Hello,

Wasnt sure if this is the right section of the forum to post this, but saw a few others had so I went along with it.

My name is Michael, I currently reside in the granite city of St. Cloud, MN. Ive been watching this forum for some time now...save a few months from a lost password/email address combo...But think im going to come out of lurking and be more active in posting.

Good to see quite a number of people who enjoy weather as much as I do. Looks like many quality threads on weather and of course storm chasing. I recognize a few names on here and I am looking forward to learning more, and perhaps contributing something that others may not know/understand.

I run a website, www.thewxpage.com. its been up for some years now..which I redesigned last night to give better uniformity and ease of access. its sorta buggy in firefox, but IE handles very nicely - although there are some aspects that will be redesigned shortly. I run it with 2 of my chase partners Scott Kraushaar and Andrew Tiemann, all 3 of us were meteorology majors at one point and then decided to pursue other career paths even after 2-3 semesters of met. courses under our belts.

Our love for the weather hasn't changed, as we still all try to take some meteorology classes when we can as our schedules allow (just to learn as much as we can and hold the sanity of taking everyday boring courses..you know the ones I mean)

I have most of my personal photos at http://michael.thewxpage.com/photos.html and my weather related are in the photos section of my main site.

In closing, I know stormtrack is well rounded and respected community and I look forward to being more of a part of it.
 
You run that page? Cool. Its got LOTS of good information, especially info. about those dang skew-t charts. Thank you for the comment on my thread. I hope i wasnt coming across as just wanting attention.
 
I be new to the forum as well. I once roped an F5, ate it for lunch, and crapped out a hurricane.

No, not at all. I enjoy teaching other people about weather related things. I just hope it is detailed enough for you and easy to understand...I tried to make things as nicely as I could and not all abbreviations.
 
Bill Brasky! ... from what I've heard, you got so bored with the weather one time that you went out and made your own Cat 5 hurricane from scratch ... and then later people started calling it Katrina. Here's to Billll Brasky - - - welcome!

And a big welcome to Michael and our other ST newcomers as well. Nice to have you -
 
Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Brasky takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Brasky yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found em!'
 
I'm sure you fellas heard about the time he taught his son how to drive ... he did it by entering him in the Indy 500. The kid wrecked and died. Brasky said it would've happened sometime.

He's a real son of a gun ...
