Can you explain why sometimes there is 2 directions listed on a wind path?

Asked by Allison about 6 years ago

Hi, Allison. Not sure exactly what you mean. I know if the wind will change direction during the day I will put something like S-N 10-20 on my graphics, for example, if a cold front is coming through during the day. Hope that helps.

What is the worst weather even you have ever covered?

Asked by Boeing 747 about 5 years ago

Probably the Fort Worth, TX of 1999. It was in a downtown area and we knew it was doing damage. And there were radar and technical issues that day which made coverage harder. Probably the biggest but most fun was the blizzard of 1993 in Birmingham, AL. Thirteen inches of snow in a town that didn’t own a plow. Thanks for asking!

Is your job hard, easy, or center of the road?

Asked by Dale about 5 years ago

Guess it depends on the day. Middle of July in Texas is on the easy side. Severe weather days can be pretty stressful. So a mix of both, like most things. Thanks, Dale!

Is the coriolis affect a real thing and do hurricanes always spin In 1 direction in the NH and the opposite direction in the SH?

Asked by David about 5 years ago

Yup. Real thing, David. I suppose you could make the argument that coriolis force is based on perception. I’ll let you decide. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

Thanks for anwsring me question. One more for you what angers people more do you think when it snows more then expected or less? I can only guess when snow is called for snow and its ice what kind of letters you must get from that.

Asked by Earl about 5 years ago

Hard to say, Earl. Ten different people, 10 different opinions. I think the measure of frustration is probably driven by the amount of effort people put into preparation. If they put in little effort and it snows more, then that is frustrating. If they put in a lot of effort and it snows less then, wasted effort. I always remind folks that I'm in marketing and Mother Nature is in manufacturing, that usually helps me out! Thanks!
