For as long as I can remember I have always had a fascination with the sciences, and out of this came my interest in weather. My interest really took off in late 2010 when Hurricane Earl gave New England a close encounter. It was during the amazing 2010-2011 winter that I began basic forecasts on a weather forum.

I now have a weather page on Facebook with a small following of 480 people [http://www.facebook.com/Meteorolopolis] and am a regular contributor to a weather forum called ‘Association of Weather Enthusiasts’ [http://www.facebook.com/groups/374969605908772/].
