I am taking an Earth’s Climate System course through the American Meteorological Society SUNY Brockport. On Wednesday evening, participants in the course had a meeting at the National Weather Service Office in Mt. Holly N.J. The headquarters for the NWS serving the Philadelphia area, southeastern New Jersey, and northern portions of Delaware and Maryland. It is the second time I have had the opportunity to visit the forecast office and after each visit I am more excited to teach about the local weather and climate.
Our next meeting is to be held at CBS 3 on April 24, 2012 in Philadelphia. We will sit in on the evening news broadcast. Our focus is the weather report provided by Kathy Orr. After the news broadcast we are permitted to pretend we are weather broadcasters. It is cool to work the green screen, you just have to make sure you do not wear green, or that portion shows up blank on the monitor. This Climate course is one of a kind and it provides many connections to my teaching. Plus it is free and upon completion you earn 3 graduate credits.
