Mountain weather tutorial

[DougPaul]

A copy of "Practical Mountain Weather, A Guide for Hikers, Climbers, and Skiers", by Dr. John Papineau has been made available at http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/classroom_practical_mountain.php.

Looks like the book is being doled out at a chapter a week. If you want to look ahead, look in http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/classroom/mountain_weather/.

Oh no...

another way to not work and to have my wife wonder what on earth I'm looking at on the Web. Looks like a fun read which, though not 100% applicable to NE hiking, talks about some principles that are right on target for reading mountain weather especially in the winter. Also well written, which is unusual for technical weather stuff.
