Comings and Goings…

By Hendricus Lulofs

I would like to let the many weather spotters that I have met over the years know that I have accepted a promotion that has required me to move to Blacksburg, VA. I appreciate the many weather spotters who have contributed valuable reports during my tenure. Soon a new Warning Coordination Meteorologist will take over my role at the Caribou office. I hope that you will welcome this person and continue to make your reports. I leave the area with mixed emotions. Since starting the Warning Coordination program at Caribou a lot has been accomplished. Amongst many, the two I am proudest of are: 1. Our weather spotter numbers have grown from around 100 spotters to close to 500 spotters! And 2. Our NOAA Weather Radio coverage expanded from 2 transmitters to 8 transmitters. These could not have been accomplished without the support and participation from our weather spotter and emergency management communities. I wish everyone the best.

Sincerely,
