We try but it's rare to get them this far south and sometimes they sneak up on us. The Seattle/Western Washington area was a lost cause due to clouds so it didn't warrant much attention, but good point and I"ll see if we can make it better known when the solar storms are coming :)

Heh, I see there is a lot of confusion over the 50/50 thing in the headline but commenter "Ryanthecubsfan" has it correct. It's weighing more toward El Nino now. I went back and tweaked said headline and added back in a line into the blog to clarify. It's a bit more complex than just stating "we don't know so it's 50-50" :)

We have another person around here who similarly tracks the weather based on the moon "holding its water" -- we put a blurb about it when Steve Pool and I wrote our weather book 7 years ago -- interesting theory! :)

Until the last few years, the weather computers did not run on Windows, so I have no idea why the NT disks were there. the drawer was a mish mosh and I don't know why some stuff was even there -- probably because it was outdated at the time and got tossed in there. We ran on SGI's for a long time :) As for upgrades, I was in a unique position in that I had also worked for the weather software company for a few years in the late 90s and had a lot of experience on the SGI platform, so I was best suited to run the upgrades. We've since moved on to Windows and PC platforms and now IT does the upgrades :)

Heh, chalk it up to us being a bit disorganized although I was the gatekeeper of the weather software discs for a while since I was in charge of the upgrades. :)
