Regular followers of this blog know how much I respect the work of the National Weather Service, from our local Weather Forecast Offices -- mine is NWS Philadephia/Mt. Holly to the River Forecast Centers with a special shout out to the Mid-Atlantic River Forecast Center to the Storm Prediction Center to the Hurricane Center and to the NWS Incident Meteorologists. And this list only a partial list of all the National Weather Service does for us here in the United States. In celebration of their 150 years of service the National Weather Service has a NWS Heritage webpage chock full of links with history of the NWS, stories, and links to local Weather Forecast Offices, River Forecast Centers and other Service Units. You may go here for a brief NWS Heritage Fact Sheet

Words of thanks to all at the National Weather Service for all you do to keep us safe don't seem adequate. That being said, I thank-you with a smile on my face.
