| | Amateur Weather | |    | Yet another of my hobbies has been weather phenomena. This might be evident from the number of Cool Pic subjects that have had to do with weather. As a once-aspiring pilot, I spent quite a bit of time studying the daytime sky (see my Amateur Astronomy page for my nighttime sky observations). Although, as with most other hobbies, the flying was put on the back burner many years ago while raising a family, earning a BSEE degree, fixing up houses, working massive overtime and other activities got in the way. I did manage to build and fly a few model airplanes during that period, so the weather still held great interest for me. In fact, since free flight and RC gliders occupied a lot of my time, knowledge of winds, thermals, cloud formations, etc., played a large part in how successful flights were. Once the kids are out of college and there might actually be some disposable income to dispose of, I would like to get a really nice remote weather station that reports to my computer. For now, a Sam's Club atomic clock (signal received from Boulder) with an outdoor remote thermometer is about as exotic as it gets. I use the old finger method for gauging the rest of the weather: Hold up your finger outside; if it gets wet, it's raining, if it turns white, it's snowing, if it casts a shadow, it's sunny to mostly sunny, etc. | Weather Books | Amateur Weather Manufacturers & Services |
