2020 bites! Longtime Dallas-Fort Worth weatherman bitten by rattlesnake.
The year 2020 continues to bite.
For longtime North Texas weatherman David Finfrock, literally.
The KXAS/Channel 5 legend was bitten by a rattlesnake while volunteering at a nature preserve in Cedar Hill on Monday morning.
“It is definitely 2020,” Finfrock said in a post on Facebook and Twitter. “I was volunteering this morning at Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center pulling up ragweed when I was bitten by a large rattlesnake. It evidently didn’t inject much venom and really doesn’t hurt much. But I will be under observation at the ER until mid afternoon.”
Finfrock, who has been with Channel 5 since 1975, was on the newscast late Sunday night reporting on the cold front headed to North Texas.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Mr. Finfrock!
