Where is Lisa Argen. Is she no longer with ABC. Does anyone know? We miss her!
You are a great meteorologist. I love your style. Too bad others do not take your lead. You are also a role model. Thanks.
What a mean comment, Marie! She has a great figure and I think her clothes are really nice and look great on her. Please take your judgement elsewhere.
Lisa, where do you get those ugly dresses? Does the station make you wear them?
Hi Lisa,
We love you so much. You are a great asset to our city. Thanks for choosing us!
