Perhaps he is retiring?
Joe predicted before New Years that the east coast would be very cold for the weeks coming up. He was spot on.
Communist fist is tightening.
The beginning of the Fox Weather Network....
Why are you posting week old news?
=8-)
We all know what this was about.
Joe was a good cyber friend. I’d email him some detailed weather obs from my neck of the woods (especially during big snow events) and he’d send back some not-ready-for-prime time forecast information....usually spot on.
I’d wondered why my last email bounced back “undeliverable”....
May be Fox News is replacing Janice Dean with this guy. They did replace Dominica Davis with Maria Molina.
There is an article in the WP also:
Joe Bastardi resigns from AccuWeather
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/2011/02/joe_bastardi_resigns_from_accu.html
“He also frequently appeared as a weather and climate commentator on Fox News”
Let’s hope he will continue to appear on Fox News or that they will hire him full time.
Must have been forced out somehow. Why else? He was enemy #1 for the ClimateGate mafia.
Btt
Aww... I’m sorry to hear that Joe is leaving AccuWeather. My husband and I are big fans of his. Maybe Fox News will hire him full time?
32 years is long enough. He probably wanted to retire and enjoy life. People should do this more often. We always want politicians to do this. I mean McCain is in his 70’s and still working....ridiculous. He has plenty of money to enjoy what years he has left.
I wonder if PSU had anything to do with this...?
In Penn State visit, Obama stresses energy efficiency, innovation
I'll bet PSU is involved in Bastardi's leaving.
“He was also known for his disbelief of the theories of global warming.”
Once you put Joe’s resignation into context you just about know what happened.
John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel, simply said “The Weather Channel was hijacked.”.
