We had some special visitors in the office! These second and fourth graders are studying weather in school and stopped by to learn how our meteorological instruments are built and used to monitor the weather. 🌦 Nader explains the bird spikes. A quick look at the sensors mounted on the roof of our office. The girls shared a photo of their homemade anemometer. Nice work! Thanks for stopping by!
