In addition to being a celebrated artist and folklorist, he was TV's first weatherman, and his books on weather constitute unique works of history, lore, and practical information.

The following is a personality profile of Eric Sloane based on his work.
Eric Sloane is inner-directed, skeptical and can be perceived as insensitive.
He is independent, he has a strong desire to have time to himself. He is calm-seeking as well: he prefers activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. But, Eric Sloane is also philosophical: he is open to and intrigued by new ideas and loves to explore them.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for discovery.
He is relatively unconcerned with both taking pleasure in life and achieving success. He prefers activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. And he makes decisions with little regard for how they show off his talents.
