When I visit schools, I’m often asked how I became interested in the weather. Observing the weather as a high school student and as a college student studying meteorology at Lyndon State College in Vermont played a very important role in my professional growth. Growing up in eastern Massachusetts, I had many opportunities to be an eyewitness to a number of major weather events like Hurricane Gloria in 1985, and the March “Superstorm” of 1993.  I also had the unique opportunity and privilege to work at and intern at the Blue Hill Observatory, which holds the title for the longest, most homogeneous climate record in the United States. They’ve never missed a day of weather observations since April 1, 1885. Now that’s what I call dedication!

The Chris Lee scandal hit the internet Wednesday afternoon. By 6 p.m., he resigned.

Experts say it's proof of the lightning fast impact of the internet and social media websites. Ironically, Lee presented himself as a congressman able to master the potential of social media but in some ways it was also his undoing.

Media experts call the increasing speed of information -- the news diffusion theory and it goes like this. After President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address, it took three months for some parts of the country to find out about it. After president Kennedy was assassinated, it took six hours for 90-percent of the country to hear the news. Now in 2011, it's a matter of minutes.

The Chris Lee scandal started, peaked and ended in less time than it takes for some football games.

Many have wondered if it's because of the internet and social media websites but media experts disagree.
