After 23 years as chief meteorologist for KDKA, Jeff Verszyla was let go by the station on Fri., Dec. 14. Many have speculated why he was fired, and fans have expressed outrage.
If nailing a "dry slot prediction" in 2017 doesn't guarantee a paycheck in 2018, do any of us really have job security?Jeff Verszyla was only one that nailed dry slot prediction that derailed the “massive” snow of march 2017...and he still got fired late 2018. Jeff was only good one at KDKA
