WeatherBrains 152: Christmas Edition

WeatherBrains Episode 152 is now online (December 22, 2008). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!

This week we talk with Matt Allen, former punter for the New York Giants, about what it is like playing on the frozen tundra in the National Football League. Seems like most teams are playing in frigid conditions these days.

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

  • This is global warming?
  • A peek at Christmas week weather around the nation
  • Memories of Christmas eve as a teenager growing up in radio
  • and more!
  • Our mail bag has been getting some attention and James puts it in perspective.

    From The Weather Center:

    WeatherBrains 101: The professor is working hard filling in on the morning shift duties on television, so he takes a moment to define what a surface analysis is. This is one of the basic building blocks to understanding the weather that will affect you.

    TWIWH: Bill Murray looks back at the week of December 23rd with a peek at some weather from down under!
