocate, for they do know how to provide us humans with unconditional love. Our prayers are with you and yours; until our paths cross again, PEACE be with you. Velia and Family
“Believe in the sun when it is not shining. Believe in love when you are alone. Believe in God when He is silent.”
I just read the article about you leaving Atlanta and why. I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your partner. I watched the night news just to see you, cause you always brought a smile to my face with your personality!! Didn’t matter how shitty the weather was!! You have a gift and I know you will heal to offer even more. Take care.. Love All, Trust Few but always Paddle your own Canoe!!
Dagmar, I am so sorry for your loss and I understand. I wish you the very best and I hope and pray that you will be fine. Take care and solace in knowing that many people here call you a friend and will always be here for you.
Dagmar,
You will truly be missed. You have been a ray of bright sunshine. I personally got a kick out of your own “style” … of how you dresssed. I recon I am too conservative (ha-ha).
We, do support your decision on leaving not just the Atlanta area but the state of Georgia (though you will be sorely missed). We do understand.
May our God of all creation send His comforter and encourager to be with you as you go forward with this next chapter of your life. We thank you for giving of yourself and allowing us to be a small part of your life.
Our prayers will be with you!
Calvin & Janice Turner
Cartersville, GA
Teresa and I still pray for you. I am sure you will find healing. You are one of the strongest person I have ever spoken with..
Please check in from time to time and let us know how you are doing. awburkhardt@att.net or 770-995-3179
God bless you. You have to do whatever is best for you. God loves you and will keep you in the palm of his hand.
I too lost a love one many years ago the sorrow was almost unbearable , my thoughts and prayer are with you in this time of strife, but God will see you though, God speed ! You will be missed , thanks for being , les
Dagmar,
Many Hugs for you…I know this was a difficult decision for you, you are a true professional…Your Altanta Fans will have to cope as we did on the west coast when you left to pursue your dreams…Your Fans support you no matter what your decision….You do whats best for your own well being…Best Wishes and good Luck!
XOXO
John
I’m so sorry to hear the rumor of your leaving is true. However, after reading the post I certainly understand and wish you all the best. You’ve been fun to watch, a good sport on many levels, and a big lift to various causes around the city!
To borrow a line from a photo in my possession – “You’re the best!”
Ms Midcap, I understand your pain, but please reconsider your choice to leave CBS Atlanta.
You were the hi-lite of my evenings. I waited everynight for you to do the weather for us. Your calm, even delivery were a joy to watch and listen to.
We all suffer losses in our lives – some minor, some major, but we must cope with those losses and move forward.
I have lost both my parents, Aunts, Uncles and my “Relative Bank” is running on empty. Each loss was no less tragic than the last, but I give thanks everyday that I still have my health and keep on “Truckin’ on”.
Eventually the pain will lessen with each passing day and I found that work was the best medicine for grief.
So PLEASE reconsider your choice to leave. We enjoy you so much….
Dearest Dagmar~
May you find peace & contentment as you move into your “next phase”. Wishing you strength and courage on your journey.
One thing I’ve always wanted to tell you is how much you remind me of Hollywood’s iconic beauty Rita Hayworth. You both exude elegance and glamour & I’ll miss seeing you each evening.
Many safe travels Dagmar
You go and do what your heart tells you to do! We will all miss you but you have to heal. Remeber you have touched so many with you grace and warm smile.
God bless and protect and know you are in my families prayers tonight.
If you ever choose to come back you have friend here who will welcome you.
Dear friend, my heart goes out to you, so so very sorry for what you are going through. Atlanta loves you Dagmar, and we hope and pray for the best for you. God bless you dear and take care of yourself.
Saying a prayer for you,
Elaine
we will miss you so much ..but we do understand.. thanks for the time we had to know on the air
