    even if you have no intention or opportunity
    to be a weather spotter, the information in
    the training session is fascinating.... and free!

    basically it is a mini-class about the
    anatomy of a thunderstormand the
    severe weather it generates...

    those big raindrops that just
    SPLAT on the windshield?

    the water of a melted hailstone
    about the size of a pea, indicating
    that the updraft is weakening....

    cool beans, eh?
