I love Doppler radar


I'm back to commuting on my bike which is great. I like feeling the different weather and watching Spring happen along the bike path. I love the smell after a rain when the air turns warm and rich with wildflowers. I love Springs ever changing weather. Because of the ever changing weather and the bike commuting, I love Doppler Radar. Yep. Doppler Radar!

I use Watson (http://www.karelia.com/watson/) to check the Doppler Radar movies when I'm getting ready to leave. Yesterday, it showed a tiny little cell moving over Madison. I decided I would wait for the cell to pass. A few minutes later, the sky fell in golf ball sized rain drop chunks. It poured like there was no tomorrow. It was one of those rains that, if you are caught running from your car to a store, your soaked by the time you get in.

I sat out the storm then dashed before the big front hit. Gotta love Doppler Radar.
