Today, many schools in the Country closed either due to a Winter Storm coming in or already hitting the area. My school and many others in New York closed today as the Winter Storm neared the Western NY area; although the storm really didn’t get here until about 8am this morning, they closed for the Safety of the students and staff.

I thought it was great to have a day off right before break starts, which happens to start on Wednesday, December 24th. Currently, winds are still powerful, we have 2 foot drifts and 11 inches or more snow.

Over the past, well, long time, people have told me that I should be a meteorologist. That is mostly because they ask me what the weather is suppose to be and I am usually able to tell them within 15 to 20 minutes, since I do not completely go after what the Professionals say. Thanks to NOAA/NWS, I am able to see Radars, Satellite Imagery and more…

With that information, I produce some basic information on what the weather could possibly be like for the next few days. Generally, I am right on – because I also look at where the Highs and Lows are positioned across the country to see what Temperatures could be, as well. Barely ever do my parents ever really watch the weather in detail, usually they come to me, “What is the Weather looking like for tomorrow?”. And it starts the prediction process for me.

Also, I’ve been the center of attention; since we’re talking and learning about Weather. I know a lot of what my science teacher is teaching and it gets annoying to learn something I already know, but that is beyond the point. My science teacher has told some of my other teachers about it and he asked me, “Will you be forecasting for Channel 7 some day in the future?” and I’m like “I don’t know, maybe!”.

Do you think I will be, becoming a meteorologist? It is on my list of things to do as a career.

I’ve always preferred Stormy or Wintery days over Clear and Nice Days; because I like tracking the storms like the Guys at the Weather Channel in Atlanta. I always love when a hurricane is coming near the Gulf or the East coast, not because of the damage that it can cause; but, because I can see the storm in action and I am able to track it.

With that said, lets say, Meteorology is on my top 5 careers that I’d like to do. More of those careers will be featured on my blog in the future.
