wb020909.mp3
We have another great guest this week thanks to Dr. Tim Coleman. We chat with Dave Schwartz formerly of The Weather Channel. A lifelong weather buff, Dave loves tracking and discussing nor’easters, hurricanes, and other dramatic weather. Naturally, the Blizzard of ’93 is tops as one of his favorite weather event. A native of Philadelphia, PA, Dave attended Arizona State University and graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. Before The Weather Channel, Dave worked for twelve years in the mental health field. He joined The Weather Channel in 1985, working both in the Forecast Center and as a radio broadcaster, before honing his camera work through The Weather Channel’s Apprentice Program. He first appeared on-air full time at The Weather Channel in June, 1991. Dave traces his interest in weather to watching the sky and the tornado from the wonderful movie, “The Wizard of Oz.” Beside old movies and cloud watching, Dave has a variety of interests including physical fitness, dancing, singing, and art.
Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:
Our mail bag has been postponed until next week.
A future guest will also come from The Weather Channel, Stu Ostro, in about two weeks and next week we’ll have Doug Gilliam from Mississippi State University talking about the work flow for forecasting – and he should know since he’s won many a forecasting contest.
From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: The professor delves into a bit of history this week as he looks at how old the field of meteorology really is. Most people probably think it is a rather young topic, but some of the earliest study and writings can be traced all the way back to Aristotle and Hippocrates.
TWIWH: Bill Murray takes a look at This Week in Weather History with a look at the week of February 11th through February 18th. And as you might expect, cold weather made some headlines with brutally cold air and a major snow event that stretched from Florida to Maine.
Listener Surveys: Okay, we continue to drive this topic into the ground, but we really do like to hear from you. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to fill out the Listener Survey.

WeatherBrains 101: It has certainly been a long time since the young professor has seen a display of these during his early years in Vermont. So this week it’s a look at the aurora borealis or northern lights. What are they and what causes them? Is there a southern equivalent?
