After three years of operating Vogt WeatherWatcher, the community has grown to almost 9,000 user accounts across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you all. The experience gained from running this service has been invaluable and I cannot thank you enough for that.

Starting today, Vogt WeatherWatcher is going to the next level: operating as a business. This will provide users a Premium Membership option, a feature in which members will have access to Preliminary Predictions, videos, and more, all for $19.99 a year. All Premium membership content is new to the service; everything that has been done in the past for free (including First, Second, and Final Predictions; Daily Forecasts; and text alerts) will remain free. The website has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, adding a refreshing look to the service. It now includes information such as accuracy data, forms for road reports, the daily forecasts and predictions, and more.

I am very excited about these changes. I think they are a win-win for both you and me as more content is being provided than ever before. As always, I cannot express my sincere appreciation for each and every one of you. Without you, this service would not be where it is today — you would not be looking at this website right now. I am glad you are part of the awesome community that makes Vogt WeatherWatcher what it is and I look forward to serving you this year and next winter.
