Stuff to make using the site easier ..

I use abbreviations for many things:
Precip = Precipitation
SWS = Special Weather Statements
I will continue to add more to this list as I think of them.
I update the forecasts by 7AM and 7PM each day...more frequently if some weather thing is going on.

I am based in Peterborough, NH, but the main forecasts (for now) are for Nashua, NH and the region. I send out an email every Thursday that covers the upcoming weekend forecast. I also send out advisories when issued by the NWS to this list. You will NEVER get SPAM or emails from anyone else. I don't share my mail list with anyone. If you'd like to be a part of that mailing, send your email address to: Mail List

How I started...

I've been a weather hobbyist all of my life. As a child, I used to stand outside in the rain during thunderstorms just to watch the lightning. Back in the '70s getting weather information was a chore. I remember listening to NWS broadcasts during hurricane season and plotting these on a piece of paper. After moving to New England I finally bought my first real weather station made by Davis Instruments. I began to record daily weather data in a journal. I had a few people, where I work, who knew I was a weather nut, ask me to send them an e-mail on the weekend forecast. So two grew to five then 15, then 40, and now my Thursday weekend mail list reaches over 200+ people. I took some web programming classes in the late '90s and a few years after that RichLefko.com was born. I wanted to share my hobby with anyone who was interested, and I am quite overwhelmed with how many people seem to be interested. I've gotten so many "thank yous" for a variety of reasons..."saved my party", "saved my wedding", "saved my life." It's been fun and rewarding all at the same time.
Thanks for visiting RichLefko.com. Please tell your friends and family.

The Rules

This contest is closed---see who won below.

Adding to our weekly Thursday email blast list, and our Advisory Email list, helps RichLefko.Com in a variety of ways.

First and foremost, you the viewer, will have a "push" type message sent right to your in box with instant weather related advisories and future storm forecasts.
With my contacts, I have the inside scoop on when storms may be coming well in advance of the actual forecasts.

Our sponsors look at this as a larger audience for their products. This means they see value in continuing to help RichLefko.com, and it also gives us some added weight to sign on new sponsors should we need to.

The prize for this contest:

You'll win a $25 Dunkin Donuts Gift Card contributed by the good folks at Peters Nissan of Nashua NH.
This contest ends on December 6th, 2008.

The ground rules:

I'm sure that many of you forward the Thursday Weekend Email forecast as well as the advisory emails I send about upcoming storms.
What I'd like you to do is ASK those folks if they would like to be on the list directly. If they say yes, then send me their email address (to the email listed below) and they will get a nice "Welcome to the Family" email explaining what emails they will get and when.
They (and you) ALWAYS have the option to drop off the list at anytime.

Two things are important to note:

1) I want you to ASK permission. I really don't want anyone on the list who does not want to be there.

2) I NEVER EVER share these addresses. In addition, they are locked up on a Mac with no virus worries. You'll never get SPAM. So subscribing is very safe.

That is about it .......I'll keep track of how many people you sign up, and the person who signs up the most by December 6th wins the Dunkin Donuts gift card. Ties will go to the person who signed someone up at the earliest date.

This is very important to our survival, so please participate.

Thank you

Rich
