So I've been thinking about blogging for a couple weeks now...and now I can't remember what I was going to write about. How awesome am I? Well I guess today can be a quick reflection on the past year.
A Year ago yesterday I started my Job at the NWS Wichita!
I am so very excited about this milestone...while it really isn't anything special in the grand scheme of things, but in my world it's very exciting! I started my job arriving just after an ice/snow storm, and this year...mon/tues was a snow storm in Wichita. So I've now got 2 years of storms and so I'm now going to keep a record. We are back to what I call our weekly storm. Another storm system is coming through early next week. Fun times! Welcome Winter! blech!
Well things I've done or learned in this great year.
in no particular order....
answering the phone and being able to answer the public's questions.
how to better forecast the weather with the knowledge I have
how to use and become proficient at GFE
how to use WarnGen
how to issue warning products
writing AFD's
doing the TAF's
Plus much much more. I learn something new just about every day! Yesterday I was at a conference/meeting about Water and Energy. Suprisingly interesting and informative. Things I never thought I'd learn. I'm happy to help out in any and all areas. I'm so thankful that I'm in Wichita with my dream job! I will be sad the day I leave for my next position.
This anniversary date brings many good things, so I'm thankful all around!
Much love!
