Rainy end to the Weekend...

After a beautiful start to our weekend, Sunday ended up wet and really cool with high only hitting the low 50's across much of the state. Southeastern Oklahoma recieved up to an inch of rainfall which is welcome with the current drought we are in. Oklahoma City averaged about half an inch and rainfall totals continue to decrease the further west and northwest you go, unfortunately that's where our driest counties are located. Here is the current drought graphic:

 

Another wave of light to moderate rainfall will develop and move through the area Monday mid-day as the remainder of the storm system passes. Monday will be a cool and cloudy day. Wednesday we will return to highs in the 80's!

  Dr. Hochenauer said although he doesn't use Twitter to attract readers he said he would highly encourage the use of Twitter. He says the number one thing about being a good blogger is, writing, if you are a good writer and there are no grammar errors. Come up with a good topic to talk about that people are interested in. Popular blogs are sports, restaurants. He thinks the Oklahoman at some point will someday have a blog. Blogging can also be used to practice writing for the blogger or an online diary. He also added, if traffic is what you are looking for, post A LOT several times a week. What you post online STAYS online.

  Great speaker. The use of social media was something I did not think about. It could really help my blog get noticed by readers interested in the weather. By using social media such as Twitter or Facebook I can bring my friends and followers to my page and maybe they will retweet or share my blog and create traffic on my page. Another thing I need to work on is structure. I need to immediately attracted my reader with the first sentence of my blog and be sure the grammar and spelling are correct.
