Chase Trip 2014 Begins

Greetings friends, relatives, general admirers, and potential unknowns:

Given the immense success of the award-winning (not really) "Hovanics in Europe" blog that burst onto the internet blogging scene over 2 years ago, we've decided to do a blog for this year's storm chasing trip. As many in the audience may know, Renee and myself are both meteorologists with a substantial affinity for storm chasing. Given aforementioned trips to Europe, and moves west of the Rocky Mountains, very few opportunities for storm chasing have presented themselves over the past 2 years. This "storm chase drought" will be swiftly coming to an end over the next week, as Renee, myself, and former co-worker/current friend Nick Biermann (also a Wisconsin native like Renee) accompany us on a jaunt across the Great Plains. First off, I'm not entirely sure what the exact update timetable of this blog will be, so please don't cancel your evening plans lying in wait at the computer, salivating at the prospects of the next blog update. This being said, I hope to update the blog daily, accompanied by photographs and video clips. Nick will be arriving at our hotel here in North Platte, Nebraska in appoximately 30 minutes, making a long trek up from Norman, Oklahoma today. First thoughts suggest a chase target in either south-central Nebraska or southeastern South Dakota tomorrow. Anyhow, that's all for now.
