Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Lawmaker proposes bill to censor National Weather Service website
OK, this is rich. A congressman from Pennsylvania, is proposing a law which would cut the NWS site off at the knees. Keep in mind that the NWS is paid for by our tax dollars, and it's a very good place to get weather info., one of the best. Pilots and sailors use it for life and death information.
Although it costs nothing to view, the cost is automatically included in your federal income tax. We all pay for it.
Why would he want to do that, you might ask.
Well, the reason he wants to do this is because his home state (Penn.), has around a dozen "paid" weather services, and they are lobbying him to shut down the "free" NWS site because it is so good, they can't compete with it, even though we have already bought and paid for it.
I know what I think about this. What do you think?

I find it shocking that there are politicians out there with personal agendas.
My opinion on it is, what do you expect? The corrupt are running the country.

Jamie, the corrupt are not running our country, but they sure as hell are giving it their best shot.
We will see how that works out for them. In the meantime, keep thinking. Ritchie

I disagree. Have you been keeping tabs on the current administration? Our often missing, partially illiterate president and his war for oil..uhh..avenging his daddy..uhh WMDs. Yeah, thats it, WMDs.
Please don't take me as a sissy left wing liberal. I am certainly not. I just am disappointed in the direction this country is going.
