A caller asked me this yesterday, and I didn't have a good answer. I
don't blog everyday, just whenever the notion strikes me. It is usually
the last thing I finish before I head home for the night. I've started a few
before the 10pm then waited until I finished the late show to finish them.
A friend of mine, a meteorologist in Kansas City, blogs every day.
Another, a chief meteorologist in Oklahoma City , even does a video blog
every morning from his house. It's a weather briefing he does from
his home office. He is usually not on camera, but I've seen it a couple
of times where he is sitting behind a desk wearing a t-shirt and hat.
Once I think I saw Rick in what looked like pajamas bottoms and a
old running race t-shirt. There is another weatherman I heard of this
past week, does an hour long all weather show on a radio station every
weekend.
The point is, there is a huge demand for weather information.
People continue to be fascinated by weather. It has an impact on all
our lives. And while we know more about the weather now that
we have ever known, there is still so much to learn. If you look at
my blog I post here, it is often about other subjects.
I love weather, and love talking about it. I have been fascinated
with the changes and impact of meteorology since I was young,
and I'm not alone. All of our meteorologists here here get
excited when we see a young person who has an interest in
science, engineering, and meteorology. Perhaps because we need
young minds in our field. The scinece continues to improve and
change. The technology is advancing so very fast that keeping up
is very demanding but also fun.
So while I will continue to blog about random situations and
things going on in my life. I'll also try to give you a bit more insight into
weather changes and interesting nuggets of meteorology I run
accross in getting my forecasts ready. Not everyday mind you,
but as these things come along. I'll do my best to make sure you
never see me on camera in my pajamas too. Nobody wants to see
that.
Have a good night.
