Alex & Kevin, Weather is a big part of astronomy. And knowing how to look at the clouds and know if it is a storm or if it might blow away, would be a great thing to have a talk about. So, yea, if your weather guy contacts me, I will definitely take him up on a presentation. Thanks for sending this my way. If he replies to you, rather than to me, let me know what he says. Thanks.
