Martin Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow this is a surprise! JB is a pretty cool guy and you gotta give him credit for calling it like he sees it. I wonder where he is going next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Had to have been fired-no hint this was coming from him at least... That is what I thought. How does he just do a video update this morning and not say anything, and then just disappear without saying goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allman15 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 No, he wasn't fired. Clarification: Paul will be taking over our Commercial clients; Henry Margusity will be doing Joe's video and blogs on Pro, for now anyway. henry SUCKS...bring back JOE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasnt fired then I wonder if he's had something going for awhile and now that that is set, he chose today to give his notice....wouldnt be surprised to see him on his own with his own website (at $14.95 of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternLI Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 JB always portrayed a friendly attitude and is highly skilled, just likes to honk the "big time" horn. I wish him all the best in his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAwxman Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Many of us have said for awhile now he'd be better off getting out from under the AccuWx umbrella, but didn't know if he'd ever go through with it. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what everyone wants to know is, why he left AccuWeather? I wish him well. Thanks Jesse for posting here to confirm and provide updates.

Jesse Ferrell - AccuWx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 That is what I thought. How does he just do a video update this morning and not say anything, and then just disappear without saying goodbye. He didn't say "Goodbye" persay, but if you listen closely to his videos & tweets, there were a couple of "hints" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAwxman Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yes, hopefully this is the beginning of the end for them! I don't wish anyone ill will, but this is a big blow to the company in my view. Paul Pastelok is a VERY solid forecaster based on my time with him, but does not have an ounce of the name recognition as JB so we'll see how it goes.

Damage In Tolland Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I found out before noon today. He came in with his lawyer and cleaned out his stuff. He has not been happy there for a very long time, felt he was underpaid, (who isn't at Accuwx?) and if you watch his big dog today said" If you can't enjoy the wx where you are..go somewhere else where you can enjoy the wx because it 's the only wx you've got" which was his way of saying goodbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dump Accuweather!!! This is not completly correct as they still use AccuWeather. CBS3 owns 1060 AM so they started having Kathy Orr on there doing the weather from time to time.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow, this is a real shock. I mean, i just watched his videos today. I'll likely cancel for sure. I can always get bloggers like Brett Anderson and Eliot Abrams for free. I wonder where he will be headed next? I wonder if he will actually sign up for this site now and post his thoughts now that he's free from accuweather's umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
