This is One Groovy Vantage Pro

What’s that we hear? Sounds like, “Good morning, starshine!” You don’t hear it? Maybe you’re just not old enough to truly appreciate this vehicle!

Matthew Pace must be an old soul. He has aptly blended one of the best things from his generation – the Vantage Pro – with one of the best from a past generation: a fully restored 1969 Volkswagen bus!

Matthew, a college student majoring in Meteorology/Climatology in a transfer program to Arizona State University, is extremely active in the weather community.

“In addition to my own research projects, I also share weather information with the National Weather Service in Phoenix (as a Sky Warn Spotter) and NOAA (CWOP). Besides working at the college, I also maintain the campus weather station. For three years I volunteered in creating and sponsoring a Weather Club for children in a local school district. We discussed a different type of weather phenomena at each meeting, and did a simple hands-on project that related to that particular subject (i.e. rain gauge, cloud mobile, anemometer, etc.).”

Matthew, we say let the sunshine in, because this is the time of the season, na na na, hey hey. Sing along while you dheck out his WeatherBus website.
