Large white snowflakes falling from the sky - meandering slowly to the ground below. The brown grass below slowly turning snow white. People hustling to and from their cars into their homes and stores.

It's beautiful! To a southerner. But as I found out this week, it's all a matter of perspective.

We could probably do a daily Global Warming Update, but there are plenty of places already doing that. Instead, I promise to continue to keep a look out for pertinent articles, books and stories about the Climate Change and from time to time give you the good stuff here on TheFunTimesGuide.com. Here is information about a new book, a recent article about the ice age of the 1970s and other goodies to help you build your knowledge about Global Warming.

Weather radar can be a complicated thing to understand. But there are many great websites where you can learn about severe weather and track storms right along with the professional meteorologists on television.

A NOAA Weather Radio can save your life. Period.

Every home, every office, every school should have one.
