Making Snowfall Forecasts More Accuarate

Dan\'s Wild Wild Science Journal [2015-01-28 00:23:08]   recommend this post  (847 visits)

We are at the cusp of some amazing technology that will hopefully make forecasting snowstorms, like the one predicted yesterday, much more accurate. I was on a local program produced by the TV station I work for (WBOC-TV) last week, and I showed a [...]

When I go on trips I sometimes try to find fossils or minerals from that area as a memento. My last trip to Arizona I found this plate in a museum gift shop. Unfortunately, it had no identification label so I do not know its name, location where [...]

The Sierra Beyond Yosemite: Where the Sierra Ends (maybe), and Gold

Geotripper [2015-01-26 21:28:00]   recommend this post  (799 visits)

In some places it is pretty clear where the Sierra Nevada ends. For a hundred miles or more there is a solid rock wall that reaches a height of two miles in the Owens Valley. There is no mistaking that the mountains end at the cliffs above Lone [...]
