Happy New Year! The year 2015 has started out in the United States with a lot of cold weather. “Winter Storm Gorgon” has swept across the country from the western Cascade mountain range to the New Jersey shore. (And we are not alone: there is also “Huda”, a winter snow and sand storm in the Middle East, affecting countries such as Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon.)
There are many online videos about Storm Gorgon, with weather maps and commentaries. Have you been affected by the weather? Have you used weather in instructional settings? Meanwhile, stay safe!
