What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Rain Date is a true American success story and a great example of the saying, ‘The cream always rises to the top.’ Nick was able to overcome huge adversities in life, but instead of playing the victim card, he used them to his advantage to become successful. Highly recommended reading for kids and adults of all ages.” —Jim Eberwine, retired National Weather Service Meteorologist “Nick Pittman has always been more than a meteorologist—he’s a storyteller with heart, hustle, and a true love for the communities he serves. Rain Date pulls back the curtain on the grind, the grit, and the grace it takes to build trust in an era of fragmented attention and viral misinformation. It’s funny, raw, inspiring—and most of all, it’s real.” —Bill Murray, Chief Operating Officer, Alabama Weather Network “Nick’s story will be an inspiration for many readers. A living example of how energy follows intention. What you think, you create. And if you love weather, it’s a great peek behind the curtain on how weather forecasts are made and delivered.!” —Tony Pann, WBAL-TV 11 Baltimore Meteorologist “In this deeply moving and inspiring memoir, ‘Nor’Easter’ Nick Pittman takes readers on a journey through the storms of his youth—both literal and emotional. This book is not just a celebration of overcoming adversity; it’s a heartfelt reminder that sometimes the biggest breaks in life come from being pushed to take a chance without seeing the opportunity for yourself.” —Dr. Damiso A. Josey, CEO, The Empowerment Perspective Group “Proof that with perseverance and authenticity, anyone can build a life and legacy from humble beginnings. It is an inspiring tale of resilience, reinvention, and pursuing your dreams no matter the odds.” —Peter Galeta, Creator, The CDX Method
