Severe Weather Spotting
This month we are lucky to welcome Jeremy Bower, the owner of JRBStorm Photography, who will talk about what the severe weather spotter needs to know during a storm deployment.
Jeremy holds a B.S. in Atmospheric Science from Ohio State University and has been a storm chaser, University of Nebraska Vortex Intercept Team member, forecaster, and meteorologist for the Lancaster County Emergency Management Agency (EMA). His work has been showcased on The Weather Channel, National Geographic, and the National Weather Service. Jeremy has blended his weather and photography passions and developed educational and outreach channels. I’m sure he will show us some of his spectacular images, too.

Lew Sieber: NFS Fire Shop Manager
We are honored to have Lew Sieber, Nebraska Forest Service Fire Shop manager, as our first presenter of the year. In this role, Lew provides an interesting service to volunteer fire departments, state and local government leaders, and Nebraska’s citizens. Most people do not realize how this benefits Nebraskans.
We are planning for the meeting to be at Northern Lighthouse Church on February 10, assuming Lancaster county COVID-19 levels stay in the orange. Masks and physical distancing are required, and sanitizer will be available. Family members who reside under the same roof may sit together. A Zoom link (bit.ly/LARCFeb21) is available for those who do not yet feel comfortable attending in-person gatherings.
January Club Meeting

ISO Your Great Ideas!
Happy New Year, hopefully. I’m sure you’ll agree that 2020 was a year not worth repeating. The LARC Board appreciates each member’s continued participation during the pandemic.
We will not have a formal program during the January 13 meeting. Instead, LARC president Ed Holloway, KØRPT, and I will lead a discussion about ways the club can plan social events and functions within the county’s current DHMs.
What topics or presenters do you want to be featured at the 10 remaining meetings, February through November of 2021?
Creative ideas that provide socialization while keeping everyone safe will be welcomed during this discussion.
