The Atmosphere Always Humbles Me


Here is what we woke up to this morning. Okay, at least me. This is a snap shot taken at about 5:15 AM from our radar. You can see the heavy snow banding across the Fort Wayne area. Visibilities were down to about 1/10th of a mile. It was not so much the snowfall but the gusty winds blowing and drifting snowfall across the roadways.
So here's the humbling part. The atmosphere will always surprise you. You can study every model cross your T's and dot your I's but there are still many variables that are difficult to predict. Every inch of the atmosphere cannot be monitored so there are always things that happen that keep me on my toes. I think that's what makes the job fun.
