Accu-Weather forecasts
from Happy Valley house
By JOHN MITCHELL
Collegian Staff Writer
"Sunny today and hot tomale" might be the weather
forecast heard in Mexico City this awning, and surprisingly,
that forecast relay have been formulated by Accu-Weather in
State College.
Accu-Weather is a private weather forecast service owned
and operated.in State College by Joel MyerS. part-time lec
turer in meteorology at the University.
The service forecasts weather for city governments, private
companies, ski areas, and for radio and television.
Although Mexico City is not one of the 190 clients served by
Accu-Weather, its distance from State College is not the
reason. Accu-Weather can forecast weather for any location
in the country s frOm its unassuming location in a house at 622
W. College Avenue.
• .According to Accu-Weather meteorologist Elliot - Abrams,
high speed teletype machines and a facsimile machine bring
weather information from around the country to Accu-
Weather's office, which consists of several rooms on the first
floor. The "facs" machine produces 128 weather maps daily
and is provided by the National Weather Service, Abrams
said.
Myers started the service in 1963 when a local gas company
and a ski area wanted more specific weather forecasts than
the National Weather Service could offer.
"We don't claim to be more accurate than the National
Weather Service, but we tailor our service to our clients'
needs," Abrams said.

time at Accu-Weather. He has been interested in following the
weather and forecasting since high school. When he arrived at
Penn State, he wanted to get some experience in the field.
"I heard of Accu-Weather on KYW-radio in Philadelphia,
and I was curious when I heard the guys giving weather
discussions on the air. I contacted Dr. Meyers when I got here,
and he gave me a chance to work at Accu-Weather.
"I plot weather maps. phone in forecasts, and do a little
forecasting which is overseen by the professional forecasters
here," Brody said.
In the last several years, the service has grown to include 17
radio and television stations, mostly in the "middle-Atlantic
region.
Although Accu-Weather gets its fame from its customers in
the broadcast media, the major part of its business comes
from service to city geyernments and municipalities. The
firm is especially busy in the winter months forecasting snow.
Abrams said.
Municipalities may pay thousands of dollars per hour for
snow removal operations in theft. jurisdiction, Abrams said
Precise forecasting of when the snow will start, how long it
will fall, and how much will fall is important when deciding
whether snow crews should be_gin salting the roads or
plowing, he added.
Accu-Weather forecasts for practically all the major ski
areas in the North and Northeast part of the country. Abram:,
said. He said the ski areas need precise temperature forecasts
as well as other information to be used in deciding what type
of maintenance is required to keep the slopes in good con
dition.
