Railroading Rockies in the JYM GANAHL Jym Ganahl is the Chief Meteorologist for NBC 4 in Columbus, Ohio. He has been on television presenting information on weather for 43 years. He is in the Associated Press Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Jym came to NBC 4 in 1979, after serving for 12 years as weather anchor for KWWLTV in Waterloo, Iowa. A native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Jym attended the University of Northern Iowa and earned degrees in math, speech and climatology. Jym's career began at age 17 when he became the youngest weather forecaster in the country. In 1970, Jym became the youngest person ever to be granted the American Meteorologist Society Seal of Approval. The AMS seal is the highest honor a weather forecaster can receive from his peers. Long before Jym had a love of weather, he had a love of trains. As a kid, he would run to greet the California Zephyr every day as it rolled through Burlington, Iowa. He even has a running model of this exact train, and every floor of his house has trains. Jym has previously hosted the Great California Train Adventure and invites NBC4 viewers to join him on this fabulous adventure to the Canadian Rockies.
