Impressive number of "Storm Spotter Dates"... are these all mentioned on NOAA Weather Radio? There were a few per week in Massachusetts (on the National Weather Service, Taunton, MA) several years ago; so I would figure they would let the public know about them, beings that over a dozen of them are scheduled at once.

I'm not sure...someone literally stole my Noaa weather radio!! :cry: But they are all listed!! We probably have more dates because the severe potential is generally higher in this area...that is my guess anyways!

Jacki, I was/am very sorry for hearing that your NOAA Weather Radio was stolen. (I remember you mentioned (in another thread) some weeks back.

I have a new police scanner (got it five days before my new computer) where I listen to my NOAA Weather Radio frequencies for the three National Weather Service offices I am in and literally down the street from.

I have a few NOAA Weather Radios, "alone" that I don't (have to) use on a regular basis because of my ongoing use of a police scanner for over a decade.

Hey Wally Girl! The gal whom makes killer sandwitches! lol :lol:
Great list of locations - thanks for the post! Hey, I broke down and bought that small am/fm radio w/tv station and weather radio thingy-ma-jig! Could you believe War-Mart carries it? I never bothered to check until Monday and saw it. Only 28 bucks. My other little radio I use on walks pretty much kicked the bucket. If this radio kicks buttocks, then I'm gonna like take more walks this spring/summer/fall. I'm gonna look so svelt, all because of my little weather radio! lol! :lol:
I'll see you at the Admin Building, if not earlier. Sat my last day, girl! ROCK!
