“天气预报员”的规模从5英尺高的实体到10英尺高的内部中空亭子不等，这些亭子作为取暖小屋可供人们进入内部使用。“天气预报员”内部雕刻堆叠绝缘泡沫，外部采用石膏涂层，涂刷为各种暖色调的颜色。通过在贫瘠、寒冷的环境中引入暖色调，取暖小屋在视觉和物理上活跃了所处场地。“天气预报员”在安装开始时都处于同一地面高度。在冬季风暴期随着雪的堆积，参观者可以通过“天气预报员”这一熟悉的人体度量工具来推测降雪量。

The scale of weathermen varies from 5 feet tall non-occupiable objects to 10 feet tall pavilions with hollow structure inside, which can be occupied by people and function as warming huts. Composed of sculpted and stacked insulation foams inside and plaster coating outside, weathermen are painted in various colors in warm tone palette. Introduction of warming palette of color in barren, frigid environment enlivens the site with visual and physical presence of warming huts. “Weathermen” are all positioned on same ground elevation at the beginning of the installation. As snow piles up around the installation during winter storms, visitors can speculate amount of precipitation by using weathermen as a measuring tool with familiar human scale.
