The Snow Zone
Here's a page I
started to list out Snow Totals year over year, so that I could
compare them.
Will it be FIRE or ICE???

decide weather we face an ice age or warming

The scale that is used to rank tornadoes has been updated a few
times over the years.

there's more tornadoes... but are there?
Named Storms since 1886
September sure has been busy over the years! 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,

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.
