I know this is a week late, but it has taken about that long to recover from the huge party that was the Chaser Convention in Denver, Colorado. I am also in the middle of moving, so I haven't had a chance to update the blog with the pictures from Denver.

We (Andrew Glenn and I) started our journey off from Lansing on Thursday the 11th. Our flights were out of Chicago-Midway, which is about 200 miles away. We had originally planned on parking in Adam Lucios neighborhood, but ended up just parking in the economy lots due to all of the snow and crazy Chicago people with their parking spots. Our flight to Denver was eventless, and David Drummond was waiting in Denver to pick us up when we landed.

Once we got to the hotel, we hung out with Steve, Kendra, Hans, Bob, Adam, Danny, Jessica and everyone else. It was nice meeting Kendra and Jessica, who I hadn't previously met. Eventually David, Andrew and I went to a Mexican restaurant across the street and had a delicious dinner. Eventually we all made our way down town to meet up with some other chasers at Old Chicago.

I have been working quite hard on my website for the past couple of months, but very much so in the last 2 weeks. I have worked hard on getting things ready for the new chase season, and going through and updating pages that hadn't been updated in a couple of years.

I also came up with a new template for my chase accounts. I think these are much better laid out than previous chase accounts were, which were essentially in a blog format.

I have all of my past chases listed on my Chase Accounts page. Feel free to give them a click, and let me know if you like my new chase account layout. Ultimately, I would like them to all be as cool as my June 5th Chase Account, but not every chase gets to be that awesome.

In other news, I have been enjoying my new Motorola Droid phone. I haven't found many downfalls yet, other than it's lack of being able to tether without rooting the phone. These are all features that consumers want, I wish Verizon would just listen and stop trying to Nickel and Dime their customers to death.

With that said, if anyone is interested in my HTC Touch Pro, I have listed it on Craigslist.

I have been keeping this in the back of my mind since June 5th, and it's something I've pondered. With the June 5th episode of Storm Chasers airing tonight, I thought today was as good of a time as any to blog about this.

Well, I had 2009 dead as of a week and a half ago. Stick a fork in it. Figures it would surprise me yet again. The GFS is currently calling for an amazing outbreak of severe weather this week, followed by (ugh) snow this weekend. The SPC picked up on the setup this morning, and outlooked Day 4 (Thursday) and Day 5(Friday) in their experiemental Day 4-8 outlook.

The 12Z GFS was showing a 976mb low centered over northern Minnesota and plenty of moisture return over the entire great lakes. The 00Z GFS from tonight is a bit faster with the system, but the NAM is slowing things down for Thursday and hopefully that is the general trend.

The popular show "Storm Chasers" is back in full force on the Discovery channel with it's season premiere last Sunday at 10pm. That was from the April 26th High Risk "Bust" in Oklahoma. The second episode, which airs at 10pm eastern this Sunday October 25th on Discovery will feature my best chase of 2009 in West Texas.

The Discovery Channel posted 4 trailers today for the West Texas episode, and I have to say I am super geeked to see this episode!
