We have a unique situation locally. An amatuer meteorologist started turning in his forecasts to the local radio station about 30 years ago, and asked only that they compare his forecasts to what actually happened, and compare to the accuracy of the pro forecasts they were using. He turned out to be much more accurate, and has been their weather guy ever since. He is a locomotive engineer by trade, and I don't know if he has any formal training in weather. He sometimes hedges on the longer term forecasts- gives 2 or 3 possible scenarios, and tells which he thinks is most likely. But usually, he gives an accurate forecast for about 3 days out.
He's kind of a local celebrity- speaks at schools, etc. He's been keeping records at his "Newaukum Hill weather station" for about 40 years now. He's forecasting snow above 500 feet elevation on Friday- told us the earliest snow hereabouts was November 5, 1973. You don't get that kind of stuff from the Associated Press.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
