What Pandemics and Meteorology Have in Common

We aren't very good at predicting either one much further out than a week or two. A BBC story (and film) talks about the problems virologists and public health defenders face as they tackle a virus like H1N1 flu and try to figure out how the disease will impact people around the globe. It's an honest examination of both the strengths of science, and the barriers that exist around human knowledge. Such are the limitations of science, whether...

Atmosphere Academy: The study of meteorology

Video Atmosphere Academy: The study of meteorology Body Let's start with the term meteorologist. Do you know where it came from? After all, a meteorologist does not study meteors; that job is reserved for a meteoriticist. A meteorologist studies weather, and the most common tools used through the ages are the human senses. In the year 340 BC, the philosopher Aristotle published one of the first known works on...

Larches and the Last Leaves: Winter Is Ready to Settle in

A couple of weeks ago Lionel Lévac, the agricultural specialist on Radio Canada in Quebec City, gave a long ramble about how larch trees always turn yellow the week before the first snow. Seems they had already in his bailiwick, and so he was forecasting a storm. The trees' predictive ability was pretty good for Lévac's region, but not for elsewhere since it snowed a few days later all over the province although the larches around Montreal were still as green as any other conifer. It was only last weekend that the larches turned yellow here. That early storm brought numerous power outages in ... Read Full Story

Cheer Up Emo Kite!

We where greeted by some unexpectedly warm weather this weekend. It allowed our tremendously exciting agenda of grocery shopping to be wrapped around a trip to the park. Trinity, our oldest had Monday off for Pulaski Day . Upon hearing about the impending deterioration of weather, we looked for school closures on the news. Fox news is as good as SNL for a weeknight dose of laughter, so when they over-dramatized the sudden shift in weather, the level of Emo gave Josh and I the laugh we where in search of. Get the Flash Player to see this player. Just when we’d thought the ... Read Full Story

Whilst many news outlets reported that the beginning of December in the UK was the coldest since 1976, the reality is slightly more subtle, and depends upon the definition of 'the start of December'. Meteorologist Philip Eden reports that the 1st to the 7th, and the 1st to the 8th were the coldest since 1998; the 1st to the 9th was the coldest since 1980; the first to the 10th was the coldest since 1976; the 1st to the 11th was the coldest since 1981; and the 1st to the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th were merely the coldest since 1991.

March Roars In: Maybe We'll Have a White Easter

Wednesday Quebec City received its 400th centimeter of snow this season, a fitting milestone in its 400th anniversary year. In Montreal we haven't had as much--only about three meters or something like 9.5 feet--but this is turning out to be a record-beating year. I took the picture last Sunday, a beautiful mild day with blue skies and much sunshine. Lee had just finished cleaning up after the last snowfall, and the snow banks are nearly as tall as he is: you can get some idea when you realize that the fence is at least seven feet high. Then it began to snow again, with ... Read Full Story
