It’s the holiday time of year. Time to set aside the barometer and the snow measuring stick and take a moment to remember and thank all those who contribute in different ways to the success of the Teton Valley Weather page and the Teton Valley News Weather Blog. The first ones that come to mind are the people I meet daily who tell me how helpful the information is to them. We have a pretty diverse population in Teton Valley, including those who make their living through agriculture, those who commute to jobs in another city each day, those who spend nearly every waking hour on skis, and those whose job it is to serve the public right here in the valley. Each segment of the population is vital, and each one has told me they appreciate and benefit from Teton Valley Weather. You are why we are here; thank you!
The weather information that Teton Valley Weather passes along to you comes from many sources. Chief among them are the people who contribute their ideas and weather observations, either with comments on the weather page or by setting up and maintaining a weather station that reports online for all to see.
And then there are the countless professional meteorologists. They work for the National Weather Service, the National Forest Service, the US Department of Agriculture, non-profit sources like the Henry’s Fork Foundation, and numerous private organizations like my old friends at The Weather Channel. They all provide the public with vast amounts of useful knowledge for the Teton Valley weatherman to comb through.
Thanks, too, to the educators at all levels who taught the weather professionals the skills and reasoning ability they need to do their jobs and who are now preparing the professionals of the future. Without the teachers, we’d all have to start from scratch every generation.
And, most directly of course, thanks to Teton Valley News. Long before I ever dreamed of being your genial Teton Valley weatherman, someone there thought that a freely available weather page on Facebook and a weather blog would be a great way to empower the community.
Thanks to all of these people, this week, Santa can look at Teton Valley Weather from wherever he may be to find the best landing zones for his sleigh (there are many this year), know whether he needs to employ Rudolph, and avoid trouble spots on his journey.
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas, and may all your days be merry and bright.
