We have another person around here who similarly tracks the weather based on the moon "holding its water" -- we put a blurb about it when Steve Pool and I wrote our weather book 7 years ago -- interesting theory! :)

Until the last few years, the weather computers did not run on Windows, so I have no idea why the NT disks were there. the drawer was a mish mosh and I don't know why some stuff was even there -- probably because it was outdated at the time and got tossed in there. We ran on SGI's for a long time :) As for upgrades, I was in a unique position in that I had also worked for the weather software company for a few years in the late 90s and had a lot of experience on the SGI platform, so I was best suited to run the upgrades. We've since moved on to Windows and PC platforms and now IT does the upgrades :)

Heh, chalk it up to us being a bit disorganized although I was the gatekeeper of the weather software discs for a while since I was in charge of the upgrades. :)

Haven't ventured to try :)

Got the photo (http://yfrog.com/obonaomj) -- was there rotation with that one too? There was a whole lot of "scud" out there that looks like funnel clouds :)

The UW does not generate a 10 day forecast. The farthest they go out is 7 days, and yes, I'm a UW model fan.

Point taken -- switched it to, what else, coffee! :)

Hi all -- a mea culpa on our part. It was Jones' mother, not Williams' mother who lived there. Story has been clarified.

Yes -- prevailing theme here :) I know it snows somewhere and everyone thinks it'll snow everywhere but not the case here :) But tough for us to still get the warning out for the places where we DO think it will snow while NOT freaking out the rest of the area :)

Sunday evening -- hold out hope, it looks like there's a chance of clearing skies
