We are very excited to have you join us and look at the work of our talented students.

Mark Reynolds - WJHL - Always great to see a high school student interested in the field of meteorology. I want to give a "Shout-Out" to Lindsey Nickodam, a 9th grade student from Lee High School - Lee County, Virginia. Thanks so much to her wonderful Earth Science Teacher - Melissa McDonald for bringing her into the station today - 1 hour car trip. You never know, one day you might see Lindsey doing the weather on tv! Best of Luck in your schooling and with future career Lindsey! Great to meet both of you!
