Watch this supercell form in Wyoming. Photographed on May 18, 2014. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/05/19/313968112/whoa-watch-a-spectacular-supercell-take-form-in-wyoming

It is my understanding that (In the N hemisphere) a high pressure area generates wind flow clockwise from the center, and a low, counterclockwise. In fact, the local weatherman show that flow on his maps, every night. Now, this would mean that a High, to the West of us, would generate winds out...

OK, I just got back from Colorado, and so in the last six months I've been there both in wintertime and summertime. In the winter, it seems about ten degrees warmer than it does in Texas at the same temperature because the air is so dry. In summer, it seems about ten degrees cooler than in...

Any lightning fans on here? Thought I'd share a couple: I had to turn down the curves on the 1st one because it was so close the image was all washed out....

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/can-a-hail-cannon-control-the-weather/ From the above article: That’s how the neighbor of a farmer in Vermont once described a “hail cannon.” The curious looking rocket-like cylinder is a “gun,” pointed straight up in the air, that fires 200 mph shockwaves. It’s...

Case for the moon Argh. Somebody sent me this link to prove that the Moon exerts all kind of weird affects on the Earth. I really don't know where to begin to debunk it. Should I even bother to try? Some samples:

I was sitting around the barn with some of the locals, and we were wondering, what would happen if you dropped a nuclear bomb into a hurricane or a tornado? Besides being a possible plot for a really bad SciFi Network movie, would there be any positive effects? Or would you just have an even...

This morning on my way to work I stopped and looked over the Thames and after a few seconds a snowball-sized chunk of ice fell in front of me onto the river bank. There were no clouds in the sky (well, some on the horizon) and it's trajectory was such that I doubt it could've been thrown from...

I thought I was misreading this when I read that lightning is claimed to disturb trade winds the way rocks in a stream create turbulence. I'd never imagined a connection between lightning activity and large scale air movements and really still don't see how that could happen so I wish there was...

What IS with the weather lately? I live in the SW U.S. and we were experiencing colder weather that the NE U.S. This is obviously no longer the case as the storm front has moved into the NW with frightening results leaving normally mild-weather areas like Texas blanketed with snow and ice...

Hi, A friend directed me to this site http://www.weatherwars.info/katrina.htm and asked my opinion on 'weather control'. Not being a meteorologist I couldn't do much more than suggest that most of its claims seemed to lack 'supportive evidence' - can anyone here improve on my mealy-mouthed...

Anybody clued up enough on ice/wind/cold weather phenomena to offer an explanation for this. There are some interesting oddities going on here. Anybody know where it is? http://www.bilder.leantik.de/
