About the Webpages and the Forecaster

I have been interested in weather since the third grade. It wasnt a huge storm that hit that got me hooked, perhaps it was just my dad watching the weather channel each morning. Whatever it was, I've been dedicated to observing, learning, and forecasting ever since. As my reputation for weather forecasting grew, at school, people would ask me about upcoming snowdays. KeeneWeather.com started in 2005 as a weblog for posting winter storm discussions, but more importantly school cancellation probabilities. It since then transformed into a giant weather forecasting webpage over the summer of 2006, with four different pages pages maintained constantly.

Weather Homepage:
Here's what to expect in a daily post:

• The regional forecast for the day

Once a week (usually on Sunday) a long term forecast will be posted which includes an in depth discussion and then the general outlook for the next 6 to 10 weeks. At the start of each month, climate data for Keene, as well as New England from the previous month will be posted. Also, once in a while, if there is a remarkable weather-related event whether it is purely weather, politics related, media related, etc., it will be remarked upon.
