I am 17 and attend Hamden High School. I have been a weather diehard for the past 10 years. I am also a Trained Spotter for the National Weather Service's Skywarn Team. I follow the latest weather models to watch for any pattern changes and will be a part of building a TV Production Studio for my school. I also plan on attending Western Connecticut State University to study Meteorology as my major. I have met and worked with Dr. Mel a few years back and still shocked that he has passed away. I cannot wait for a weather event to unfold so I can be a part of a team that will be following it from the start all the way to the aftermath. I was trending as #weatherlord on twitter during the October Nor'easter and continue to give accurate forecasts via Facebook, Twitter, and on command.
