We teach that it was a thing once. And that meteorologists still use it. The rest of my COBOL knowledge came from my dad :)

  Why would meteorologists use COBOL? Wouldn't FORTRAN be more likely?

    I can't find anything in Google, but if this was a game show and I had to guess, I'd say that the modeling is/was done in FORTRAN, but the reporting was done with COBOL.

      Correction: I probably meant FORTRAN, thanks!
