I've always been fascinated by the weather and, as a pilot, it has become increasingly important to what I do in my spare time. Imagine my surprise the other day when I discovered that not only does the USDA have a Graduate School program, but they even have a Meteorology Certificate Program offered through distance learning.
That's actually three surprising things all in one:
- I could get college credit for learning about the weather at home
- The USDA has a graduate school
- Their school offers this course of study
What will they think of next?

I'm pissed and I'm signing up!
I made a decision based on several weather reports to not schedule a plane for today. I’m sitting here looking out my window at a beautiful Carolina morning, 45 degrees with winds from 250 at 7 knots. Not a cloud in sight. Aircraft availability on MyFBO (software stinks by the way), zip, zero, nada.
Either I become better at doing my own forecasting or I buy a plane so I don’t have to worry about scheduling.
Oh well, I gotta study for my knowledge test anyway.
Um, Steve, where in Carolina are you? Here in the Raleigh/Durham area, it's been VERY windy all day long.
Dan, I fly out of Sanford-Lee County. This morning (7:00ish) the wind wasn't too bad, but yeah, by 9:00 it was getting hairy.