I’ve sat here and cried for the past few minutes after learning of what you’ve endured,just thinking of how strong you have been,how much of a beautiful wonderfully caring angel you are who has touched,helped and changed so many lives – ESPECIALLY MINE. There is nothing you can’t do and even if you do pick grapes on the west coast…they will become the finest wine.
It has been said “There’s no place like home” and “Home is where the heart is” so, “Search your heart,search your soul and when you’re finally there you’ll search no more”. Be it Vancouver or some place else, where ever that search leads you always remember in this peach state of ours thousands of viewers,countless pets and one quiet star-struck man with the heart of a poet from Cloudland will forever love you,thank you and be here for you. It’s been quite the stumble Dagmar:) I hope the absolute very best for you in this journey forward and selfishly I hope to see you again!!!
Ms. Midcap…I had no idea you had left until I watched the news last night and they stated that you had moved on. My friends and I just thought you were taking a long holiday weekend. Now that I have looked further this morning, I understand why. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your partner…the general public had no knowledge of this. I am a bass tournament fisherman so I always looked for you each night to give us the forecast. Your smile and energy is amazing! You will be missed and I wish you the best as you continue to work through your loss. May God bless you…you will be in my prayers. There are other people out there for your life to touch…Mike
You will be missed by all of your fans, including me. I hope you much luck and happiness where ever you decide to go. I also hope you will continue your blog and facebook so we can all continue to follow your success.
Much love to you
Carolyn
Dagmar, I know I don’t know you personally, but you seem like a geniune great person. God has given you gifts of beauty, intelligence, and charisma. In life God also lets things happen that challenge us and makes us into different people. I understand your need to get away from Atlanta. I hope and pray your new start will be exactly what you need. I also hope and pray that I will continue to hear and see you in the future.
Dear Dagmar, our family is keeping you in our prayers. We are so sorry for your loss and we understand your needing to get away from the painful reminders. We had a similar situation with a close loss in our own family. We know that you will be missed greatly by the people and animals of Atlanta, but that you will be a blessing everywhere you go. God bless you for your compassionate heart, and all the work you do for animals. The world is a better place because you are in it.
The Moser Family
We are sorry to hear of this tragic loss and your leaving Atlanta, Dagmar you have been a shinning light in the mist of all the darkness. May your heart be strong, your smile be bright and the special spark you spread come back to you and those you come in contact with.
De beste ønskene og fred er med deg
Dear Miss Dagmar, I agree with Steve above. I understand why you feel you must go, but work & the passing of time are the only relief for that kinda pain. I liked you when I 1st saw you, I loved you when you came to Dawsonville & literally put us on the map, the weather map that is. We appreciate Jennifer for keeping us there. We by & (I mean everyone in your viewing area) no means feel the pain you feel, however a whole viewing area is grieving the loss of our Dagmar. In that We’ll miss you & now that we know what’s happened, we grieve for you & the pain you are experiencing. Not many people in the world have 3 million people for a support system. Especially in one town. Your voice is so soothing as well as reassuring to listen to. I loved it when you would do car & drivers job for them & drive an automobile & give your opinion about it. So many things to miss if & I’m sure you will leave. Just know your loved
P.S. God Bless You. No matter where you go.
I will miss you on tv and your billboard pics. I had no idea, up until early this week, of the issues that you have faced in the last 14 months–but being near family is very likely the best thing that you can do for yourself at this time.
I noted on an Auburn Football message board that prior to retirement in late 2009, I drove across downtown Atlanta between Newnan and Alpharetta for several years and that your billboard pictures during the last few were the only thing that made that ordeal bearable.
I wish you peace in dealing with your loss and happiness in your future ventures.
Regards,

