15 or so years ago I worked in a small company that specialized in wind predictions and was me and 10 meteorologists

I remember them saying Accuweather is close to the main campus of Penn State which has a large meteorology program. They were saying if you joined accuweather and quit you couldn't work in any weather related field for 5 years after leaving accuweather. Basically the NDA locked you in and you were a prisoner.

Not surprising from them. See this for more on their history: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-06-14/trump-s-p...
Seriously? That's disappointing. They've been my go-to for years since most other (non-weather hobbiest) weather sites have become basically unusable due to ads.
