Been quietly watching the last week but I'm confident enough now to get excited. We are pretty close to the bullseye. 

Just switched to snow here at PPQ.  Heavy rain most of the afternoon followed by a half hour or so of dry and the first flakes are now flying. 

I'm a little late to the discussion but I'll add my two cents. It was tough getting a job after college because I was largely on my own, my school kind of sucked at that. However I did, I liked my job alot but I had an opportunity to make more money doing something else and I took it. It was a tough decision because I felt in a way that I wasted the first 20 some years of my life because all I wanted to do was be a meteorologist and even though I was doing that I knew it wasn't something I would do forever. I guess maybe I'm greedy, but I have expensive hobbies. Even the years immediately after not being a meteorologist I would have times when I felt like a failure because I wasn't using my degree. Sometimes now I still question my decision, but oh well. I feel like I use meteorology every day and even though I'm not a paid meteorologist I still study the weather and I'm glad I have the formal training to do so.
