Maryland Weather Blog rated among the best
The Maryland Weather Blog has been rated among the 49 best meteorology blogs on the Internet by yet another blog - Engineering Degrees Online.
We are listed as seventh in the "Local and National Meteorology Blogs" category. Not sure if the ordering has any meaning. (Maybe there ARE only 49 weather blogs.) But hey, we're happy to get noticed. If nothing else, it's a handy guide to some of the other weather blogs out there.
The Maryland Weather Blog has been up and running since September 2004, the Baltimore Sun's first online blog. We frequently rank among the most-visited in The Sun's roster of 39 blogs. Last week we recorded more than 106,000 page views, second only to Ravens Insider and Orioles Insider blogs. More than half of those hits were local.
The Sun continues to work to improve the weather information we provide to readers. Next Sunday we plan to debut our new, half-page, four-color print weather feature. We'll have more here later in the week about what new information you'll find there.
Thanks for reading The Sun, in print and online.

Frank,
We obviously have our differences on global warming, however let me be one of the first to say this is a very fun and educational site. I enjoy reading about not only the updates on big snowstorms but also other meteorology-related tidbits as well. Keep up the good work.
FR: Much appreciated. Thanks.

I agree that this weather blog is among the best and most informative. I appreciate the way you agglomerate information from several different sources to provide a comprehensive, detailed forecast that readers can actually use. You leave out the ambiguity and vague parlance of many forecasters today. This blog is certainly better than any TV forecasts. Thanks and keep up the good work.
