Cromulently on Groundhog Day, I'm in Atlanta along with other weather experts at the American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting.
Dig it: My weather model says that when the fluffy white clouds get dingy gray, like dishwater, the chance of rain increases. During the winter, this rain might turn to snow. 30% chance. Update: I saw my shadow this morning and am predicting 6 more weeks of winter, 8+ more weeks in Boone, NC.
Actually, I'm presenting a paper on hurricane evacuation cost insurance, of all things, during the weather and economics session, in about an hour. If you follow the link you can actually see the presentation without paying the $230 one day registration fee. Enjoy!
*Note: In case you don't get the joke, in one of my fav Seinfeld episodes, #78: The Marine Biologist, George Costanza issues one of my fav lines:
Why couldn't you have made me an architect? You know I always wanted to pretend that I was an architect. Well I'm supposed to see her tomorrow, I'm gonna tell her what's goin on. Maybe she likes me for me.
It turns out that, predictably, George doesn't immediately tell her that he's not really a marine biologist. While he saves the life of a beached whale by pulling a golf ball out of the blowhole (courtesy of Kramer's ocean front driving range), the occupational truth leads to George taking the bus home ... alone.
