If you know how to read the Skew-T weather map, you can figure out exactly how high those clouds are, layer by layer!

| Comments (0)

It's not a sign telling us the end of the world is near, it's not a sign of the Second Coming of Christ, heck it's not much of a sign at all. It is, however, a beautiful thing we sometimes see in the night sky. It's another beautiful part of nature. It's the ring around the moon.

| Comments (0)

As I walked out the door this morning, I turned to my wife and said, "I know we used to have neighbors. There was a house right across the street... now it's gone!"

Keep in mind, I work late at night, so walking my wife to her car at 7am is the middle of the night for me. I'm not sure if my eyes are just glazed over, or if the neighborhood has disappeared into a sea of gray muck.

"Oh great," says Mrs. WeathermanTim. "It'll take me forever to get to work this morning."

Ah yes, fog.
