I wish they had the rest of North America. I love to see where that big trough going into Canada goes.

I hate it when they force you to use a specific browser.

I only hate it when it will only work on Internet Exploder.

However, yeah, this is neat. I suppose there will be east winds whistling through the canyons tonight as the colder air drops south along the Rockies.

My employer forces use of IE, but with the new version I have no complaints versus Chrome.

from my cold, dead computer.

I can't imagine trying to use IE now. I'm not even all that fond of Chrome, the bookmarks aren't as user friendly.

writes more and more legislation, it is only a matter of time before someone writes a law saying you can only lease solar panels and turbines. Once they get something like this passed, they can build their monopoly.

Everything seems to converge and head through North Dakota on the Great Plains...from the Rockies and from the Appalachians as well...except, of course for the whirligig that Isaac is spinning.
That may well be the best map I've ever seen...Thanks!
I was born in North Dakota, my parents both grew up in the state, and I can remember my mother saying that she couldn't remember a moment when the wind wasn't blowing...audibly.
Now I can see why.
