Why a weather blog?

Okay, so that's the big question. Why a weather blog? Well first off I am a certified weather 'geek' and the best thing about my job is that I get paid to be one! I only wish there were more hours in the day and I didn't have to do other mundane things in life. So this is going to be your way to get into my head and see what I am thinking about upcoming and past weather events. It gives me a chance to vent and it gives you a chance to experience true weather 'geekdum'!
The title of my blog comes from one of meteorology's first poets Longfellow. Longfellow is now part of my Google legend, I was interviewed about a year ago for a national NPR story and got to talk about Longfellow's love of weather. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7615632 So I thought that there really is no other title then one of Longfellow's most famous poems.
So now you know a little about me I will try to keep things on a meteorological and scientific level, but don't be surprised if I add some human touches as well. After all, contrary to popular belief we meteorologists are human as well. (At least the last time I checked). Don't be afraid to give your opinion about my attempt at blogging and please give me tips if you think I'm going at this the wrong way).
