New for 2011

Here it is 27 days into 2011 and I am finally posting the "what's new" for the year.

First, this blog will be a mix of the upcoming big weather stories for the next couple of days and weather forecasting tips.

Second, a v-blog will be a regular feature covering both upcoming severe weather (generally tomorrow and the next day) and travel weather. We get some nice advertisers for the videos so it is worthwhile doing them.

Third, we'll continue to offer the weather forecast services at OrrWeather.com . That's not big news, but I just to let you know about them.

Finally, we're working on holding 2 forecast workshops - one in the Fall 2011 and one in the late Spring 2012. Tourism drives hotel prices sky high in the summer ($99 a night and up), but in the Fall and Spring rooms go for $39 to $59 a night. Rapid City, South Dakota is served by non-stop service between Salt Lake City, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, Minneapolis and Chicago.

These workshops will be an intense 8 hours a day for 3 days, and likely limited to 10 people each. We'll cover flash floods, hurricanes, ice storms and 60 day weather outlooks.  Similar limited gatherings price out at $4,999.  These will be $1,998 and include all materials and two meals each day. You'll be able to charge it on your credit card or make payments. Look for details next week at OrrWeather.com .

That's what's new. Should there be more?
