With a quiet weather pattern in place, let's have some fun!
I want you to channel your inner Jeff Foxworthy and finish this line, "You might be a weather geek if..."

.....if you actually enjoyed reading Todd's June 1st blog post on how the heat index is calculated

....if you rush out of the house to go see and get pictures of Dominator 1 and 2 and when you see them act like you might seeing your favorite rock band in person when you were a teenager. (really did this, and have pictures to prove it, lol)
....if when you finally see Dominator 1 and 2 wish you could have some of the cool weather equipment for your own vehicle or home.
....if you become a trained storm spotter. (did this too)
By the way, I have my own weather station. Not as elaborate as some but I have an anemometer, barometer, thermometer and still have to install my rain gage. Great blog post Todd, love everyone's responses.
Lori
if the weather alert signal is downloaded as your ringtone.
Lori,
Like your 3rd one on Storm Spotter, I did this as well, haha
Shack
if you shop for cars based on whether or not they have an outside temp display.
I read this and like 5 of those are totally me. Sad.
You might be a weather geek if you...
Watch a storm system develop over 10 days, hoping it produces snow in your hometown.
Do not sleep as said storm system moves in to the state.
Look outside every five minutes to "make sure it's still snowing."
Measure the snow every 30 minutes to let everyone on your Facebook friend's list know how much snow you have so far.
Look forward to the next system as the current one dies down.
If you know who Reed Timmer is.
if you follow Ned, Todd, Barry, Melinda, Michelle, ASWW and weatherninja on twitter and Facebook!!
You might be a weather geek if....
You almost get depressed when there is accumulating snow in the forecast and it turns out to be only flurries.
if you watch live storm coverage from the time it comes on, until they return to regular programming. Usually way before and way after your area has been affected.
You might be a weather geek if...
You get upset when regular programming interrupts the severe weather coverage....
You forget to pay your bills because Earl Barker's WXCASTER website is sooooo fascinating....
Your husband yells at you to "quit turning the porch light on and off all night!" when all you want to do is catch sight of that first snowflake.....
For entertainment (when nothing is going on in your area)you go the the NWS website and click on other states with watches and warnings to see what's happening there....
You try to call friends and family in places like Colorado, Utah, Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Missouri, etc.. to discuss their weather and nobody will answer. What's up with that?.....
Susan in Heber...
If everyone at your work calls you weather girl and you have no meteorlogical training whatsoever...except you tell everyone that everything you learned, you learned from Todd Yukobian!
if you can say a storm is not going to hit your particular area and it doesn't...is hits 20 minutes away on either side...My husband is a total weather geek!
... if your up all night for rain, snow, sleet or a tornado, you FREAK out when the internet goes down because you just lost radar, twitter, facebook and your ustream of WeatherNinja etc.. and everyone you know calls you for weather updates rather then main stream sources... and the guys you work with call you the office weather bug!
If you 7yr old daughter gets exicted when she sees Reed Timmer on TV as if he was Justin Bieber!!
If you sit staring into the live feed on your laptop watching rainfall on a parking lot in Texarkana just to get a glimpse of the first snowflake of an Arkansas winter storm!!!
... if all your friends call you to find out whether they are in the path of a storm.
That one's actually kinda scary. I'm not really qualified to answer. If they're in the red box I usually tell them to take cover unless the storm has already passed :-)
