Yesterday I did a little happy dance when I saw that New York City had been placed under a heavy snow warning. If you knew what wild weather meant for us here at WeatherPlus, you would understand why it might be natural to pray for sunny skies everyday.

See, while I am fascinated by what Mother Nature can do, her fury means long days, little sleep and downright deliriousness. You may have seen Gary's blog on Saturday about what full-on storm mode is like here at WeatherPlus.

I like to say that I have the weather "gene" if you will. Ever since I was little, I've been fascinated by Mother Nature's fury. I suppose that sounds a bit morbid. Obviously the destruction that results is a terrible thing, but it's hard not to be in awe of things like tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning, hail, high winds and blizzards. Or maybe it's just me?

So the question is why oh why was I doing this happy dance? No matter how long the hours or how little the sleep, Mother Nature continues to fascinate...it never gets old for me. The only thing is...I'm still awaiting my first big New York City snow. Oh well, maybe next time.