I’ve never considered myself as a “fan” of anyone, but I for one will miss you terribly. I had no idea how much I looked forward to your “being there” when I got home after another long day.
All I can do is ask that The Lord bless you and keep you, and make His light to shine upon you, assuage your grief and that of those of us you leave behind.
These old song lyrics somehow seem to sum it up:
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone.
It’s not warm when she’s away.
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And she’s always gone too long anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she’s gone,
Wonder if she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home anytime she goes away.

Dear Dagmar,
My heart goes out to you..
I do understand your pain and want you to know… although we will miss your cheery nightly weather report you are doing the right thing for yourself and your healing. I moved to Georgia 6 years ago two years after the sudden (car accident) death of my 20 year old son. The first year I was numb.. which is a blessing. The second year when the pain was not muffled by shock the reality set in that he was not coming home was too much to bear.. seeing his room untouched for a year….everywhere there were memories.
We decided to just pack up and move to Georgia… there was no plans.. no job lined up…we just went for it. I have to tell you it saved my sanity. As much as I think of him everyday and miss him more than words can express not having the constant visual memories of our lives together is the best decision I made in my own healing. Your loved one’s live forever in your heart and want you to do what you need to do to heal.
I promise it will get easier…….in time.
I am very sorry for your loss. I can appriciate your decision to leave the place of your hurt behind. I commend the brave face, and constant smile you have shown us through all your hurt. It has been a pleasure having you in Atlanta. Thank you Dagmar for all you brought to Atlanta and to the CBS viewers. May happiness and good fortune find you where ever you may be.
Please know that you will not be far from my thoughts and prayers. We have to take these awful things in life and learn from them to turn them into good. It gives us a sensitivity towards people and their sufferings. It gives us insight into who we are and into the motives of people. We learn more about ourselves in the storm than we can when skies are clear and sunny. Agonizing as the lesson is to learn maybe with the wisdom and insight gained the lesson becomes worth the pain and heartache. And we can use this as motivation to make the world a more loving place by connecting with people in a real way. Seasons change just like our lives are constantly rearranged but the skies will always be sunny again
D When you have time go to http://www.hebronchurch.org Larry Wynn the pastor did a thing about navigating life’s storm. It is very good
Dagmar,

May GOD go with you always and hold you in the palm of his hand
Words cannot express the void that was left in the hearts of Atlantans when you left CBS. Your love for nature, the beautiful descriptions of sunsets,your smiling face, your weather forecasts included hints about what to wear, and what to watch out for- – - you cared! My heart aches for what you have been through, and I can surely understand your reasoning for leaving. Just know that we will never forget you. I know that you will be in my prayers for sure! Take care of yourself!
My heart goes out to you Dagmar, I lost 2 best friends but not a spouse. I am going to miss you on the weather, your spirit is so playful and joyful. I can’t count the # of times my mom & I commented on how fun you were to watch! At least at this point you know what steps you need to take next. I actually left LA to come here, although I am 2nd guessing that one. Where ever you go, your smile will shine a light so bright through the hearts of everyone in your path. Thank you for giving me many joyous moments in a time, and place, that also hasn’t been exactly good for me either. Live each day to the fullest, laugh, eat some cookies, and love. Don’t forget to learn how 2 have fun! ;p
I’m very sad for you. I don’t know what to say but perhaps picking grapefruits would be a good idea for now? It takes three years or so to start seeing things normally again unless you have a black heart which is not you.
Go easy on yourself OK?
Best regards,
Rick
Dagmar, Until I read what happened, my wife and I never new of the the tragic event you were going through. We will miss you and that smile and energy you brought to Atlanta. May G-D Bless You and we will keep you in our prayers. I personally lost someone after being married to my first wife of 31 years. My words to you is it does get easier with time but you will never forget. Wishing you nothing but the best. Regards Mickey and Charlotte Rose
Dagmar, you have been one of our favorite TV personalities, my wife and I both enjoyed seeing you every evening, and will miss you greatly.
I know you have to follow your heart, and I agree with you, otherwise your emotions will drive you crazy. Everybody will be telling you exactly what you need to do or what you need, all I can say is you know best so do whatever you need to.
However please don’t forget that we all love you dearly and will miss you very much, I wish I could give you a big hug, take care and keep in touch

