Fogbank, October 4, 2011

Hello WeatherBrains Listeners, this is the Fogbank, listener supplied
picks of the week, keeping Weatherbrains foghorn free for JB.

I'm Dave Phillips, from Winston Salem, NC.

I'm on Twitter at skydaver, and on Google+, http://gplus.to/skydaver

Chuck Prevatte, Chuck006 on twitter, was busy this week. He sent me the first three of this weeks picks

First, it's not to early to get ready for winter. Here's a link on how to do snow making at home

From Irish Weather News  a story about a tornado in South Africa last week

Third, the Cooperative Institute for Precipitation Systems has their Cold-Season Analog Guidance

Next up, Hurricane Opehelia became the season's third major hurricane, and Earth Observatory has a nice picture

Finally, along with two tropical systems, we have snow in the mountains of North Carolina.

But wait, there's more.  A bonus pick, not weather related, for the NC soda, Cheerwine.  I'm hopeful that an NWA attendee will be bringing some to Alabama for JB to try out.

Thanks for listening
Skydaver, out!
