January 3, 2010: Well, as most people who access this site know by now, I was offered a job as a meteorological intern at the NWS in Anchorage, AK this past October and moved up to Alaska in November. It has been a challenge to get acquainted with such a new geographic area and its associated weather patterns, but I am enjoying every minute of my new job.
Unfortunately, my move to Alaska leaves the state of this site in limbo. I have not yet fully decided how I will tailor this site to fit the new climate I am in. Since I doubt I will do much of any storm chasing in the next few years, the Chase Logs page will be turned into more of a weather journal focused on all weather phenomena I encounter. The storm chasing page will remain focused on MN severe weather--no use tailoring that page for Alaska. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise, since I can take a break from chasing and work on other parts of the site. For now I will just try to maintain the site in its current state.
