Are They Kidding?! Heavy Snow?

December 28th, 2009 | Matthew J. Weaver

Forget National Weather Service the media exag­ger­at­ing the weather, now the National Weather Ser­vice is out fore­cast­ing “Heavy Snow” when accu­mu­la­tion is “less than one inch” and “1 to 2 inches”. Incredible.

I won­der if the gov­ern­ment mind­set that equates 1 – 2 inches of snow as “Heavy Snow” is the same as that which sees global warm­ing in every frac­tion of weather change?

Malone Weather

December 17th, 2009 | Matthew J. Weaver

I am still recon­fig­ur­ing my weather sta­tion and the upload of data to Mal​one​To​day​.com. You can access infor­ma­tion col­lected by my weather sta­tion at:

Update:

I switched to Ambi­ent Weather’s Vir­tual Weather Sta­tion soft­ware after being unable to resolve con­tin­ued chal­lenges with incor­rect baro­met­ric pres­sure, humid­ity, and dew point read­ings, espe­cially at low tem­per­a­tures. The change was long over­due. It appears that all of my weather sta­tion read­ings are now being han­dled cor­rectly and within APRS data QA norms.

Owens in office illegally and maybe even with losing vote count?

November 13th, 2009 | Matthew J. Weaver

The Bill OwensDemoc­rats in their des­per­a­tion for votes on their health care plan may have set them­selves up for a rather big embar­rass­ment regard­ing the spe­cial elec­tion for New York’s 23rd Con­gres­sional Dis­trict. Bill Owens is not the cer­ti­fied win­ner, he con­tested the results Novem­ber 2, and yet was sworn in by des­per­ate Democ­rats in Wash­ing­ton. Now, not only may he be in office ille­gally, he might even lose the vote count once all of the votes are counted and errors in orig­i­nal counts are cor­rected. It will serve the Democ­rats right if the results favor Doug Hoff­man and Owens has to vacate his seat.

    According to this article, Obama continues to run at least two secret prisons--one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan--with reports of abuse and prisoners held without rights normally afforded prisons of war.  Surprising to hear that this continued after Bush left office.  This is a terrible stain on America's reputation and puts Americans at risk of similar mistreatment if captured.
