Fog Bank for Jan. 23, 2012


Hello everyone, this is Dave Phillips, skydaver on Twitter.  You can follow me on Twitter, @skydaver, or circle me on Google+, http://gplus.to/skydaver

My first pick is a post from the Capital Weather Gang with a list of the top five surprise winter storms in DC.
Number 1, the President's day storm of 1979.  I was an officer in the US Navy, going to Diving school at the Washington Navy Yard, when that storm hit.

Pick number 2 comes from Brad Panovich who sent out a tweet with a link to spaceweather.com.  They have some great pictures of nacreous clouds, taken in Sweden
