American Meterological Society author, Paul Kocin, will appear for the 3rd consecutive year. Attendance is expected to be in the hundreds. Sign up early.
New Multifaceted Weather Site
There is a new weather related website with a lot of promise.
StormVista.comoffers a free weather forum/message board, a free daily blog by a meteorologist, and an enhanced local forecast experience. But it is its paid subscription option that is the main focus of the site. Among other things that are due to be rolled out piecemeal throughout 2007, paid subscribers will have access to an evolving weather wiki, propietary model graphics from
MDA EarthSat, and a variety of media from professional meteorologists. Co-founder Tom Thunstrom says that StormVista's ultimate goal is to "help people learn WHY it is doing what it is outside and to provide them a chance to share their knowledge of weather with the rest of the world." Check it out over the coming months.
