I&#8217;m not sure exactly why. I think it started &#8211; or at least stems &#8211; from when I used to follow all the models and independent meteorologist sources. It was <em><strong>thrilling<\/strong>.<\/em> Reading all of the posts on the Accuweather forums for the major storms and smashing the refresh button hoping for something new. Over the years I started to get familiar with the patterns, the terminology and how to read it. Those were some of the most fun nights of my life. I still have a livestream I did of Winter Storm Stella back in 2018. YouTube shitcanned it and it&#8217;s no longer publicly viewable since I used copyrighted music during the stream. I remember watching all the local posts while watching the storm come through. It was not always the most accurate, but fun none the less!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I haven&#8217;t followed a storm like that since Stella, I have dabbled here and there. I particularly love hurricane season. I follow the awesome dudes from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hurricanetrack.com\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.hurricanetrack.com\">Hurricane Track<\/a> storm chasers. Each year they setup GoPros on poles where a storm is projected to hit and they stream it live over the internet. I cannot tell you how many nights I&#8217;ve stayed up glued to my TV watching these or the chasers driving in their vans around the area. There is something about it that just excites me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t want snow this year, but I wouldn&#8217;t be opposed to getting into the communal hype train while tracking the models all day. I guess only time will tell!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past 8 years or so, I&#8217;ve been strangely fascinated with weather.
