Snowed In?

Posted Mar 2, 2009 | by Rich Menga  

Happy Monday, everyone.

If you live on the eastern part of the United States, you most likely woke up to a crapload of nature’s white goodness this morning and make have been forced to stay home from school or work.

Your only thought is probably, "Oh, great. (sarcasm..) When will this be over?"

Here’s a few links to help you out.

If you haven’t heard, Weather Underground now has a new faster, slimmer alternative version of their popular web site at www.wund.com. Admittedly I like it a lot. True, it doesn’t have all the features the regular site does but it loads way faster. Go there, punch in your ZIP code and get the latest weather reports.

The National Weather Service (www.weather.gov) also has a portion of their site that specifically shows winter and freeze warnings at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/. When you go there, pick your state from the drop-down menu above the map.

Intellicast also has a watch and warning center you can check out as well.

So go ahead and put the kettle on and check your weather reports, it’s going to be a long day. :-)

Which Of These Traits Applies To YOUR Computing Life?...

    We received 4 inches of snow here in Hendersonville, NC. I walked outside and looked at the road – on the top was fluffy snow but underneath was solid ice. Needless to say, I am working from home today.

    How much did you get in your area?

    Over here in Michigan couldn’t be nicer right now :)

  3. …And just in case you should happen to live in the UK rather than the USA, as some people actually do, there’s always the BBC weather forecast, available online and recently revamped.

    This is Carol-Ann in Maine and we’ve gotten 8″-10″ here in the mid-coast area today. Less than a week ago we go 12″ with a three-day power outage as a bonus.

    Just a few more weeks of winter then spring. Looking forward to that. Until then may as well get out and play in the snow if you’ve got some. :-)
