Hey - it's meteorologist John Hickey and welcome to On With John Weather Consulting. Weather has always been fascinating to me. I grew up skiing with my parents most weekends in the winter in New England. In the warmer months, we were hiking, biking, and catching Red Sox games at Fenway. All of these activities were weather centric.
I wanted to learn about how to make accurate weather predictions and how to share those forecasts with others who spent as much time outdoors as we did. I got my B.S. in meteorology from Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vermont. The Northeast Kingdom of Vermont was the perfect place for a guy like me to ski & bike my way to an education with Burke Mountain and the Kingdom Trails at the doorstep.
I worked at several TV stations across the Northeast before landing in Northeast PA. No matter where I worked, I've made it a point to explore the outdoor activities each area has to offer. Whether it was hiking the Finger Lakes, PA Grand Canyon, or Adirondacks; skiing my favorite areas in Vermont; or biking through the Champlain Valley, I've always felt most in touch with the areas I live by spending time outside in them
Now after nearly a decade and a half of doing weather on television, it was time to "shoot my shot" and tackle a new weather challenge. Private industry weather forecasting is the fastest growing sector in the world of meteorology. I'm proud to offer a variety of services from public facing three day forecasts & weekly space weather segments as well as private subscription based services such as long range forecasts, school district delay/closing decision support, outdoor event forecasts, & much more. My experience in forecasting the intricacies of Northeast PA weather as well as the time outside exploring it allows me to create the most trusted forecast in NEPA

We faithfully use On With John daily to plan our weekly schedule. It's important for us to see current and future forecasts in the fruit farming industry. This way we can see upcoming temperature and precipitation trends to determine our daily tasks. At this time of the year,if we see a cold forecast it's time to position the frost fans. It's a no nonsense weather forecast which we appreciate!"
We are incredibly grateful for the partnership and expertise of John Hickey, whose weather guidance has been an invaluable asset to the Abington Heights School District. His forecasts are not only accurate but consistently timely—allowing us to make well-informed decisions that prioritize the safety of our students and staff. Whether it's preparing for winter storms, monitoring severe weather threats, planning for outdoor graduation or just around changing conditions, John's clear communication and professionalism have made a meaningful difference. We appreciate his thoughtful, data-driven approach and his steady presence during high-pressure decisions.
I have always enjoyed John's style of forecasting but most importantly his accuracy when it matters most. As a landscaper the weather makes up a vital part of our workday and with John's morning briefings I am able to plan our day accordingly for our crews. Another bonus in this platform is being a subscriber which gives us valued intel of what to prepare for past the 3 day forecast.
