    Storm Chase Adventure!

    Since I was a kid, I've always been interested in Storm Chasing. I even tried to chase them on my bicycle! Unlike other Storm Chasers I'm more interested in "experiencing" the weather rather than just take pictures or video of it. The following is one of the best Storm Chase experiences I ever...

    Become A Trained Severe Weather Spotter: Easier than you think!

    So you're out there on the road, rails, or body of water. No matter where you are you're going to experience weather. Wouldn't it be nice to know how to read the sky and know what's coming? Also, wouldn't be cool if you could actually help save lives by reporting any severe weather you...

    Go To Weather App(s)

    I'm curious about which weather app(s) you guys use when traveling. Most apps have decent winter info, so I guess this inquiry is geared more toward thunderstorms. I've been messing around with different apps ever since The Weather Channel bought Wunderground and killed their awesome weather...

    So I know there's some of you that have some experience in that particular area and my first post on this was pretty vague, and was about general tips on the area and where to be. this post is different in that it's inspired by my general green-ness and fear of transitioning. so I have some...
