In the recent live video, he was joined by his co-anchor Heather, who he frequently makes these types of videos with. The pair typically go live to answer fan questions and give updates on what they're up to. Only this time, they gave everyone a glimpse of their next moves.

"So we were just discussing we're both gonna be on vacation," Heather said as the Live began. "Yeah, so, I leave Wednesday night," Sam said. "You're not here Thursday either, right?" he asked Heather. Heather then confirmed she would be gone multiple days. "So next week, you guys, we're gone," Sam confirmed.

"I hope you get a chance to get away too at some point soon," he told viewers. Sam added that fans were now going to "miss him" as he will be away from the studio.

The ‘GMA’ star recently shared a post about the damage to his personal property. The 61-year-old meteorologist has an impressive rooftop garden where he takes care of his plants. Although, they were recently destroyed due to an inspection of Sam’s building and all his efforts to preserve and care for them were wasted. Sam, who was frustrated with his uncalled and unprepared move, later slammed the New York City government for their abrupt inspections.

He shared a post with the caption, “Sad day in the rooftop garden NYC inspection on our building means I had to tear out the garden. Everything is in pots, but no guarantee the beautiful bushes will survive being disturbed. I’m sad and angry at the same time. The @nycgov just rolls in and starts making demands… just as everything is in bloom.”
