psv88 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I would say that many of my male friends are into weather as well. Plenty of texts flying around during storms, photos, etc. We just take it a step further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncat Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I've often wondered how I got hooked...Nobody in my family was into it....I'm 56 years old now and have been a fanatic for as long as I can remember...probably got my first piece of weather equipment at age 10 or so.

(OMG what is the 6hr max/min gonna say!!) when I was a teenager the only way to get the hourly temperature was listen to a radio station that gave you the up to the hour temperature...one of those stations was wabc am top 40 radio...I hardly ever missed the hourly temperature...I followed it more back then than I do now...noaa weather radio was another source...There was a telephone number you could call back then...it was WE 6 1212...we was for weather 6 1212...

I lived and died by NOAA weather radio. They used to put the 6 to 10 day outlook on sometimes and I thought that was the bomb! Like I had some sort of inside info or something...

FPizz Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I got into weather around 1986 or so when I was 8. My brother, who was 14 at the time was really into it. We watched the weather channel all the time and all the local ny weather stations. Still are both weenies until this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, NOAA weather radio for me along with 1010 WINS and 880 WCBS for hourly readings. I actually met the guy that went into the NOAA radio booth every hour to record the hourly readings on a trip to the NWS a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With today's technologies, can not see why KWO-35 can't have automated weather condition updates interspersed every six minutes, till the full update on the hours. If you have the AM Air Band on your radio, you might be able to pull in the Wall St. Heliport. At any rate you can call the computer there with your cell and get it. Using my first transistor radio on the beach in 1960, I could get the Battery Park output, a closer analog to CI than CPK, but still hourly of course. As an early season beach goer in April/May here in CI, the hourly temperatures fails badly when a sea breeze suddenly starts and temp. goes from say 74 to 57 in a few minutes, and while WINS keeps saying 74 I am getting dressed to leave faster than a Superman costume change.
