I started making this one day when i checked the weather and saw a stunning mid-latitude cyclone over much of the US. I wrote a little script to grab the current viable water vapor image off the net, and stitch them together in a video.

New to Blogs?
People are interesting, and have interesting things to say and share. That's why I blog, and why I read others blogs. If you're new to it, don't be overwhelmed. Find some blogs that fascinate you, and use a rss reader to "subscribe" to those blogs with the orange button in the address bar of your browser. I personally use google reader!
