About Dr. Reed
The host of the hit show Storm Chasers for four seasons, Dr. Reed Timmer has been chasing tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, and wildfires his entire life. His fascination with extreme weather led him to earn a PhD in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma, naturally situated in the heart of Tornado Alley. For decades he’s been roaming the country in a series of custom storm-chasing vehicles named “Dominator,” educating the world on weather safety and the causes of some of nature’s most powerful weather events.
About the class
Oh the weather outside is frightful--and to a storm chaser, that’s quite delightful! Join extreme storm chaser Dr. Reed Timmer to explore the world’s wildest winter weather: blizzards, ice storms, avalanches, the lake effect snow machine, and even “thunder snow.” Students will learn where and why these storms happen during this combined field trip and “snow day,” all in one.
