Severe Weather in the Plains

August 12, 2011

Happy Birthday!

It seems like such a long time!  Nonetheless, this blog is one month old, and it has had its fair share of memories already for me.  We are using a timeline to portray this blog's progress (all dates are 2011):
  • July 12th: USA Weather is born in the middle of a power outage.
  • July 14th: Power returns, and USA Weather takes its first steps.
  • July 19th: We announce the introduction of SnoScale, a long-range winter weather forecaster.
  • July 19th: We announce the production of our 2011-2012 winter forecast.
  • July 21st: We announce that we are on Facebook (this one is still under construction).
  • July 23rd: We issue our first (and to this date only) WeatherSchool.
  • July 24th: We go on vacation.
  • August 1st: TTL Index comes out.
  • August 8th: We begin drawing out the highest threat areas in weather watches.
  • August 10th: Our full preliminary winter outlook comes out.
It looks like the weather world has taken some notice of us, specifically in the last few days, and our views have skyrocketed.  Just two days ago we broke our single-day view record.  Though we've accomplished a lot for such a short period of time, there are still things I am disappointed with:
  • Our Facebook page really hasn't gotten off to the start we were hoping for.
  • Our Thunderstorm Page STILL isn't out.
  • The Advanced TTL Index hasn't come out either.
I'm sure I am missing something both in the timeline on top and the things I am disappointed with above.  If so, leave a comment in the Chat-box or on this post.  Stay tuned!
