Today is National Weatherperson's Day!!!

[Mike Smith]

Every storm chaser, every storm spotter, every emergency manager, and every meteorologist is part of the "meteorological profession," just like nurses and paramedics are part of the medical profession.

Today is our day! I have posted a salute here: http://meteorologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2011/02/today-is-national-weatherpersons-day_05.html

Enjoy your day, everyone!!

I know it's PR to call it weatherperson, but it was started as Weatherman's Day. I know some make that out to be some sort of gender bias...but it isn't. Just the same as human, not huperson.

Mike...thank you for recognizing that the day is meant for all those that advance the state-of-the-art in the weather world. Heidi Cullen might only value human life and contribution if you are a degree met with membership in the AMS, but 99% of the us feel that many, degree or not, contribute.

So yes...thank you to ALL those that contribute. Not only to you make my own life happier and safer, you help me enjoy a hobby as a business and find a great group of people to share a passion with.
