PP Pete Runquist presents Alex Kirchner with a Rotary coffee cup.
 
     On January 30th, Alex Kirchner, Chief Meteorologist for WREX, talked about a number of topics related to weather starting off with the status of the weather staff at WREX which was the big elephant in the room.  He didn't know too much that wasn't already reported in the local news, but he still has a job.  He talked about how he comes up with his weather forecasts, climate change, the California wildfires, the snowstorm along the gulf coast, and answered a number of questions.  At times he reverted to a simpler language that he uses when he talks to school kids.  All in all it was an interesting and informative program.
