Eskimo Joe Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hey everyone. It's that time of the year again...SKYWARN talks. The new list of talks for this year can be found HERE (http://www.erh.noaa....rn/classes.html). I will be helping out with the Basics 1 course on March 26 in Carroll County, and Master of Disaster is working the Montgomery County event. Hope to see some of you folks in the coming months!

Eskimo Joe Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I may do the Carrol County one - how late can you register? You can register up until March 25th or when it's filled. There are a decent number of spots left though ATTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickinBaltimore Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Is this going to be offered in the Baltimore City/County area, or just near DC suburbs? THis sounds like something I would be interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Joe...my youngest (he's 10) is absolutely enthralled with weather in general and severe weather in particular. If I signed up for this class, could I bring him along to listen and learn too? Or is he old enough I can register him on his own to attend with me? Thanks.

Eskimo Joe Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Is this going to be offered in the Baltimore City/County area, or just near DC suburbs? THis sounds like something I would be interested in. That would be a question for the NWS in Sterling. You can contact them via email at: [email protected] Joe...my youngest (he's 10) is absolutely enthralled with weather in general and severe weather in particular. If I signed up for this class, could I bring him along to listen and learn too? Or is he old enough I can register him on his own to attend with me? Thanks. The minimum age is 13 to be a registered spotter so he is too young. But he certainly can come and watch the presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'll wait until they offer some on this side of the Potomac I don't think College Park is that far from you, so you could go to their March 3rd session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I sent out an email for the one in Gaithersburg the day of this post but have yet to hear back that I am registered. Not sure if I need to email again to see if it was recieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormitecture Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Too bad LaConte (MoD) has to be at the MoCo one. Probably be fun and educational if he wasn't. Probably just another session of him trying to "own" the Skywarn program in MoCo. I feel sorry for the NWS staff that have to put up him year after year.

RickinBaltimore Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I got a follow up email about talks in the Baltimore area, and for the moment there aren't any, but to check back again in May. I figured I would post this for anyone interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormitecture Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 This thread was not created to bash personnel, FYI. Just stating facts, and making sure folks are aware of the situation for Montgomery County. Frankly I tend to recommend folks take a class OUTSIDE Montgomery County or at least one where Master of Disaster is NOT connected to it. We all know how he posts right here on the forum, is this really the person you want having influence at a training session like Skywarn...which has enough problems in this region as it is.
