Dreaming of a White Christmas?Snow on Christmas in South Carolina is rare, but not unheard of. It just takes alot of haggling between Snowmiser and Heatmiser to get it to snow in Southtown.

My Shiny FingernailTonight I blog about a wierd experience at the mall, plus I will answer a question about the “Drizzle Radar”.

Drizzle RadarTitan Radar is among the most powerful and detailed weather radars available. It can spot thunderstorms hundreds of miles away, and can also see small scale events like a sea breeze. A new research radar in Europe can see even smaller weather events.

2007 Hurricane Season RecordsBack in November I blogged about all of the records that were set during the 2005 hurricane season. There were so many, that I’m not even sure I got them all. This past season did not set as many records, but still set a few.

Wild Weather!Today’s weather was wonderful, but it is not supposed to be 80 degrees in December. Add that to what some are calling the worst ice storm in Oklahoma City’s history and something brewing in the tropics, and you have some pretty wild weather.

Lightning & Cell PhonesTalking on a phone during a lightning storm can be dangerous. An old fashioned, wired to the wall phone can carry lightning in from the outside, but what about a cell phone?
An update to yesterday’s blog about the problems with GOES-12, and the potential remedies.

Flying BlindGOES-12 is undergoing an orbit adjustment today, and I have been without satellite data all day. It’s a good thing our weather is calm!

Giant Seed VaultEver think about what would happen to your favorite plants if a planetary disaster changed our climate? Something like global warming, a meteorite strike, nuclear or biological warfare, or gene pollution from transgenic plants? Well, they have in Norway, and they are doing something about it.
