Pine Tree Weather is a labor of love, but that love takes funding.
My operating budget is $4,500 per year. That pays for the weather data subscriptions, software, this website, graphics, and technology required to bring you a quality product. That doesn't even include countless hours of research, writing, and producing discussions on this site and on Facebook.
