WeatherCall Teaches at WeatherFest

Scouts Learn What Makes the World's Weather

The Second Annual WeatherFest event was held January 4, 2015 as the opening activity for the 95^th annual American Meteorological Society (AMS) conference.  The event provided an opportunity for training Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in some of the key elements involved with understanding what weather is, how it affects our daily lives, and what scouts and the public in general can do to better protect themselves from the impacts of severe weather.

Valerie Ritterbusch, WeatherCall President, along with Elizabeth Paynter, WeatherCall Customer Service Manager and Bob Goldhammer, WeatherCall Enterprise Sales Manager, provided instruction on key ideas such as how the tilt of the earth’s axis, the differential heating of water and land masses, and the earth’s revolution around the sun impact daily weather and area climates.
