About the Author
Some say I'm obsessed with the weather. Some say I have too much time on my hands, and some people have just accepted the fact that I love the weather. It started when I was 12. In 6th grade. My elementary school teacher, Mr. Smith, asked to bring in the 8 A.M. temperature from one T.V. or radio station. I brought both. We were then asked to do a mock news report. I did the weather, full with precipitation forecasts, winds, temperatures. You name it, I mentioned it. Later in Junior High School, I put the weather maps on the homeroom chalkboard every morning. This is how I became known as "The Weather Kid".
As the years went on, I became more fascinated with weather to the point were I went to Oswego State for Meteorology. Al Roker had went, so I figured why shouldn't I! I wound up taking a track in Broadcasting, figuring I would do the weather on TV. I worked at the campus TV station doing the nightly weather. It was fun, but after graduation passed I got caught up in technology.
While my passion for weather has never faded, it's become a great hobby...
