Weather Weenie Of The Week Board at CSU

The Weather Weenie board was instituted in September of 1989 by Ian Baker, and then joined by Mark Branson, and Ian Wittmeyer, as a way to enshrine those people who make comments incorporating atmospheric jargon into everyday conversation.

The idea of a Weather Weenie is not new. People here at the Colorado State University Atmospheric Science Department have long used the name, but it is only in the last ten years that they have been recorded for posterity.

After some slow years, when the WWW board fell into disrepair, a hastily-formed junta consisting of Brian McNoldy, Chris Rozoff, Matt Rogers, and John Haynes decided to take the reins of the Weenie board, and bring it to its former underground glory. Hence, this updated, redesigned webpage. We also have a new World-Wide-Web Weather Weenie Of The Week Voting Board (WWWWWWVB) to find you guys out. If you find yourself on this board, be proud of your weather wisdom as well as how you present it at (occasionally) inopportune times.
