About Me

Thank you for visiting my site. I'm an avid weather nut, thus the name weathernuthaven. I've been interested in weather since I was in grammar school. I used to have a small wooden shelter that housed my barometer, thermometer, hygrometer, and rain gauge. I mostly tried various ways to build anemometers and wind vanes. Back in those days, I had 2 cheap thermometers. One was for the air temperature and one was for a wet bulb reading to figure the humidity using a lookup table. To get the wet bulb reading, I'd slip a white shoelace over the bulb of the thermometer and put the other end of the shoelace in a container of water. This was a crude way of finding out the wet bulb reading. I used an empty olive jar for a rain gauge since it had cylindrical sides. I kept a journal and made readings about 3 or 4 times a day. Things have changed a lot since then. Now most everything is automated. I do miss sometimes going out at certain times of the day to check all my instruments. I never made it to meteorology school, but I do hold a degree in Computer Science. From time to time, you'll see new features on the site. One upcoming feature will be a weather cam. I hope to get this up and running but it's proved to be difficult for now. I've been a member of The Weather Underground for quite a few years. I'm also a member of The Citizen Weather Observer Program. Be sure to check out the section at the bottom of this page for the "About This Station" and "About This City" information. Following is just news about the site's status, thoughts, and ideas.
