Whether you chase tornadoes or simply wonder how it can snow in 40-degree weather, you'll discover something surprising in Weather Whys.
Paul Yeager, a meteorologist and editor, takes a lively journey through the curious world of weather-from myths and misconceptions to weird phenomena to how weather has affected history and sports.
The myths, history, wives-tales, oddities, and wonders of a subject that comes up every day: the weather.
* How a fire can cause a thunderstorm
* Which city is actually the windiest (Hint: It's not Chicago)
* How the temperature affects tire pressure
* Why humidity makes hair go limp or frizzy
* Whether cows really lie down before it rains
* Why there are more home runs when it's humid
Not a day (in at least the last 40 years) has gone by without Paul Yeager focusing on the weather. While that might indicate the need for a hobby, it's given him plently of time to study-and marvel at-the weather, including spending more than 20 years as a coast-to-coast weather forecaster. He is the author of Literally, the Best Language Book Ever and the blog CloudyAndCool.com
