Kids interested in clouds? Weather patterns? Check out this kid friendly site!

my daughter LOVES watching the sky...we call her the 'weather girl'.  She is always looking up and informing us when storm clouds are approaching.  We went to our local library and were very disappointed in the cloud description books they had.  This site is great. Check it out!
