Thank you for all your support!  Alex and I have been extremely grateful for the opportunity to forecast for the lovely state of Maine! I wanted to thank each and every person who has said kind words, sent appreciation, and who have just read our forecasts, because without you all, we wouldn't have been able to reach out to Mike when our own summer internships fell through and forecast remotely for Maine. Thank you all so much, and if you'd like to contribute to our efforts, our Venmos are above (never expected, but always appreciated!). Help forecast verification, and stay informed!
