Hello Friends!
The hallmark of this site continues to be what you, the users, want it to be. I can't thank you enough for your overwhelming response of intelligent, sound guidance on where you'd like to see the site go, and what you'd like to see both here, and on NECN's brand new weather blog. It's an exciting time for us as an NECN Weather Team - finally a website of our own - and you will find the daily forecast discussion has shifted there, as will many of the pertinent links on this site. Per your request, however, there's plenty still to find here, and will continue to be. Here's the breakdown:
The Main Blog Page (MattNoyes.net - you're on it now): This will now house the majority of topics for the site, and will cover a huge scope. In-depth, technical discussions if they don't fit appropriately into the NECN Team site, TV related items, musings, answers to questions you or others submit (some you'll find quite amusing), an opportunity for further discussion of various topics, weatherwise and otherwise - everything that appeared on the Meteorology Memos and More and Recreation Pages. Notice, also, that the radar and other links have been moved here, along with ALL archives from the old pages. It's all here. It's all good! We'll have fun together on this page.
Quick Forecast Page: No changes here. Same as it always was - a quick, regional forecast. Of course, a link to the NECN forecast page is also included.
Latest Discussion/Post: Links directly to my category page on NECN's Weather Blog, WeatherNewEngland.com. Everything I post on our Team Blog will appear on this page, including the forecast discussion.
Real-Time Spotter Network: A number of you requested I organize something where we can all share live, real-time reports during storms and discuss what's going on, as it happens. Already done! Though it's waiting for us to get involved and take advantage, NationalWeatherOnline.com is EXACTLY this. We can send photos/video through Flickr.com to the site (and include description with the Flickr submission), or become full correspondents and write complete posts, questions, analysis, etc. The only thing it's missing right now is lots of people, so head on over and populate it! I had a huge hand in its development, so trust me that it's on the straight and narrow - designed purely for sharing info and going to be a ton of fun, on stormy or sunny days!
Weather News Headlines: Long time readers of my website remember I used to post national and international stories. Now, I just link to NationalWeatherOnline.com's Weather Headlines Page. Considering I also play a heavy hand in what stories are there, it's also "all good!"
Out and About: No change here. Still can request me or see me in action. ;)
New England Photo Gallery (Sky Scenes): Again, no change for now.
Weekly Weather Word Contest: A direct link to the Weather Word section of our NECN blog.
Current News Headlines: No change.
Thanks again to all who offered an opinion and/or idea! You're da best - looking forward to seeing you back here for a long time to come!
-Matt
