Here's what's going on!

Here's what's going on in the life of Leah Dailey. I've been job searching within the past 6 months or so. It mainly has been pretty slow go. Although, I recently accepted a summer internship position to preform research on cloud seeding in North Dakota. I leave May 21 and attend ground school the 24-26. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. If you're not familiar with cloud seeding, it is the process of dispensing silver iodide into the clouds to modify the weather.This is done mainly to enhance precipitation, yet you can also change the type of precipitation. This method is very important to avid farming areas that can be prone to drought. You can dispense the silver iodide through airplanes, small rockets, or ground dispensers. We will mainly be using airplanes. I only know the main processes of cloud seeding so I'm excited to learn more about this technology.

Even though cloud seeding has been around since the 40s, it is fairly new in the fact that much is yet to be learned. I will be working and living with a team of researchers for 3 months while working on this project. I have never been to North Dakota, so this will be a whole new experience for me. I will rotate between Stanley, Bowman, and Bismarck. Maybe this can open a whole new set of doors for me in meteorology.

I still plan to pursue my dream of becoming a Broadcast Meteorologist. I have recently been recording shows and am getting a new resume tape professionally made. This is one of my latest shows at ABC 33/40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxE5DRcE-co . Towards the end of the summer, and during my last few weeks in North Dakota I will start the job search again. Hopefully in a whole new way. Keep an eye out here for interesting updates and happenings in North Dakota.
