An Interview With Paul Yeager

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist

Published Aug 18, 2008 3:59 PM EDT | Updated Aug 18, 2008 4:32 PM EDT

Copied

One of our own, blogger Paul Yeager is retiring* from the weather game after being a meteorologist at AccuWeather for 23 years and wrote a blog here for the past several, while filling the position of Chief Editor for AccuWeather.com. Outside of AccuWeather, Paul had recently published a book called "Literally, the Best Language Book Ever: Annoying Words and Abused Phrases You Should Never Use Again." He's quite the grammar affectionado, and will continue to blog about proper grammar on his website.

Since Paul had been at AccuWeather for so long, I took part of his last day at AccuWeather to interview him on the changes he's seen in the weather game over the years:

JESSE: So what was it like working at AccuWeather in 1985?

JESSE: How was making a forecast then different than making one today?

JESSE: What computer forecast model(s) did they have then?

JESSE: What computer equipment did AccuWeather have?

JESSE: What are some of your favorite experiences from your years at AccuWeather?

JESSE: Were there clients that you served during all or most of your time here?


Paul's last blog entry read:

*P.S.: He's not retiring (literally) - just moving on to a new career.
