Nader and Gary represented CWS at the 26th Annual Winter Weather Forecast Conference hosted by the Oregon Chapter of The American Meteorological Society (AMS). Over 300 weather enthusiasts gathered at OMSI to hear local experts. Here’s a recap:

• – Mark Nelsen from FOX 12 Oregon and KPDX TV reviewed last winter’s weather, celebrating correct predictions and needling the incorrect ones.
• – Jim Todd of OMSI filled us in on astronomical events of the last year, including launches by SpaceX and Blue Origin.
• – Tyree Wilde from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Rodd Hill from KGW-TV and Kyle Dittmer from the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission predicted warmer temperatures, with estimates of snowpack and the number of snow events in Portland varied.

CWS is proud to participate with our local chapter of the AMS. We enjoy the monthly meetings, and the Winter Weather Conference is the highlight of the year!
