Monday - class starts!

Today was the first official day of class, and I spent my day...doing unrelated paperwork and basically going crazy trying to get ready. And remember to do everything! Meanwhile, the class assembled and everybody showed up on time. Allison Charland and I both did quick overview talks, and Marty Leach taught a morning and an afternoon forecasting workshop. This year, we're running IDV on the laptops which will give us a whole new way of "seeing" the weather - exciting!

At the end of the day, Allison led the students to the roof to do a test balloon-radiosonde launch (it worked!) Moral of the story...add more helium!

All raced home to pack!!!
