Peoria has over 140 years of documented weather and the patterns of weather change provide everyone with useful information. Farmers, gardeners, stormwater planners, landscapers and many businesses will benefit from knowing past and current weather trends.
In a June 14, 2023 article from Successful Farming magazine he said, “ If its information, if it’s data, if it’s analysis, if it will help to make a decision, whatever that is, that’s my job. That is the most important thing for people to know. I’m not a research scientist who just got plugged into this position. I’m really here to serve.”
