Ice Cube at The South Pole (in HD too!)
I promised in an earlier post that I would post some more video of my tour of Ice Cube the neutrino telescope being constructed at the South Pole. So here it is, thanks to my Mac and iMovie.

Those of us in the IABM take that responsibility very seriously. We strive to give accurate information on not only weather but on science in general. Paul Gross of the …

The Earth Really Can Ring Like A Bell
I mentioned on air Saturday night that the quake in Chile may not have been felt in North America, but the ground definitely moved. The Earth Rang like a bell I said. A friend of mine who trades emails with me frequently heard that, and sent me this story. Huntsville is a very high tech city as you will learn from reading this story: ******************************** Dan, Heard your comments about …
