Skywarn Winter Storm Class, University of Maryland, Nov. 7, 2009, 11am - 2:30pm
Craig Carignan
On behalf of the MetoGrads and the School of Engineering, I would like
to invite you to attend a "Winter Storm" advanced Skywarn class on
Saturday, November 7, 11am–2:30pm in 1202 Martin Hall. This is a 2 1/2
hour class that focuses on Mid-Atlantic snow storms and nor'easters,
and it looks at the frequency and history of the storms, how they form
and the difficulties in forecasting them, how to be prepared, how to
measure snow and ice, and how Skywarn operates during a winter event.
We had 82 people attend the first Winter Storm class in Nov’07, and
we’re hoping for a record turnout this year. As usual, classes are
free and we will once again be offering free pizza and soda for lunch
courtesy of the Graduate Student Government. If you would like to
register or just find out more, please to go to http://www.atmos.umd.edu/~gcm/
and follow the SKYWARN registration links. We hope to see you on
November 7th!
Best Regards,
Craig
