It's That Time of Year...

I'll be on the road quite a bit over the next 10 days or so. Here's how the schedule is working out:

* Tomorrow: Visiting with two groups of students up at Neshoba Central Elementary tomorrow morning. As part of the deal, Charles and I get to eat a big lunch up there! Very good stuff!

* Friday: Eating lunch with Joe Chance, the former City Administrator for the city of Livingston. Joe is an avid weather enthusiast with a lot of great ideas about covering weather around here. Definitely looking forward to hearing his thoughts!

* March 2: I'll be headed over to Jackson for the Emergency Management/Media Workshop. Its an annual meeting coordinated by the National Weather Service in Jackson. They have some great speakers, and we all get to discuss the strong and weak points of the NWS' products. It is a great way for us to express feedback to the NWS, which allows them to better meet our needs and vice versa. Really an all-around great experience, and I'm looking forward to going over there for that.

* March 4-6: Headed to Starkville, MS for the Southeast Severe Storms Symposium. Some of the brightest minds in the entire business will be presenting at this year's Symposium. As part of Symposium, a group of meteorologists from around Mississippi and Alabama enjoy the fine tradition of eating at the LITTLE DOOEY in Starkville. Great BBQ and great company, it's quickly becoming a yearly tradition. It will also be nice to catch up with other MSU alumni at the Symposium. If you are interested, check out the website:

Of course, all of these trips are WEATHER PERMITTING. And, I get the idea that the weather could get pretty interesting around the first weekend of March. More on that tomorrow...
