Dr. WEATHER

Jim Roemer was given the nickname Dr. Weather from Stowe Mountain in 2001, due to his uncanny accuracy in forecast snowfall patterns, sometimes weeks in advance. The name has stuck every since. Jim has become a household meteorologist in the ski industry with thousands of skiers depending on his forecast to make both short term and longer term plans as to which slopes to hit. While many weather services have automated reports, in an age where life has become so impersonal, at times, Jim's reports add a unique freshness of honesty, exhuburance, personality and humor without sacrificing accuracy. "Second guessing computer models is what I do best", Jim says. Jim Roemer helped develop Freese-Notis's commodity weather forecast division back in the 1980's and early 1990's and was a frequent guest on CNBC-TV and Bloomberg. Today Jim has done considerable research and lecturing on global warming, plays competitive tennis and is a crazed skier.
