Welcome to the DECEMBER issue of the WEATHERFUN Newsletter


Words From Jerry
Greetings fellow Weatherfun members.

Well, it seems like just a short time ago, we were talking about the beginning of hurricane season. Now hurricane season has passed, Thanksgiving is behind us, and in a few short weeks, winter, and Christmas will be here. Time sure flies when you are having fun. And fun we are having here on Weatherfun. We have grown quite a bit in the last few months and we have taken on some real sharp weather watchers. Our weatherfun.net website has grown and is under revamp by our very capable webmaster Richard Foreman.
We started out last month with just two member weather lines, and now we have eight with more members who want to have their own lines in the near future. Looks like to me folks that Weatherfun is a very successful group.
The new year will be upon us shortly and we will grown even more in the coming year. Weather wise we have had our first snowstorm here in Warren before Thanksgiving, that gave us 5 inches of that terrible white stuff. I don't know about your part of the country, but it looks like we could have a pretty snowy winter here at Weatherfun Headquarters. I knew I should have gone south.
We are a great group. A great bunch of weather watchers, and a great group of friends. Susan and I, and everyone here in Warren would like to wish you all a very Happy Holiday season. We hope you all enjoy the Christmas Season with your family, enjoy their company, their love, your Weatherfun family, and that fact that in this great nation, we can all enjoy these great privileges.

Again from Susan and I a very MERRY CHRISTMAS.
