Zorin 88 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 As some of you know, I have gotten into storm chasing, and I try to do my best at whatever I grab onto..... Well, there's been a LOT of online courses, and last weekend, there was a trip to Norman, OK for some actual sit in the classroom and take notes the jolly old school way. I took a class on Severe Weather Forecasting, and I wound up with...... This bad boy! In case it hard to read, I have achieved technical certification in Basic Severe Weather Forecasting. This place is pretty stringent on grading, so I must have done quite well to make the grade! I also went on my first storm chase Thursday night, nothing too exciting. Saw some rotation, and got a little hail, but it was still great to get out and put what I have learned to use out in the real world. Plus my truck has a few new merit badges, LOL Tim 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zorin 88 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks, guys. This is just the beginning, too....since February, I have collected certs for NWS Certified Storm Spotter, Principles of Convection (3 of them), and this Severe Weather Forecasting class. There's more coming too. Tim 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zorin 88 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks again, Trevor. You know, I am waiting to see some of your accomplishments. I know you were trying to do the Met Ed stuff. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty 279 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Tim, I have apparently taken hiatus from MetEd. It was put on the backburner, then alot of s**tski has been going on and that backburner flame has extinguished. But I plan to get back on it here shortly. I don't wanna just do a course here and there as time allows, I would like to wait until I can stick to a schedule with the courses, ya know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zorin 88 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I know what you mean. The one I am working on has been neglected, however, maybe I can tie it off tonight. It's also an intermediate level module that has been a real b***h. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty 279 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Nice. I don't think I got to an intermediate level one yet. But the next one might be, if I recall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
