Article About Me, Route 20 Weather & My Life As A Meteorologist

So, I was interviewed by Worcester Magazine & the Telegram & Gazette very recently. Article is pretty much about me, my interest & work in meteorology, Route 20 Weather & other weather items. I really liked how the article was written & how it turned out & honestly, I think it's pretty awesome.

The article is both online on Worcester Magazine's website & the website of the T&G . Additionally, the article is also in the Sunday edition of the T&G, which I have attached to this post.
