about whether the weather

This group is for the purpose of discussing weather in all its manifistations. It is not a forum for discussing the political issues surrounding climate change.

Topics will range from general discussions of weather-related events, weather types and conditions, emergency bulletins, scientific and lay discussions on all facets of weather observation, prediction, and models.

The group is open to anyone who is interested in any facet of the field of meteorology. Members are encouraged to write articles describing weather-related events that affected them personally, monographs on the varied aspects of weather and forecasting, and any other weather-related topic as they may deem appropriate.

Do members get graded on the papers?

No grades, but if you are running a computer model and you get it wrong, we will make fun of you. :)

Thanks for this group! Everyone talks about the weather! :-) I went to NCSU for meteorology.

I woke last night around 3am to the sound of some serious rumbling going on...YES! Our rain gauge showed almost a 1/4 inch of rain.

In Kenly~~~

I've loved learning about weather ever since I was in ground school to get my private pilot license back in '86. Hurricanes are most fascinating to me. I like to watch the changes in the atmospheric pressure readings from the hurricane hunters. I have often sent messages to Greg Fishel and other WRAL meteorologists about what is the best source of learning about weather. Never got any responses.

I was fortunate enough to see the aftermath of Katrina in Waveland MS two days after the storm. Waveland is where the eye came ashore. Unbelievable destruction. It basically wiped the town off the map.

Hopefully, this group will become the best source for information regarding weather events and issues. I've got some plans to get outside people involved in writing articles and answering posts.

"I was fortunate enough to see the aftermath of Katrina"

Ahhhh...first potential topic of discussion.

When someone makes a statement like that, folks who do not understand the facination with weather will jump on it, making all sorts of comments about how inhumane we are for glossing over the human tragedy often associated with severe events. They do not understand that while we have empathy and concern for those injured or killed, our focus is on the weather event itself and the underlying science behind the storm.

Just because we are facinated an enamored with the destruction a massive hurricane is capable of does not mean that we wish it upon anyone or seek to diminish the loss of life, limb, and property.

Steve- You said what I should have about qualifying the fascination. I would never wish the kind of carnage on anyone like I saw in MS. I saw first hand, the victims, and felt there pain. I talked with hundreds of the survivors and they all just wanted someone to talk to. Oh well, I guess I'm getting off topic. This should be a great group.
