About Me

        I have a very strong passion for weather.  It started when I wanted to know what to wear to kindergarten.  Every morning I would watch our local weather channel then run up the stairs to get dressed.  I still do that today!  I watch the Weather Channel, my favorite weather station, in my mom’s bedroom before I come downstairs in the morning, just like when I was a little kid.  

     Now, 7 years later, I am progressing with my study in weather, but some things never change.     I was in kindergarten 7 years ago.  Now I am homeschooled.  This makes it a bit easier to learn about weather.  I have different opportunities than if I was in school.  My plan is to intern at WSCU in western CT in January.  I was also given the opportunity  to work with the head of the meteorology program at WSCU.  We will be doing a hurricane project.

      I have done a lot on the study of weather.  I took an online class right in the midst of the tornado outbreak in 2011.  Ninth Ward, Dark Water Rising, Night of the Twisters and Escaping the Giant Wave are just a few of the the books I read and/or listened to.  Hurricane tracking and tornado lapbook making are also some things that I did.  I wrote to Stephanie Abrams from the Weather Channel.  Unfortunately, I never got a reply.  I would have loved it if she wrote back and said “Please come and meet me!”  That would be a dream come true.

This is me with Erika Grow when she worked
at News Channel 8.  We were able to get
a tour of the weather station from her!

     The point of my blog is to document what I have learned.  I will write about important things that are happening with the weather.  For example one day I might do a post on the 10 day forecast in the major cities.  The next day I might write about the latest update on Hurricane Sandy.  I post about my interests in weather and hope you will follow along with me.
