The hobby has led to a friendship with Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel, who spoke to Trout on-air about the impact the snowstorm had on the All-Star’s hometown of Millville, N.J. Deadspin has a full video of the Trout’s phone interview.
“So Trouty, has this one delivered to your expectations?” Cantore asked.

“It’s been crazy, for sure,” Trout said Saturday. “Obviously, up all night — up every hour checking the measurements. We’ve probably got about a foot, and it’s coming down steady right now. The wind is the worst part about it, it’s blowing hard. There’s probably, by my parents’ house, four-to-five-to-six foot drifts. The roads are terrible … It’s awesome, I love it.
“I can’t complain, man. It’s all I can ask for, is 12 inches of snow.”
Trout even provided the Weather Channel with video of the dangerous conditions on Friday night.
