Summer Updates and Developments!

Ahh Summer has finally set in here in the Great Pacific Northwest, and what a better time to kick off new developments for next winter. Starting in October, i'll be providing a winter forecast, as well as others. I will also be creating winter contests, hopefully maybe intertwine with some of the contest's held by AMS members in the past few years. I also want more interaction, but this will take a lot of time and patience, we currently have discussions in KPTV weather blogs and other web forums most use, so im not sure how that would work yet. Im not trying to take anything away from anyone but to help develope a better and more informational and scientific approach to the local weather community here in NW Oregon SW Washington. My plan is to create a community of local scientist who invest their time and resources in researching the weather here, climate change, how that will affect us, better ways to predict winter events and everything in between. I want to offer a place for them to show off their findings and articles, and allow people to find those articles even years later. This will be benificial in the best of ways in the future of weather forecasting here in NW Oregon. Site will also undergo the usual yearly maintinance as well as logo development, in which we are looking at redesigning the logo that we think is outdated and does not represent what im trying to do clearly. More updates to come this month! Thank you to all of you who read this blog and continue to support the cause and community, as well as this blog! Sincerely, Grant LeBlanc Head Researcher
