the misadventures of weather boy: January 2008

And I can give you that baroclinic low for a great monthly payment!

Couldn't pass this one up:

I’m sorry, I’ve just been lied to by smooth-talking meteorologists that promised snow so many times…

Twelve Kingdoms - Sea of Wind!

The link on the righthand bar for Junni Kokki novel 2 is now active on the Tokyopop site. The cover is similar to volume 1, but has Taiki (I think?) on the cover instead of Yoko. The street date is March 11, and it was solicited in the December Diamond Previews (see DEC07 3895) for a February ship date.

With just about two months to go to street date, and given this new sign (the paperback version of the first novel has a street date in February too), it's almost certainly a done deal. And while Tokyopop has done this before (compare this page to an earlier post), this is just about a done deal.

New Email Address

I've shifted back to my previous email address from my NCSU account. Since I graduated in the summer, my post-graduation access will end in a day or two. However, I have forwarding on the old account for about five months, so if you want to know what my "new" address is, drop me an email to my NCSU account, and I'll let you know.

My instant messaging screenname is still the same, and this blog should still be around (sorry, I've made it through 4+ years without Facebook, and I sure ain't going to start now).

Noncharacteristically, I haven't done much investigation for the upcoming winter weather "event" tomorrow morning. The word on the street is that moisture levels are going to be very low, and given the warm ground temps of late, there's going to be minimal risk of sticking. Still, I would advise caution during the event; rapid or relatively heavy amounts could cause some minor accumulation on troublesome surfaces in the typical locations (typically north of the Triangle).
