Well maybe it was all the rain we just had that sparked the interest, but it seems that reporters have locked onto the personal weather stations in Altadena. A couple months ago, we were interviewed for an article in the Altadena Heritage Foundation newsletter, drawing attention to them, and just today we made the front page of the Pasadena Star-News under the headline "The Weather Underground". I take it as a badge of honor that the story ran side-by-side with the headline "Revenge of the nerds" featuring a picture of a hottie sporting a tiny-t emblazoned with the slogan "I [heart] Dorks" :)
Congratulations on making the front page! When I first saw the article this morning I immediately thought about Stonehill Weather. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to read the article...if it wasn't for this blog, I would have skipped right over it.
ReplyDeleteI live on Loma Alta next to Gooseberry Creek and I check the temperature and weather on this blogsite several times daily.
I, too, have always been fascinated by weather but have never been disciplined enough to set up the weather station etc. Each time I check the temperature at your weather station it fulfills a tiny bit of my childhood fantasy to be a weatherman.
