“Weather Whys” Visits Appleton

The sixth graders at Johnston-Montessori Elementary School in Appleton are learning about weather and the changing of the seasons. I was glad Mrs. Pomplun and Mr. Appleton invited me to talk about some of the weather whys. The students had some great questions including whether Appleton ever had a tornado touch down. (In 1984 a strong F4 tornado touched down in the Fox Valley and tore through part of the Outagamie County airport) They also wanted to know about forecasting and what education is needed to be a meteorologist. They even gave me a nice parting gift of a signed pumpkin complete with meteorological terms. The pumpkin has a new home on the weather deck!
