Ian Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Kind of late notice but maybe some of you are interested. I will be going along with several other CWG folks. Sounds like a pretty big turnout overall. The perks are not just being a "Capital Weather Watcher" for CWG but also getting SKYWARN training: http://wapo.st/weathertraining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Sorry... I'm not dealing with both beltways and rush hour to drive to downtown DC... and/or take the metro into DC. This was announced a while ago. I think it's pretty worthwhile for people to get skywarn certified if nothing else. I should have posted it here sooner.

I should have posted it here sooner. It is still quite the drive, for me at least. I should have paid more attention and planned better...sorry.

RT @hcwoodward Okay. I admit it. Super excited just to be in the same room as Wes Junker. Love winter weather. #weatherwatchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 There were lots of woman and people of all ages. Nont many seemed interested in us, I heard more comments asking for Walter in Falls Church than any questions concerning us CWG folks. I got the feeling that many in the room were serious amateurs. Having been a visitor to first Wright-Weather, then Eastern, and now here, I do not consider myself an amateur but definitely still a novice. Having to sit at a table with two utter amateurs (a couple) and a man who thought he was well-informed (and, in fact, misinformed the amateur couple to the point where I was embarrassed) was too bad. I can say that being in close-proximity to Wes was quite the treat. I wanted to stay and ask non-trivial questions but I had a 9:00 train to catch at Union Station.

Many of the CWG posters are novices. I was amazed at how many people came considering the day and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
