  1. Hey all

    Hope this is the right place to put such a request, but I am a total novice to weather forecast predictions etc. I am learning an awful lot from the forum, but sometimes lack of time does not permit to catch up on things via the site....this is causing me some (!) frustration!....

    ;)

    sooo.... I was wondering if anyone could recommend a book that I could get.. :D .a weather for dummies would be an excellent start if such a book exists..I suspect not.. then I could take it away read at bedtime and next time I am on the site be just that little more clued up......and hopefully have something more interesting to post! :)

    Many thanks in anticipation

    Hi Polar bear.

    Dont bother with the weather for dummies book (yes one exists) as its US based and not very helpful.

    Try an author = Brian Cosgrove, he mainly writes books for flying and is a standard text if your aiming for a Glider/Hang glider/Micro-lite licence.

    he's done quite a few books so just choose the one that suits you, and he has the simple and technical explanations in most of his books.

    or try this site www.ukweathershop.co.uk

    Happy learning

  2. Just to add to the yes it definitely can camp.

    Driving from Halsted to Sudbury to see friends in march 1997 or 98 and a heavy snow shower had been going for about 3/4 hr driving along and the headlights were getting covered with snow, stopped, got out cleaned one head light off, moved to the curb side to clean the other, at that point a bolt of lighting hit the tree in the filed next to me, next i remember was picking my self up out of the snow feeling very stiff and aching, but the one thing i do remember is not hearing the bang? i was told i had been side struck, it turns out that snow is very conductive.
