Sorry for not posting for a while… I had a seizure several nights back and screwed up my sleeping schedule, so I’ve just been really unorganized for the last few days. I’m totally fine now.

I don’t know how many of you read the Captain Underpants books, but I grew up with them. They were based on the premise of Mr. Krupp, an extraordinarily […]
Monday, August 12, 2013 3:33 P.M. Hello! I know many of you are waiting for a blog about our thunderstorms and all that wonderful stuff over the weekend. I’ve send out requests to certain photographers to use their pictures on my blog, and I’ve also sent out emails to some of the top meteorological minds […]
Saturday, August 10, 2013 3:49 P.M. Good afternoon everybody! Hopefully most of you experienced that absolutely incredible lightning show last night. Thankfully, if you missed it, we’ve got another one stepping up to the plate. First off, let’s look at the radar. Thunderstorms are currently firing up across the area, with some particularly strong ones […]

Even in places with high and low temperatures similar to us (usually places that are close to the Canadian border, such as International Falls, Minnesota and Portland, Maine) generally have higher relative humidities.
