MacDonald, who is on the autism spectrum, spends his time making videos to warn people of big weather events all over the world. They get thousands of views, and people even thank him in the comment the section for his no-nonsense, high-volume weather reports.

Now, all the way from his home in Nova Scotia, he’s warning Colorado residents about the massive snowstorm headed our way.

“[The storm's] going to bring a lot of snow, very strong winds. It’s going to cause dangerous, treacherous driving conditions” MacDonald said in his video.

The 9NEWS weather team loves that the storm is on MacDonald’s radar.

"I love his passion. I think that’s what people love about it right?” 9NEWS meteorologist Kylie Bearse said. “When you see someone that's so incredibly passionate, I mean he goes and finds the biggest winter storms that are happening and just delivers it in a way that people just love."

The storm MacDonald's forecasting is expected to hit Denver between Wednesday and Thursday, and according to MacDonald, it’s going to be massive.

“People in Denver, Colorado, be prepared!” he said.
