WeatherBrains 113: Focus on Snow and Flooding
WeatherBrains Episode 113 is now online (March 25, 2008). This is THE netcast audio program for people who absolutely love everything weather.
We are pleased to have a new show sponsor in Stratus Station. Stratus Station has some of the best equipment for live views of the weather with sky cameras coupled with a complete weather station.
Caribou NWS answers their phone and we have a nice chat with LeeAnn Allegretto. Snow fall has surpassed the all time record there causing some interesting problems especially for drivers. LeeAnn notes that the snow removal has resulted in many road side signs becoming buried. Putting your mind around 186 inches is something that is hard to grasp.
And when was the last time there was much talk about flooding? Heavy rains over the central part of the country last week have swollen rivers like the Ohio and portions of the Mississippi River.
Mailbag: And who even knows who will be handling the duties of EMO tonight? We certainly don’t. Our E-Mail comes from James Spann who handles the mail bag, taking on feedback from listeners.
From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: A question from a listener named Rod sets the illustrious professor on the hunt for the 540 line and what it means to forecasters. Geopotential what?
