Bonnie covered Hurricane Sandy for Bloomberg Television from their world headquarters in New York City[1] While reporting on Hurricane Sandy for Bloomberg, Schneider was asked to participate on a panel for a live chat for Huffington Post Live and provide her analysis on the storm in an interview with Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee on his nationally syndicated radio show on Cumulus Media Networks.
Schneider is the co-executive producer and Extreme Weather expert for a television special airing on the DIY Network, called Last House Standing. The show, which was shot on location in California, Alabama and Florida, provides home-owners tips on how to storm-proof against earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes.
Prior to CNN, Bloomberg TV, and WXIA, Schneider had been the weekend meteorologist and special assignment reporter for "The Ten O'Clock News" on WLVI-TV in Boston. While in Boston, she also provided entertainment and lifestyle reporting as a special assignment reporter three days a week. Prior to WLVI, she was the weekend meteorologist at WFOR-TV in Miami. She has held several meteorology and reporting positions, including News 12 Long Island, a 24-hourcable news television network, and WXII-TV, the NBC affiliate in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She also worked for the CBS network in New York City as a frequent fill-in meteorologist on The Saturday Early Show.
Schneider was awarded the American Meteorological Society's seal of approval for broadcast meteorologists who achieve the highest standard of excellence in both technical weather knowledge and communication skills. She has also had the opportunity to interview a number of famous celebrities. While in New York at News 12, she earned the Associated Press Award for "Best Interview" for her half-hour special, "A Conversation with Billy Joel." She said she suffered from nerves just prior to the interview, but her uneasiness subsided after the legendary singer flashed her a smile and admitted that he watched her station's newscasts frequently and always kept an eye out for her "marine forecasts."
Bonnie was inducted into the Jericho High School Hall of Fame on April 16, 2015.
