Well after seeing this mornings lows throughout the area I’ve certainly changed my tune. Especially after a fresh 10” snowpack, I’ll call for -22 in Milwaukee.

That’s just absurd! They gonna hit near -40 tonight at this rate. Meanwhile holding steady at -5 or so here, I highly doubt we get below -15 next week either.

Moderating effect of Lake Michigan is just insane. Only -2 still here in Milwaukee but -21 in Burlington. Is there something about that area, perhaps the soil, that causes such an insane temp difference? Waukesha is about just as inland and is at only -9.

I have so much family in Puerto Rico and have been so many times. I know the geography very well. The interior areas are getting absolutely wiped out, never seen anything like it, it is like the apocalypse. Flooding on the rate of Harvey in only one day. The destruction is going to be unimaginable. It breaks my heart.

They don't, as mentioned in many of the threads many don't ever work in the field or many that initially do eventually move onto something else...the shiftwork bug bites many before the age of 30, particularly women as they don't want to work shifts once they're married and having children...I noticed a marked decline in my ability to tolerate overnight shifts as I got into my late 20s vs. my early 20s...it was an amazing difference in just about a 5-7 year period.

That sounds like a terrible idea to get a met degree then... work harder than most other college students and get paid pretty much minimum wage unless you're one of the 1-5% that gets into the NWS

There are only so few NWS jobs available, so I cannot comprehend where the rest of these thousands of meteorology graduates will find work
