Thanks for reading this Blog this morning!
I’m getting on an airplane this morning, heading to the American Meteorological Society Conference in Milwaukee. I return home Saturday. I’ll be with hundreds of my broadcast media Meteorologists from around the country — Listening and learning. I’ll have a blog update for you every morning. And, of course, you’ll still here my daily updates on the 8 station Bluewater Broadcast group.
