greg ralls Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 He's a good writer and a good guy - I think I will ask my wife and/or in-laws for a copy since they've been bugging me for Christmas present ideas and I keep saying I don't need anything.

greg ralls Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Did any of you get this? I kind of forgot about it, but just ordered it and can't wait to read it. Was just about to work through the KU book again, but figure I'll read this first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSchwake28 Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Just recently started reading it. Only a couple of chapters in, but it is definitely very general so far - history of the interest in snow, snow flake crystals, it's impact on society throughout history, etc. Though he has alluded to some local stuff a few times. Enjoying it so far but not exactly what I was anticipating. Curious if it goes into more detail about local snows further in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I put it on hold when I returned to work, I'll pick it back up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Read this thread as: SNOW GOES ON SALE TOMORROW. If so, I'll take a February 2010 repeat? How much will it cost me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike many meteorology textbooks, you don't need to have a huge knowledge of physics & calculus to appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlurker Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 The first five chapters cover the history of snow research, big storms, snow removal, and weather research from colonial times up to the beginning of numerical weather prediction. His narrative style of describing events and giving anecdotes is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
