This is my first post on my new blog. As a meteorologist, I figured an appropriate name for the blog would be "Hot Air", although it really isn't very original. But I'll do originality later.
I plan to share my thoughts on the weather, or any other topics, as they arise. Feel free to comment as you wish, but try to keep all replies on-topic and non-threatening.
Welcome!
