9th grade. Pretty damn impressive. 

Wow, I didn't know that. From his writing I assumed he was in college or just past that. 

@bncho You've got a bright future, kid. Keep it up, whatever you're doing.

I’ve “taught” a lot of really bright kids over the years, and I imagine @bncho would be one of the ones that when I was at the board struggling through a particularly tough math problem, I’d finally say, “Hey, bncho, give me a hint.”

When I was in 9th grade I would stare at the sky with my mouth open waiting for something interesting to happen. This kid already is head of the NWS lol

I remember being around 12 years old and being upset because I just assumed I would be growing out of this odd obsession with snow.  I loved it so much and thought it was just a childhood thing.  I remember creeping down the hallway at night to the laundry room so I could flip on the flood lights and see if it was snowing.  I had a 4x8 map of the Atlantic on my wall where I would track tropical systems with dry erase markers.  Now at 48 years old I am still up at all hours to watch the snowfall.  Little did I know that the obsession would just continue to grow.  

Gardening is another hobby/obsession of mine.  I would bet that most in here love hobbies or have interests that can really never be perfected.  There is always something new to learn, always something that throws a wrench in the works but that 18" of cold powder or that bountiful harvest makes it worth it. 

I am thankful for this forum and the continued education I receive in here from all of the red taggers and other knowledgeable folks.  Too many to mention and would probably leave someone out.  This is a great place to feed my addiction and I appreciate it!
