I don't know if you can do it.' And I did." "My boss caught the first one I did and thought it was cool and then the next day I ran into him in the hall and he's like 'Oh, today's a pretty tough word. "It seemed like not only just a fun thing for me, but other people weren't doing it so I figured I'd stick with it," Krueger said. The game was becoming popular, and he was inspired to come up with his own kind of word-of-the-day game. The idea of hiding little Easter eggs in his forecasts came to Krueger randomly sometime in early 2021 while playing Wordle. He also previously worked at KABB in San Antonio and KHAS in Nebraska. Prior to his time in Houston, Krueger lived in Austin for 12 years while working at Spectrum News. He moved to Texas in 2006 and joined the CW39 Houston morning news team as a meteorologist in 2020. "It's like a puzzle or a brain exercise."Ī Chicago native, Krueger earned his meteorology degree from Purdue University. The most difficult challenge was the word "ionic." "We had some kind of thunderstorms around that time and I went into this explanation about the ionic charge between the cloud and the ground and how lightning would form," Krueger said. "I was talking about how the whole country was freezing so I said, '49, er actually 50 states are freezing if you include the Hawaii mountaintops,'" he said. However, the challenge Krueger is most proud of was his ability to include the names of several NFL team names, including the 49ers. In another recent forecast that garnered over 2.2 million views on the social media platform, Krueger featured lyrics from rapper Tupac's track "California Love." Replying to Tupac in the weather?

"My new favorite brand of content," another comment read. "Bro was risky with this one," wrote another. "That was smooth," commented one follower. Video of Krueger pulling off this particularly clever feat (ahem) was posted to TikTok in December and has since garnered over 6.4 million views and over 866,000 likes.

"Take a look at the snow they're getting in parts of Colorado," Krueger said in the clip "This is Steamboat, which by the way, is a great place to do some skiing. One of his most popular clips is of a forecast where he was able to covertly include the phrase "I like feet."

Soon after, Krueger started bringing in movie quotes, pop culture references, song lyrics from artists like Eminem, Sir Mix-a-Lot and The Weeknd, as well as odd phrases requested of his followers in the comments. For example, Krueger's first challenges involved incorporating the word of the day from the popular online word guessing game Wordle.
