Cold and snowy start to 2008?

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.

The models show a strong signal for an Arctic air mass to plunge southward across the eastern US to start out the new year. The GFS shows the potential for upslope snow in the Appalachians from Monday night all the way to Thursday and beyond. Keeping in mind the GFS's tendency to exaggerate low temps, it is still interesting to see upper 20s and even some sleet/snow reaching south Florida by mid-week!
