Notes From The 2008 AMS Weather Conference

12:31 PM Mon, Jun 30, 2008 |


I'm writing this from the Denver Airport on my way home from the annual American Meteorological Society's Broadcasters Conference. The conference is one way that helps me stay on top of all the advances in the science of weather and climate and the state of the industry of broadcasting.

Blame our good friend La Nina. This phenomenon - the cooler-than-average Pacific waters - cause worldwide changes to the atmospheric winds and weather patterns. It's bringing cooler-than-average temperatures into the Northwest...



Starlight Parade

8:48 AM Mon, Jun 02, 2008 |

The Rose Festival Starlight Parade is somethiing I look forward to each year. Rain or shine The Starlight Parade is really is a peoples parade. Don't get me wrong I like the floats and pagentry of the Grand Floral, but there is something that just screams Portland, when it comes to The Starlight Parade. The Royal Rosarians - ambassadors for the city it's our chance to walk in the parade, shake hands with residents and say thank you.
