Almost five years into retirement, I find I can’t keep my mouth shut concerning our local weather, some climate matters (and other stuff).  But, now its a hobby, not a job.  So, I won’t post every day.  However, on days when the weather gets “interesting”, I plan to get my two cents in along with everyone else.  After 40 years of forecasting our local weather and watching it closely for another five, I feel I’ve learned a few things to add to weather discussions.  I’ll finish this re-introduction with one of my favorite quotes.  It’s attributed to Neils Bohr, Nobel Prize winning developer of quantum physics and probably, along with Einstein, one of two best physicists of the first half of the 20th century.
