One of my hobbies is the weather. My motto on the weather is: The
more information, the better.

The Snow Zone
Here's a page I
started to list out Snow Totals year over year, so that I could
compare them. |
Tropical Weather: Named
Storm Summary for 2008
I know. I live in the Pacific Northwest... A LONG ways from the
Atlantic Tropics, and not at risk from any sort of tropical
activity. But, I have family who live in Florida, and I've
been fascinated by the annual round of storms since I was a kid.
I played around with keeping track of various weather storms
throughout the year.
I stopped in 2009, and it almost seemed as if the storms
stopped with me. Also -
2007,
2006,
2005,
and
2004

Will it be FIRE or ICE???
Journalists have warned of climate change for 100 years, but can’t
decide weather we face an ice age or warming

Named Storms since 1886
September sure has been busy over the years! |
The
difference between Extratropical and Tropical
NO tropical storm has hit Washington, and only one has hit any portion
of the West Coast... Storm have hit that have winds higher than
39mph, but they were "Extratropical"... So what IS the difference? |
Are Tornadoes on the rise?
Take a quick look at the chart, and you might end up thinking that
there's more tornadoes... but are there? |
The Enhanced Fujita Scale
The scale that is used to rank tornadoes has been updated a few
times over the years. |

Frequency
Where DO hurricanes strike the most? They sure do seem to have
their favorite destinations! |

National
Weather Service
This is where everyone else gets their weather from... why not get it
from the source?Western Regional
office
This is the National Weather Service's Western Regional Office home
page.
Weatherbase.com
This site is an excellent resource for Climate information for just
about any place on Earth!
Weather Underground
This is my favorite weather site... hands down. VERY detailed
reports and predictions, great picture database, and only $5 to join
for a year of no ads!
The
Weather Channel
This should be a no brainer as far as a weather site goes...
Good site, with smaller versions of the graphics you see on TV.
AccuWeather
Accuweather's bread and butter are news papers, news channels, and websites that
utilizes its graphics and tools... They have some good information, but you have
to wait for it sometimes.
