I've been a lurker for a long time and ya'll seemed very well versed in that which you speak of...the models, highs, lows, yadda yadda. I'm facinated by your threads and insight, but is there a layman's terms forum here anywhere? *laugh* I'm feeling really inadequate around here.

I'm in Beaumont, Texas. *waves*

Well, glad to have you posting here. Here is a site where you can look up terms that you may be unfamiliar with in order to help you understand what we're talking about. I know it's helped me somewhat trying to understand some of the things that I didn't know about.

I am also a new member here and was about to post this same question. Thanks for the links everyone! I created a folder of bookmarks for weather and added those links. I hope to soon build up enough basic knowledge to figure out what you guys are talking about :D

I have put together a page of bookmarks. Nevermind the junk on the top but, you will see what I'm talking about. I really like the fact with netscape/firefox you can make a couple of different profiles.

Always feel free to ask or PM someone -- most of us won't bite. :cheesy: Everyone on here learned from somewhere or the only was to further that process is to ask questions.
