The earliest recorded weather vane honored the Greek god Triton, and adorned the Tower of the Winds in Athens which was built by the astronomer Andronicus in 48 B.C. The figure, which is believed to have been 4 to 8 feet long, had the head and torso of a man and the tail of a fish. To the ancients, the winds had divine powers. In Greece and pre-Christian Rome, weather vanes depicting the gods Boreas, Aeolus, Hermes and Mercury decorated the villas of wealthy landowners.

Brief Met History Votes:0 METEOROLOGY - A BRIEF HISTORY: Meteorology - The study of the atmosphere and its phenomena. As with most physical sciences, it is nearly impossible to determine an exact "beginning" for the science of meteorology. A distinction must be made between meteorology as a science and meteorology as a "branch of knowledge". As farmers and hunters, early man was strongly dependent upon atmospheric conditions for his existence. Although he could not adequately explain many atmospheric phenomena (a problem we still have today), a collection of weather "signs" was accumulated and handed down from generation to generation, many taking the form of what we call "folk proverbs". The term "meteorology" seems to have originated in 340 BC when the Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote a book on natural philosoph Read More Go to Site First Thanksgiving Weather & History from STORMFAX?

At the time the Mayflower was passing the southeastern tip of Cape Cod, the wind and waves prompted the crew to make landfall out of danger rather than proceed to their planned destination at New York Harbor. T he small 180-ton ship passed the central headland of Cape Cod near Nauset soon after daybreak on November 19, 1620, but found itself in the dangerous shoals east of Monomoy Point. The Pilgrims turned back northward, taking advantage of the south wind and eventually found safety rounding the northern tip of the Cape into the protected waters of the bay.

Early philosophical writings of the 3000 B.C. era, such as the Upanishadas, contain serious discussion about the processes of cloud formation and rain and the seasonal cycles caused by the movement of earth round the sun. Varahamihira's classical work, the Brihatsamhita, written around 500 A.D., provides a clear evidence that a deep knowledge of atmospheric processes existed even in those times. It was understood that rains come from the sun ( Adityat Jayate Vrishti ) and that good rainfall in the rainy season was the key to bountiful agriculture and food Read More Go to Site Hurricane Andrew:august 16 - august 27, 1992 Votes:0 .

At the turn of the century, Isaac Cline was the chief weatherman for Texas -- he was also the one man who could have saved Galveston.

If the cold air mass moves into a warm mass , it slips under the warm moist air, pushing the warmer air to a colder altitude where it condenses to snow and falls to the earth. A more common winter storm condition in New England finds the warm air moving into an established cold air mass. The warm, wet air rises over the cold air and freezes as it falls through the cold layer. These warm front storms tend to last longer than cold front storms.
