You have to be a certain age to remember the name Peter Coade. He was the weather guy for a variety of stations in Canada, including CFRB and the CBC. (I also seem to have a dim memory of him being on the old CKEY when I was there.) 

Coade was David Phillips before David Phillips was called on by every station whenever there was a big weather story, especially after he joined Environment Canada. 

The veteran forecaster had set the record (since surpassed) for longest serving weatherman, having been prognosticating conditions for well over 50 years. 

Coade was 82.
