Weather has been a major passion of mine since I was 3 years old.  While I am not enrolled in school at this time I am working my way back towards school in hopes of getting a degree in meteorology.  My favorite type of weather is severe weather, however, I love winter weather as well.  I also have a strong interest in long-range forecasting and one day I would love to do long-range forecasts for energy companies.
