CoastalWx Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 This isn't dumb at all. Even I have to go back sometimes and look over stuff. There is a lot of material in this science...you'll never know it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, Even more so for guys like myself that don't do it for a living, Have to go back to reference a lot of things to understand the terminology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sharing and helping is not dumb at all, Chris. It is very kind that you want to share the sites you know work for you with others. --Turtle P.S. LOVE the little friend you have in your photo. So cute!

CapturedNature Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 This isn't dumb at all. Even I have to go back sometimes and look over stuff. There is a lot of material in this science...you'll never know it all. Tell me about it! 20+ years out of meteorology school and I'm constantly reminded of what I don't remember by the pros here. I don't know about any body else, but I'll go through periods where I'll favor one thing or another over something else then I remember something else and start using that. Refresher courses are a good thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People laugh all the time when they see a bulky 21 year old man walking around with a 6 pound Chihuahua but I love him haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
