Weather RSS FeedsThe Weather Page - Eddie Applefeld of Pikesville asks whether sunrises and sunsets for the same date vary from one year to the next. Very little. The biggest differences occur during leap years, when Feb. 29 shifts the calendar but not the sun. Sun times vary more with location. Travel east within your time zone, and the sun rises and sets earlier. Go north in winter and you lose daylight on both ends. Our times (below) are for BWI Airport , where this morning's sunrise came a minute earlier than Pikesville's. ...Feed Source: feeds.baltimoresun.com The Weather Page - We're almost halfway through January now, and halfway through the three-month meteorological winter. So far we've recorded just a trace of snow at BWI-Marshall, but there's still time for January or February to let loose. A December and January with no measurable snow is rare. The last time was 1972-1973, when the airport had only a trace of flakes through January. That season ended with only 1.2 inches. The least-snowy winter in the record books was in 1949-1950, when just seven-tenths of an inch fell.

... Scant snow being rationed in Michigan - A winter carnival, other tourism threatened by warming weather
In the land of big snow, where college students jump harmlessly out of third-story dormitory windows into snow banks, the longest season of the year sure isn't what it used to be.
... The Weather Page - Allan Posner, in Owings Mills, noticed that our coldest average high temperatures occur around Jan. 17, and not at the winter solstice in December when days are shortest. "Why is the temperature trough centered on that date?" he asked. He guessed, correctly, that the oceans play a role. It takes time for heat stored in the air, land and water to dissipate as solar input diminishes. There is also a lag in reheating as days lengthen. So the hottest averages center on July 20 - a month after the summer solstice.
... The Weather Page - Santa dropped down Dennis Mangold's chimney in Ten Hills on Christmas and left him a NOAA Weather Radio. He listens and wonders, "Are the broadcasts done in computer-generated voices, or is it an actual person?" That's text-to-speech software you hear. The previous cyber-voice, "Paul," had a vaguely Scandinavian accent. Jackie Hale of the Sterling, Va. forecast office said, "We took polls, and people said, 'Get Sven off the radio!'" Hear Paul and his successors at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/newvoice.htm.
