Today, well technically last night was the first day of snow since sometime last April. It also marked the first day I had to wear my winter jacket since last spring.

Here's a couple pictures I snapped outside of my apartment:

I finally got around to getting my video edited and online.

I spent this past weekend at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH for the final weekend of the operating season, and the first time they had ever been open in November!

Matt Doak and I left our respective jobs around noon on Friday and headed down to Sandusky, arriving around 4:45pm to the park. We managed to get in 4 Maverick rides during ERT before going to Magnum and getting another 20 rides for the evening. We did take a break for a little while since the lines started getting somewhat long and went over to Friday's and got some dinner and Matt got some beers.

So it appears next week we could have a couple good severe weather days on our hands. The GFS has been pretty consistent at showing a very powerful cold front and low pressure system next week. The SPC seems to be on board now as well.

So on Saturday (10/18) it was a nice day out, and I decided to go get 250 rounds from Wal Mart ($65ish) and head out to the range. I had some ammunition leftover for my .380 from last time I went out shooting. I invited my dad along and we shot both my .40 and my .380, shooting about 220 rounds in total. The weather was fantastic on Saturday for a nice day out at the range.

It was one year ago tonight that the October 18, 2007 Tornado Outbreak occurred. I chased this into Northern Indiana and then back into Michigan. This caused the EF-3 Nappanee, IN Tornado and the EF-2 Williamston, MI Tornado. I was actually on the Williamston, MI Cell originally when it was in Fulton County, IN.

I was going to do a big write up for this event on my former site, but that was scrapped last month due to the fact I am no longer with that company.

Here's a list of the warnings from the night

So I spent the past week fishing up north for salmon. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were spent fishing in the Pere Marquette River, but I stayed in Ludington at the state park. Below is video that I shot at the state park. Tomorrow I should have video from the Pere Marquette River edited up.

Potterville, MI was hit by an EF-3 Tornado on the afternoon of August 24, 2008. This tornado was the strongest in the Grand Rapids county warning area since March 27, 1991 and devestated many home owners in the Potterville area. I was running the Skywarn net control that afternoon.

I bought some new domains recently. I am letting the cat out of the bag now, although I still have no concrete plans for any of them. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment below.

The domains are:

The watch me storm chase site will be just my video feed I think. StormChaserCams opens up a few new ideas. No plans yet, but I have been thinking at least.
