Fifth Tri-State Weather Conference


Quincy

Recommended Posts

Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) began hosting weather conferences every other year back in 2006 and they've grown bigger and better with each successive conference.

 

The Fifth Tri-State Weather Conference is scheduled for Saturday, October 18th, 2014.

 

Speakers in the past have included Paul Kocin, Dr. Louis W. Uccellini, Dr. Mel Goldstein, Lonnie Quinn and several NWS meteorologists from Upton, NY and Taunton, MA. This year's list of speakers is being finalized over the next week or so and I will post them once they become official.

 

The conference is a one-day event and a relatively low cost compared to other similar conferences. The cost in 2012 was $25 and I believe the cost will either be the same or similar this year. 

 

It runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., so it is an all day event. There are several presentations surrounded by two small breaks and a larger break for lunch. There will be poster presentations throughout the lower floor of the Science Building at WCSU, which is what the breaks will be focused around.

 

I've attended 3 out of the 4 (couldn't come in 2012 because of a wedding) and it's well worth it. The turnout last year was around 200, so it's nearly doubled in size since they began in 2006. I strongly encourage all of you to try to attend!

 

I will post a reply with more information as it becomes available in the near-future.

Also, this conference usually has a good balance of technical talks and ones that are easier to follow and entertaining for the casual weather observer. Yeah, some people may be more of an entertainer than a scientist, but that keeps things interesting.

Don't pass up this opportunity!

Hey gang!!

 

I'm heading down the night before, since I'm about 3 or so hours away in SE Mass.  But I'll be presenting during the afternoon.  I'll also be showing my poster comparing the Blizzard of '13 to the Blizzard of '78.  

 

One thing...this conference is held every TWO years, not every year, so this is your chance to check out WestConn and see some great presentations.  Can't wait to see Quincy's stormchasing videos.

 

Hope to meet some of you there!
