MY PICTURES
WEATHER - RELATED
These are a little hard to see, but on my flight back from Pittsburgh to St. Louis, they had to hose the planes down after a recent snow storm to help de-ice them.  They used a high-pressure hose on a movable crane.  The water pressure was so great that it shook the plane!
A convective snow storm dumped snow at an incredible rate on Sunday, March 11, 2001.  I took a few pictures, but they didn't capture the severity of it, so I used the flash and got these interesting pictures.  The snowflakes were a good 1-2" in diameter!
On my recent vacation home to Pennsylvania, we had a nor'easter that dumped 12-14 inches of snow in 24 hours.  We thought WE had to bad, places to our NW got nearly 3' of snow.  These are pictures of my dad plowing about 10" of the snow.
A few pictures of approaching thunderstorms from the Summer of 2000.  The one of the left had some rotation to it, which you can kind of see in the cloud shape.  The one on the right looked ominous, but left nothing more than a few sprinkles.
I remember this one!  This the leading edge of what would be an INCREDIBLE T-storm.  We had 65 MPH winds and a LOT of lightning.  Much of our area was also under a Torando Warning as this system scooted by.
This was taken back in PA.  I took this for my one college class and did a paper on Fallstreaks.  Their shape is actually caused by wind speed differences from different altitudes.
A picture of my fiancee and I.  Yes, I have a stupid look on my face, but it's a nice picture of her.  That's why I decided to post this one.
My cat, Harvey, would make a great alarm clock.  HE decides when I get up, and usually, it's too early.  This is a picture of him as a kit.
A close-up on my cat.  They say that black cats bring bad luck, but so far THEY have been wrong.

This picture was taken by my fiancee in State College, PA. 
If you look closely, you can see the optical illusion known as a 'sun dog.'
No, this isn't caused by the camera lens, it is actually caused by light being refracted by ice crystals in high clouds.
This is usually most common on winter days with a thin stratus deck present. 
The sundogs do appear rather faintly, but at times, it appears that there are three suns in the sky.
