It all began when my future English teacher, Anne Carey Murphy asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up? I said a meteorologist! She beamed with approval. My inspiration was the Late Don Kent who lived to be 92. There's so much to blog about with the weather. Today the weather captures our imaginations and there's a proliferation of weather forecasters both on television, radio or just looking out the window. I have kept a journal of weather events over the years and delight in reviewing my writings. There's no dearth of instruments in my collection. On the top shelf of weather instruments is a collection of 4 instruments from MAXIMUM in New Bedford, MA. I plan on contacting a Claude Roposo and see if there's any value today? Also, Cape Cod Weather Instruments offers a selection. This is where I purchased my anemometer for $50 in 1957. Weather instruments give you a better understanding of what's going on. In the last two days the gusts of wind make the news. I like watching Pete Bouchard who gives me the latest reports. We must endure today's weather be it being Weatherwise or Otherwise!
