Weather Ballon Extraction

The weather balloon was successfully removed by the wonderful Powhatan county fire dept. at the request of the National Weather Service. Thursday while at work I received several phone calls from the National Weather Service and Powhatan county dispatch letting me know the status of the weather equipment extraction from the Trees at Hickory Green Farm. All of the service people involved worked as a team with the best dispositions and professionalism. The weather is so important to many professions, but especially to farmers. We really appreciate the scientist that try to help us understand and be good stewards of this beautiful earth.

*Wish I had a video of Pearl "greeting" the fire dept. (barking her tail off) through the dinning room window on her bench. LOL She had a perfect view of the extraction from her window.

Ross and I intend on accepting the invitation to visit the weather station and watch some balloons being launched. This has been a fascinating experience for us both. Thanks to Steve & Bill at the Weather Service and to the Powhatan Sheriff's Dept., and the Powhatan County Fire Dept. there are a lot of good things happening in our community.
