I am back from Norfolk, Virginia ! The National Weather Association's (NWA) Annual Meeting was a success. Five days of great speakers and suburb content. It also gave me a chance to network, see old friends and to recertify. I have now recertified my NWA Seal of Approval, which has to be done every 3 years in order to keep it. I needed 10 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to satisfy my requirement. Instead, I earned 12 CEUs by attending all 5 days and filled half a notebook.

I think I now have enough blogging material to last me for quite awhile. LOL.

Some highlights included talks from NOAA and National Weather Service about the latest on
Dual Polarization Radar (also called Dual-Pol) and the timeframe to replace the WSR-88Ds
Phased Array Radar (PAR)
and the 1 inch Hail criteria for Severe Thunderstorms.

Observing Road Weather Conditions Using Passenger Vehicles was quite interesting as well.
Their is some information from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO that you may like as far as the future is concerned. I will be blogging more about this, too.

P.S. I am still looking for advertisers, big or small. If you or someone you know would be interested in buying an ad, send me an e-mail on the link below.

While the URL may be different, the weather blog and its cutting-edge content will stay the same. From now until November 1st, I want to use this blog as a brainstorming tool. Give me ideas on what you want to see. There have been some great suggestions made by you so far. Keep them coming.

Since opportunity is what you make of it, the next week is going to be fun. It will give us a chance to learn more about each other, share videos, and tell stories.

It will also give me a chance to re-charge my battery, so to speak, and explore new opportunities.

By the time November arrives, I will have
my long-range winter forecast.

Thanks for joining me.
