Hurricane Earl And The Narrower Cone
The cone starts narrow and widens over time. The idea is the farther out a forecast goes the more fudge factor is necessary. With Hurricane Earl as close as it is we are now on the outside of the narrow end of the cone.)
Hurricane Earl Is Coming Into Focus
It's possible the storm will pass in such a way half the state doesn't even realize it was there! That would make me happy.)
Earl Envelopes Me -- Featuring Ann Nyberg And Her Webcam
It can come true but it's unlikely and deserves to be treated that way. It's easy to make outlandish forecasts when you've got no skin in the game.)
Staying Busy With Earl
It was a refresher course in using the hurricane capabilities. Things you don’t use often fade from memory.)

I'm Waiting For The Models... No... Not That Way!
It's not that the forecasting isn't good--it needs to be great. Mistakes have a huge downside)
Is There Bias In Forecasting Hurricane Earl?
In nearly every case Earl tracked west of the forecast! If this remains the case Earl snuggles a little closer to Connecticut than has been said. Not good!)
Respect For Hurricane Earl
I am surprised by the Hurricane Center's forecast. The 'out days' center of the track is well offshore, though the Maryland shore to the Canadian Maritimes are all within the cone of uncertainty.)

Earl Makes A Scary Move
It's early in the process, but Earl has tracked west of guidance. That means it's closer to the U.S. mainland.)
Saturday Night Radio
"One of the five worst songs ever," Helaine said as Melanie came on singing "Brand New Key." I made her listen to the whole song anyway.)
Why Earl's On My Mind
Forget the hurricane. It's no threat. Keep your eye on the Tropical Storm--Tropical Storm Earl.)
Is The Future of Video Portable?
I am talking about watching live video on the iPhone, but any comparable device will work. The device must be fully portable.)
Stuff About Katrina You Might Not Know
On the afternoon of Katrina's Gulf landfall I remember an AccuWeather meteorologist appearing on Fox News to say New Orleans had dodged the bullet--and it had! The New Orleans flooding didn't come until late Monday evening long after Katrina's strongest winds were gone.)
Two Photos From Dinner
The sculpture sits behind the Giaimo Federal Office Building in a courtyard between Orange and Church Streets. The church itself is on College Street on the far side of the green.)
)
My Sixth Sense And Earl
I can’t tell you why, but I have that same life threatening fear from Earl. Sixth sense? Maybe.)
My Baby Fine Hair... Or Not
Anyone whose ever touched it has been surprised by the relative thinness of the individual strands. It was a matter of pride... and how I got girls to touch my hair.)
Who Says Politicians Are Crooks And Scoundrels? They Do!
There's an old expression that says you can't have a peeing section in a pool. That goes for politics too.)
