I have been interested in weather since the third grade. It wasnt a huge storm that hit that got me hooked, perhaps it was just my dad watching the weather channel each morning. Whatever it was, I've been dedicated to observing, learning, and forecasting ever since. As my reputation for weather forecasting grew, at school, people would ask me about upcoming snowdays. KeeneWeather.com started in 2005 as a weblog for posting winter storm discussions, but more importantly school cancellation probabilities. It since then transformed into a giant weather forecasting webpage over the summer of 2006, with four different pages pages maintained constantly.

Weather Homepage:
Here's what to expect in a daily post:
  • The regional forecast for the day
  • The days detailed forecast for Keene, NH
  • A seven day forecast for Keene, NH
  • Summary of the week
  • In depth discussion
  • The days Climate data for Keene
  • Yesterday's weather in Keene


Once a week (usually on Sunday) a long term forecast will be posted which includes an in depth discussion and then the general outlook for the next 6 to 10 weeks. At the start of each month, climate data for Keene, as well as New England from the previous month will be posted. Also, once in a while, if there is a remarkable weather-related event whether it is purely weather, politics related, media related, etc., it will be remarked upon.

Severe Weather Outlook:
This webpage gives you details on severe weather events. Percentages at the head of the page give you the chance for severe weather, and the chance for general thunderstorms. Severe weather is defined as the NWS criteria plus flood potential.

Tropical Weather Outlook:
This webpage gives you details on tropical weather in the Atlantic. It also focuses on tropical threats to New England. Percentages at the head of the page give you the chance for tropical storm conditions in Keene. Tropical Storm conditions is defined as >39mph sustained winds, flood potential, and/or NWS severe criteria, all being produced by a tropical cyclone.

Winter Weather Outlook:
This webpage gives you details on all winter weather events: cold, snow, ice, etc.
Percentages at the head of the page give you the chance for a winter event and a severe winter event. A “winter event” is defined as any winter weather that requires an advisory or warning from the NWS. A “severe winter event” is defined as a winter weather event that requires a warning from the NWS.

Hi Sam, I've been working on a hyper-local website for Keene and wanted to see if you had any interest in syndicating your blog. If so, just let me know and we can discuss the details (back links to keeneweather.com, promotion, etc.).

Thanks,

Hi Sam....I got your name from Steve Hooper and checked out your weather site...Great site! very informative and great weather sources..He spoke highly of your knowledge and site. I have a weather site in Hull Mass and you can reach it at http://www.northeastweathereye.com I was the Jaffrey weather observer for several years when I lived there. I did wxobs for the National Weather Service of Taunton and Gray Maine. Steve and I are long time friends and coworkers. I freelanced for the Sentinel for many years before moving back to Massachusetts. Anyways..regarding this weeks weather woes..its going to be interesting on how the models resovlve this and how it all pans out. personally I would toss out the NAM and secondly..if this grows to the size and strength as some models show..it will create its own cold airmass and pull the polar vortex right into it..Tomorrows models should have a pretty good handle on it. I believe Keene will do well. Again great site!

Thanks Craig! You have an excellent site! I am getting very excited for this week ahead. The NAM has moved into a similar camp with the GFS, and I think we are good to go for at least 6" to 12" Tuesday through Wednesday. And then maybe something even bigger to end the week!
 
Hi Sam.... I placed a link to your site on my weather site...thank you for your comments...Big time happenings with the upcoming week..You guys up in Keene will be digging for some time up there when all said and done..I am sure I will be to here in Eastern Mass..In all my years in weather..I have never seen the models show such explosive resoltutions to what this week will be like..amazing! Keep up the great work!
