Ahhh, I know it has been a LONG time since I have updated my personal blog page. The good news is that the real page, StormChasingVideo.com which was my main master project is always being updated with new content.
So what have I been up to for this summer? The northern plains chase season has been pretty much a bust which is ok by me. It has given me time to reflect on life and work more on my company. We (all of us) have been working on some great new exciting stuff for the later half of 2013 Hurricane and Winter seasons and the upcoming 2014 chase season.
Yes, I have not updated my blog in a month. I don't know where to really begin so I will start with what is happening right now. I'm sitting at the 58 Club in Champlin, MN waiting for my Juicy Lucy to cool down while sipping on a Pale Ale for a late dinner.
The proper way to eat a Juicy Lucy is to eat the fries first and to let the burger cool down. If you don't, you will end up with cheese running down the front of your shirt.
Wow, the month of April has been one busy one with a ton of weather that I have been working for StormChasingVideo.com along with my own footage.
The snow did not seem to want to end all April and we went from temps in the 20s to temps in the 70s within a few days and now the forecast shows we might be getting more snow later this week.
A major winter storm hit the central Minnesota city of Saint Cloud hard before noon on Thursday. The storm dumped 9 inches of very heavy wet snow on the area and made driving extremely dangerous.

I have been busy working on stuff for StormChasingVideo.com and our new partnership with the LNVN setup for streaming this year. So I have been off line for my page updates for a couple of weeks but I'm back.
Today was the first day of spring and the first day I have been able to get any work done at the office after an insane weekend.
First the shooting on the north side of Saint Cloud, then the winter storm Friday night, followed by Saint Patrick's Day and one of the most vivid Aurora Borealis displays ever. I did not get much sleep on Sunday and when I finally got to sleep, I had to wake up and go back out into the blizzard up towards Alexandria, MN.
Hey it is amazing, I'm actually updating the blog more then once every few months... I have been pretty busy but I am trying to get this page updated with the new stuff that I have been shooting on a timely bases.
