Spreading the word!

I've been having a frustrating time looking at the models today. All shifted northwest, not a good sign for a big snowstorm here. After viewing today's models, I am quite undermined about the forecast of this system. I need to watch closely how the models evolve tomorrow.

In the meantime, I think I need to side track from weather a bit and talk about this blog and myself in today's post.

Myself

As many of you may already known, I am a 16 year old aspiring meteorologist. I've been interested in weather in general ever since I was 10 and started to do my own forecast since 12. Currently I am in grade 11, fairly busy with my school work. Next year, I will be applying to McGill for Atmospheric Sciences. Hopefully, I would be able to meet my goal and move to Montreal 1 1/2 years from now!

Expansion

This blog is already running for more than a year. I am planning to expand the foretasted area to Southern Quebec as well this winter. However, I don't want to stop there. I am currently looking for anybody who lives in North America under the age of 23 who is willing to join my blog to do a forecasted area of their own. email me at theyoungweatherman@gmail.com

This blog currently gets 100-200 hits per day, a figure I want to expand as well. Most, if not all the visitors I get came from accuweather forums. In order to really increase the traffic of this blog, I need YOUR help! If you enjoy my blog and want to help out, it would be really appreciated if you can help spread the word. This could be done in a variety of ways!

1. Post my blog link to anywhere around the internet, forums, comments, forum signatures etc.
2. Word of mouth! Tell your family, friends, relatives or anybody of interest about my blog!
3. Comment and postive feedback, visit here often! comment often and give positive feedback about my blog in general.

I am currently thinking of innovative ways to expand the outreach of this blog myself, however, this could not be as effective without your support! Thank you so much everybody!

Your forecasts are well enough thought out that i am sure they would be welcome on some of the other forums like Storm2k.org and eastern weather and some posting there with your signature could definatly increase your hit numbers as their are a lot of wierd folks there who actually think snow is nice (just teasing). your forcasts cover a large chunk of people around the great lakes and that can only translate to more hits (and seeing you often put accumulation in inches they shold feel right at home).
Best of luck Mark
