Meteorologist Amy Freeze – yes, her real name – is known for her approachable style and extensive experience tracking weather from coast to coast. Growing up in Jeffersonville, Indiana as the oldest of five sisters, Freeze cultivated a lifelong passion for science, sports and storytelling. From her roots as a collegiate cheerleader to becoming a trusted weather authority, Freeze’s dynamic career spans five states, multiple television markets, and thousands of impactful weather broadcasts. She currently hosts “Thin Ice with Amy Freeze,” available wherever you stream your podcast.
Freeze has covered everything from ice storms and blizzards to heat waves, hurricanes and tornadoes, earning recognition for her ability to deliver accurate forecasts with clarity, calmness and urgency when needed. Her broadcasting experiences are as diverse as forecasting for marathon runners facing tropical storm force winds on the Verrazano Bridge, reporting from hot air balloons over New Jersey, and braving historically frigid conditions at Soldier Field during the coldest game in Chicago Bears history.
Beyond television she frequently engages with audiences through guest lectures, school visits, and training sessions for first responders and meteorologists nationwide, always emphasizing that weather is a conversation that everyone can join.
Freeze’s adventurous spirit has led her to swim with sharks, skydive in Hawaii, and fly with the Blue Angels. She’s also known for appearing as herself in films, being featured in clues on Jeopardy and being named best forecaster in New York City by viewers.
Amy embraces life’s everyday challenges and milestones-from early motherhood, adoption caregiving, navigating single parenthood, and finding love after 40- as opportunities to connect deeply with others, reinforcing her belief that understanding our own stories helps us better understand the stories of others.
