I have always loved the weather, but my obsessive love for weather really took off in December of 2003. All through the month, several strong winter storms hit the area. WBZ asked for viewer snow totals, so I sent in the total from my backyard. After seeing the total on TV, I became quite excited! All through the winter, I continued to report my snowfall to the Channel 4 weather team.

In the spring, when there was no longer any snow to report, I found myself craving the weather. I then began reporting for Channel 7 (WHDH) in Boston several times a day. In the summer of 2004, I began reporting to other stations in the Boston market. By the end of the summer, my reports could be frequently seen on WBZ-TV, WCVB-TV, WHDH-TV, NECN, WFXT-TV and WLVI-TV and still are today. I also would send in reports to the National Weather Service.  I absolutely fell in love with weather as the months went on. No longer was I just a spotter hoping to get on TV. Instead, I was genuinely taken with the science behind weather. During the summer months, in addition to observing the weather, I started to learn how to forecast the weather. Slowly, my understanding for how to predict the weather increased. I then launched a very basic website, http://hinghamweather.fcpages.com, which provided weather observations, news and my forecast. It got very few visits, but I loved it.

In the fall of 2004, I moved my website to another free host, this time the URL was http://hinghamwx.tripod.com. It is here where my site stayed until October of 2005. However, pop ups and low rankings on search engines soon became an annoyance.

In the meantime, during April of 2005, I began a weather spotter group. I invited weather lovers from around the US and the world to join. So far, the Hinghamwx weather group has attracted more than 280 people. Together, we share weather stories and weather observations.

In October of 2005, I finally got my own domain, www.hinghamweather.com. With the new site, I have reached out to thousands of visitors from around the world and have become well known in Hingham for my love of meteorology.

In 2006, I started spotting for TV stations in New Hampshire and Rhode Island markets and have also teamed up with various websites to provide as many people as possible with accurate forecasts. One of those websites is www.northeastsurfing.com. I also have partnered with Hingham Broadcast News where we film a weekly weather forecast for all to see! 2006 also brought feature stories in area newspapers about my love of weather and my weather website.

In the Spring of 2007, I was trained by the National Weather Service, and am now an official National Weather Service SKYWARN storm spotter.

This is the panel that shows all of the current weather conditions here at HinghamWeather.com. All of the weather is available at the simple push of a button.

This is our indoor temperature sensor, barometer and indoor hygrometer.

This is our rain gauge. All data is then sent to our main control panel.

This is our snow stick. Very simple to understand...it measures snow.

This is one of two digital thermometer sensors. This is our back up and we use it to make sure we are getting the most accurate reading possible.

This is the indoor temperature sensor and control panel for our backup thermometer.

This is our main digital thermometer. It also is our outdoor hygrometer which calculates relative humidity and dew point.

This is our anemometer. It is located on our roof and relays wind data to our main control.

This is our handheld anemometer. All that means is handheld wind gauge. This allows us to go out on location and instantly know the wind speed, gusts, temperature and wind chill.

This is our police/fire/SKYWARN scanner. With this, we can pinpoint where storm damage has occurred around the area. It also gives us the ability to follow news stories as they break.

This is our NOAA all hazards radio. When an alert comes out from the National Weather Service for our area, lights flash, sirens sound and the alert is read over the radio. It also provides forecasts for the area. It is especially helpful when the power is out and we have no access to the computer.

A key to our extreme storm coverage is our Storm LAB radar program. The radar features help to pin point the worst of the weather, allowing us to pass that information on to our viewers. You can view our StormTracker Radar (powered by StormLab) here.

InterWARN is our program that brings in every single alert from the National Weather Service Offices from around New England. Some of this program's features can be found on our alert page.
