More About This Book

Overview

Red sky at night, sailors delight.

Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.

 

From your favorite local meteorologist, this entertaining and comprehensive guide presents a full review of the science and lore behind our legendary Minnesota weather. Included are more than a hundred weather proverbs and pearls of wisdom—along with the science behind the sayings. Learn why the sky turns green before a severe storm, why dandelions close up before a summer shower, why a red sunset betokens fine weather, why your bad knee aches before a blizzard, and much more!

 

Longtime WCCO broadcaster Mike Lynch brings you the weather in three amusing, yet informative sections. He opens with a history of meteorology that reaches back to the ancient Greeks, continues with a crash course in the science of the atmosphere and weather systems, and concludes with how to prognosticate from good old Mother Nature. With the wit and wisdom of Dr. Lynch, never has learning been so fun!

 

From Doppler to dandelions, Lynch equips you with the diverse tools needed to understand the ever-changing skies of the North Star State. Illustrated in full color with more than 150 photos, diagrams, charts, and drawings, this is the perfect book for every weather-obsessed Minnesotan!
