Okay, so it was actually the first day of astronomical winter...but this graphic showing storm reports from yesterday is still impressive for this time of year. The overall atmospheric pattern hasn't opened up the polar express to the southeastern U.S. yet so the warmth and moisture of the Gulf of Mexico is still providing convective fuel. Hope damage and injuries from yesterday's storms were minimal.

Not bad for the first day of winter!

New Virginia storm chase book in the pipeline
One of this winter's projects is to merge all my existing accounts of Virginia storm chasing (Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Vol. 3) with a writeup covering the past two seasons to create one volume that spans Virginia storm chasing for the ten year period 2002-2011. I've been working on a writeup of the 2010 and 2011 seasons the past couple of weeks, and once that's complete I'll begin the process of merging the existing versions with this latest one via the Blurb.com Booksmart software.
The cool part is that the newest version of the publishing software will allow creation of an ebook for iPhones/iPads. I'm looking forward to seeing how well that works!
