Science Tuesday - Smelling the Roses

#2623 "Red Cedar Shelter 12x10 panel
This is the weather equivalent of stopping to smell the roses.  I posted a painting of this red cedar in #2623 "Red Cedar Shelter" just yesterday and lee cyclogenesis has provided a beautiful April snowfall. This event summarizes the science of the past four months and we only need to enjoy. We do not need to investigate the terminal velocity of snowflakes today. 


We started in January with "Know the Wind". If you know the wind, you will learn the weather. Each week we added to the science culminating with Rossby waves and "The Weather Race of Alberta Clippers and Prairie Schooners" last Tuesday. 

Today we relax and enjoy the snow and the science that we have embraced. Science, art and the meaning of life are all entwined together... 

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,

Phil the Forecaster Chadwick
