Weather Lore-Weather By Nature
For eons, man has depended on close observations of nature to forecast the weather. In days when there were no scientific methods of reading weather patterns, man relied on a keen eye for natural signs which indicated change. These observations were passed down through generations, and became a part of culture and education. They are called weather lore; weather by nature!

Gulf of Alaska Storms
Storms move out of the Gulf of Alaska into the Pacific Northwest with great regularity, as many as three or four per week during the height of the winter storm season. Winter Gulf of Alaska storms typically sport winds in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) with corresponding high waves. Some storms rival the strength of the great hurricanes/typhoons and would be considered as such if their origins were tropical rather than polar.

Weather Bombs: Rapid Storm Development
Weather bombs or bomb cyclones undergo explosive changes in intensity,forming an intense winter storm over a short period when they moved off the land and into the warm Gulf Stream waters off Cape Hatteras. These storms may move up the East Coast to form major snowstorms along their path.

A Jet Stream Runs Through It
High above the Earth's surface, rivers of air rush their way around the globe in a high speed current that often spawns side eddies that we on the ground call cyclones. Knowledge of the position of these streams, known as the <i>jet stream</i> because of their speed, is vital to accurate general weather forecasts and severe storm predictions. Knowledge of the location of the jet stream is also important to airlines and other long-distant air transportation.

Air Masses: A Taste of Weather
An air mass is a large dome of air which has similar horizontal temperature and moisture characteristics. At any given time, about fifty distinct air masses are scattered across the Earth. Some are newly born entities and strongly reflect their place of birth. Others are old and travel-scarred with only the slightest hint of their place of origin remaining.

Blizzard!
While the media rush to call any severe or heavy snowstorm a blizzard, true blizzards have a strict definition according to meteorologists, and snow need not even fall in a blizzard. Blizzards take on different characteristics when they rage around North America, combining wind and temperature and snow into a variety of recipes, though they all start as low pressure systems.

Lake Breeze Weather
On late spring and summer days when the temperature soars, a special wind system may form along the coastline of the Great Lakes or other large lakes. It is known as the lake breeze, a similar condition to the sea breeze known along ocean shores.

Nor'easters and Alberta Clippers
The great tropical storms roaming the world's oceans and seas have earned the right for individual names. Extratropical cyclonic storms, those forming from the clash of polar and tropical air masses, have not yet been honoured with individual names. However, some extratropical storms take on such unique characteristics that they are often recognized with a unique name for the genre: the Nor'easter along the Atlantic coast, the Alberta Clipper that races across the continent our of the Alberta plains.

The Derecho
The derecho is a violent, widespread windstorm emanating from long-lived thunderstorm complexes. Derechos produce damaging, straight-line winds of 100 to 160 km/h (60 to 100 mph) that are strong enough to down trees and power lines. They rush across a region along paths tens of kilometres (miles) wide and hundreds of kilometres (miles) long. Derecho damage is continuous and non-random over a large area.
