Any weather junkies out there?

I was wondering if there's any truth to the stereotype of Aspies being very interested in the weather. I don't know if I have AS or not, but my 4 yo son does. Since I was 5, I always wanted to be a meteorologist (not a weather bunny ). I actually did go on to get a BS in Atmospheric Science and interned at the National Weather Service. I decided to give it all up to be a stay-at-home mom (which I have no regrets about), but still remain very interested in the weather and climate change.

So, if thermodynamics and the adiabatic process rock your world, I'd love to know!

I love storms the worse he better. I am always out in it living near the beach is an added bounus

Oh yeah! I have a weather station set up in my backyard. I've loved weather as long as I can remember, although we never seem to get many good storms here.

I'm an Autie and used to be a Sky Warn tornado spotter. I love a nice storm

I love just sitting down and watching TWC. I also check the weather every hour on my computer.

When I was little, I used to yell at the thunderstorms in hopes of making them angrier and stronger. My son has never been scared of thunderstorms either, not even as a baby. Terrified of the vacuum cleaner, not a storm!

It's interesting from a physics point of view and also climatology in general but the math soon goes over my head.

I used to leave TWC on for hours.