Hi Dagmar. My family became acquainted with you when we relocated to Atlanta this past March and we turned on the news to your smiling face. You had the sunniest disposition we had ever seen and we just fell in love with you. We will miss you, but please take care of yourself. I believe that God and time will eventually heal all wounds. Know that your “fans” are pulling for you and we look forward to seeing your sparkling face again at some time in the future.
Dagmar, sorry for your loss, you will be fine, you always made me smile. I lost my wife, my love, 5 years ago and she was my salvation after many years alone (Vietnem does strange things to people). I did not know how to keep going, but my Siberian Husk kept me on track I know tou love animals and, hey try one, they are love personified. Be safe and well, Michael.
I looked forward each day @ 4:00 to see you and your reports. I have been away from CBS and did not watch it much until the past year. For the past few weeks I thought you were on vacation and today decided to go on line to see if I could find out what was going on. Speaking for myself, it is a loss for Atlanta and CBS because you will never be replaced. May peace and hope go with you wherever you go.
I am watching Jen Valdez and asking what happened to Dagmar? I became curious and found this site. I am so sorry for your loss Dagmar. You were the sunshine on my TV screen, I always looked forward to the 6PM CBS news. Hope you find peace, we will miss you!
Dagmar,I am very sad to learn you are leaving Atl.I knew something was up on wgcl 46,I had a feeling something was wrong,this station can’t seem to keep people.The changes get old.You are the best thing that ever happened to the station and I will miss you.I always wanted to try and contact you but did not thinking you would never respond.A lunch date would have been awesome,just to meet you would have been awesome.Maybe I have waited too long to try,I wish you luck and hapinness where ever you go,You have a great personality and a ton of looks to boot.Thank you for all you have done for Atl and putting a smile on my face.Good luck and take care.A sad fan ,Kerry
God Speed Dagmar. My husband Bert and I will hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Our best to you as you move on to a happier time and new discoveries.

