Rob KD1CY gave another SKYWARN class on May 13th. That happened to be the 5th one I’ve taken (2011, 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2023), so that’s an indication of how good they are.
Many folks don’t realize that federal disaster relief funds are only released to counties after there has been “ground truthing” of things like snow totals. In other words, a blizzard that is forecast doesn’t “officially” happen until a trained weather spotter sends in the data.
Thanks to all that took the class as well and are acting as the eyes and ears of the National Weather Service here in Rhode Island.
