I've been creating or updating articles on weather, especially Minnesota, it's climate and its historical weather events. I also will update articles on Minnesota Golden Gophers sports topics from time to time. I enjoy adding structure to articles that have good information but are poorly laid out, and for some reason I enjoy taking on tedious tasks. I've been editing Wikipedia for about two years now and have almost 8600 edits as of March, 2009 ([http://toolserver.org/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=WxGopher&site=en.wikipedia.org]).
Articles of particular interest
- TCF Bank Stadium: September can't come soon enough!
- 1998 Comfrey – St. Peter tornado outbreak: A 15 minute stop at a restaurant may have kept this outbreak from blowing a barn onto my car.
- Storm of the Century (1993) - Easily the craziest weather event I've ever experienced.
- Halloween Blizzard - The largest snowstorm I can remember.
- Natural disasters in Minnesota: This page leads to a lot of what I've been working on.