im sorry for your loss and wish you well dagmar. “remembering is good if you dont let it be the fear of you”- erykah badu
Hi D,
Take the time to look after yourself. Everyone deals with loss differently and you need to do what is right for you. Remember that you can’t control the actions of others and time will become your friend. All the best to you and take care of yourself.
Can’t believe you’re gone from the Atlanta area. You were the reason for watching the news, (who cares if it was going to rain)
Hope you find the peace and serenity you seek.
Gerry
will miss you nightly, please get yourself well as best you can for the situation, good luck in life your a wonderful person!
We miss you very much, but I understand that sometimes is a need to move on. Please keep in touch you are always in my house at 6 and 11. Is not the same without you. Atlanta lost a great person and a great newscast. I wish you the best you deserve it.
You are missed here. Your special energy and presence brightened the city while you were here. Very sorry for your loss and I hope the good memories will travel at your side as you find your newer purpose.
“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” Kahlil Gibran
Dagmar,
I was away on a cruise to Alaska and just returned and learned of your departure.
I certainly understand your decision and am very sorry that this tragic event has entered into your life.
I always admired your professionalism and your energetic attitude during the weather reports along with your good looks. You should have no problem finding work out there with your vibrant personality.
Again I am sorry to see you go for you will be greatly missed. Good luck to you and I hope to see where you land in the near future … and who will be lucky enough to have you on their payroll.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your partner. Your pictures and your trip seems refreshing and perhaps healing. We enjoyed you while you in Atlanta. Hope to keep in touch with you.
Best wishes always!
Dagmar, I didn’t realize that you had moved. I kept thinking you were on a leave of absence or something. Finally I decided to search for you online. You made the best decision for you, and I applaud that.
However, I just want to say that you were always like a beacon of light on the Atlanta news. Someone that joyful can’t help but infect those watching you. The West Coast is fortunate to have your positive energy in their midst.
My wife and I have been in Washington D.C. acting as hospice caregivers for my mother who recently passed away from an aggressive malignant brain tumor. Upon our return to Atlanta we were surprised you were not appearing on channel 46 any longer. Unfortunately, we just today learned the reasons for your absence; we wish you well, joy and peace. You were a regular member of our evenings for several years and will be remembered. You were a positive force and we shared your love of animals. Best regards.
I just found your blog and love all of your pictures! Please keep posting them – I hope that this move will help you in your recovery for the loss of your loved one. I will enjoy keeping up with you on your journey! Thank you for sharing -
I missed seeing you for months and wondering what’s going on. I decided to google about you today and find out your lost and now i know why you disappeared from CBS. I feel sorry for you and hope you the best of luck. You definitely will move on and recover. You are very strong and made a great decision. If you need a friend to talk to, please email me I will be glad to accommodate. Wish you drive safe to LA there. Your friends and family are waiting for you. Good luck & take care.
Come back! Please, please, come back to Atlanta TV.
When you are ready. God bless you. Remember, God didn’t do it. There’s a reason for our suffering and all will end well (to say the least) with The Lord. It’s just a time/contrast thing.
I’m sure any network will pay TRIPLE, to get you back!
You really should, be kind to us all and, go straight into movies, too!
You have the number one, best attitude, of anyone I have ever seen on TV. That’s much more, than just looks; which you are well blessed with, too. You were the most beautiful meteorologist ever; inside and out. I miss you!
After watching the news, and the weather, tonight, I got to wondering once again about what in the world happened to Dagmar. I’m so sorry about your loss. I can definitely understand your need to leave Atlanta.
I want to share with you just how much we enjoyed watching you on TV here in Atlanta. Strangely, it felt like you were one of the family. It didn’t start out that way. When you first started doing the weather here, I made the comment that I didn’t like you because you were just so darn cheery, it couldn’t possibly be real…and who names there child Dagmar anyway!..lol But you won me over once I realized what a truly genuine person you were.
I wish you the best of luck in healing and finding your way to happiness again.
The only event that was worst than Dagmar announcing her leaving Atlanta on Sept.3,2010 was when Gen. Sherman telegraphed Washington on Sept.3 1864 that he had captured and burned Atlanta during the Civil War.Since I was born in Atlanta I have some sympathy.
I liked the way you presented news stories and weather forecasts. I pray that the Good Lord will bless you, heal you, and make you whole again… and that you’ll find happiness again in your life. God bless you, Dagmar.
So sorry for your loss. Last year I lost 4 of my family members,and to this day I’m still going through the emotions of their loss. Even though we understand the reason for you leaving,the city of Atlanta will never be the same without you. You brought a ray of sunshine to the viewers and Atlanta that will probably never be replaced. As you begin the next chapter in your life,I wish you the best of luck. Thank you and God speed. “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.” Casey Kasem
Its been awhile since seeing you on the news just not the same without you on there. You made the weather really classy. Come back to Atlanta at least as a guest surprise sometime. Your fans need ya! Let all of us know if you are on. Keep feeling better.

Tweet I am saddened by the Gulf shore visitors and, in general, their response to the growing crisis. I actually saw a shot of a beach-goer who was in tears because his “vacation was ruined” as he watched the beginnings of the spill wash ashore. This was promptly followed by parents venting about having to change their...

Well put, and people think the Me Generation is a thing of the past.
so true Dagmar. this planet,and EVERYTHING in it,including ourseleves and all creatures great and small was intrusted to us to care for. and sadly for the most part we have failed miserably. VERY SAD.
Very true… People have become so selfish and short-sighted, they fail to see the bigger picture. You can plan another vacation, another destination, but the impact of this spill is greater than some tarnished beaches.
So true, I’ve had to recluse myself from the news a lot lately becuz it’s just too much for me. It’s either I go write some music & vent, or I go down to the Gulf & beat up Tony Hayward!
Here’s an interesting video about Microbes that could clean up the spill 8^0

Bravo Dagmar! One team one mission for taking care of our beautiful earth.

Tweet I LOVE this recipe for raw (and surprisingly enough) dairy free chocolate pudding! Soooooooooooo good, but it does require a little bit of time and patience not just to find the ingredients but to whip up a batch. Trust me, it’s well worth the effort. From one of my favorite books Raw Food: Real...
