Eubank was famous for wearing a white sports coat throughout a broadcast preceding or during a snow fall.

Indian weather lore such as a Thunder Moon and a Sun dog was often used in his broadcasts.

He was known for his extreme enthusiasm for weather that would usually result in a variety of odd sound effects including: Bing, bowg, boink, boing, boiiiiing, bowk, hah, haaah!, (tearing sound), (squashed sound), ohhhh, goooomph, ziiiing, zoooom, (sound of car stopping suddenly), phhhht, eeerrrrrrumble-rumble-rumble, (slurping sound), sheeewhhhh, oh-oh, vooomph, voom, wonk, vooop, whhktw, waawaa, waaaa, waaam, and zeeek.

"Never trust a split jet stream" was an often repeated phrase during his weather reports.

Eubank also quoted John Ruskin regularly, saying "There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."
