Those on the East Coast of the United States who are expecting more than a few "fluffy little clouds" to come their way thanks to Hurricane Sandy may not be aware that the originator of that phrase, painter Bob Ross, would have been 70 years-old on Monday.

However, Google is commemorating the event with a Google Doodle that shows Ross in his prime with his permed Afro, beard and a squirrel on his shoulder.

Ross, the creator and host of PBS's The Joy of Painting, died in 1995. However, his legend lives on. In July, PBS released a songified video made up of some of Ross's iconic moments. The video was a sequel of sorts to PBS Digital Studios' Mister Rogers remix in June.
