As per usual, I dont have enough time to provide adequate updates to this website. And I do apologize for the people that actually read this.
However I do have some news. This guy is ENGAGED! That’s right I decided to take a big step in my life and ask a very important question to a special someone. Want to know how I did it? Check out this website:

I bought that domain a while back, and while it just now houses the video I created before popping the question, I plan on turning that into our wedding site, so STAY TUNED!
After all, they did leak the iPhone4 months before it was officially announced by Steve Jobs. Maybe they know something about this storm meteorologists dont know.

Today they are talking about the big weather event that is affecting much of the central US today and will affect the northeast US tomorrow. As of this morning there are winter weather watches/warnings spreading as far west as New Mexico, and as far east as Maine (there’s even a Tornado Watch in Louisiana!) And of course, nothing in the south east US
*shakes fist at sky*
Hey Everyone!
Just a quick update. Things are well down in Asheville North Carolina! But we can’t wait to return to New England for the holiday season!
I just wanted to point out the obvious… Technology is awesome!
How awesome? This entire post was made on my iPod touch!
While this concept is years old, I still think we have gone far in the past 10 years and can’t wait to see what’s ahead.
What’s ahead for tonight? COLD! Look at the ASOS station from Asheville:
Again. All done on the iPod 
After being in Asheville, North Carolina for a little over three weeks, it is starting to feel like home. For those of you that don’t know, I am currently working at the National Climatic Data Center. While NCDC is part of NOAA, I am currently contracted through the Cooperate Institute for Climate and Sciences. (Don’t believe me? see this). The job has been great so far, and I hope to learn a lot over the next few months.
Speaking of NCDC, they released this the other day:
According to this, July 2010 was the second warmest July on record. The warmest month occurred in 1998, which was also an El Nino year
Happy 4th of July Eve…Eve………Eve everybody! Either way we are halfway through the year of 2010. Wow is all I have to say.
The first of July tells me that I only have 29 days until my new job starts. Yup, that’s right, I got a job offer a few weeks ago and have officially accepted it. I will be working with the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites, which is located in downtown Asheville, North Carolina (same building where NCDC is located). It’s going to be a new adventure for me, as I will be permanently moving to western North Carolina. While I am excited, I am also sad to leave my friends and family behind.
On another topic, I have created a BETA version of the RUC map room. Take a look at it here and let me know what you think. My next step is to try and mix and match different displays, as the only map that is different is the RUC SBCAPE.
