Perception has a lot to do with how someone f= eels. If you are told it is 30 below zero and it really is only 10 below, = you will still act as if it is 30 below. For more than 50 years the = NWS and forecasters have been telling you the wind chill and you have been= preparing for the worst. It turns out this formula needed some serious u= pgrading when research showed the values in the formula were much too low.= The old wind chill did the public a disservice by convincing people they = could safely endure extreme cold. More often, it scared people into stayin= g indoors when they could safely go out, and it prompted unnecessary schoo= l and business closings. Specifically, the old wind chill was too cold si= nce it was based on wind measurements at 33 feet (the official height for= wind observations), which can be 3 times as strong as the wind at the sur= face. In 1945, Antarctic explorers Siple and Passel developed the first wi= nd chill index by measuring the heat loss from a container of water as it = froze while suspended from the 33-foot pole. When the old formula was dev= eloped, the technology did not exist to verify the accuracy those index va= lues. The new formula, implemented Nov 1, 2001, uses winds measured at 5= feet, which is much more representative of the wind that a human body exp= eriences. The new Wind Chill/Temperature Index also makes use of advances = in meteorology, biometeorology and computer modeling to provide a more acc= urate, useful formula for calculating the dangers from winter winds and f= reezing temperatures. In addition, clinical trials have been conducted and= the results of those trials have been used to verify and improve the accu= racy of the new formula. Check out the new Wind Chill values by watching t= he live weather from your closest WeatherBug weather station as well as c= hecking the windiest and coldest sites on Wild Weather in the Cool Links/R= esources section of your WeatherBug. Mark Hoekzema WeatherBug Meteorolog= ist Idaho Business Uses Live Weather to Increase Its Visibility = In Idaho, weather is serious business. Which is exactly why Dan Heuck purc= hased an AWS WeatherNet System for use by his businesses - Dan's Ferry Ser= vice and Country Store. Located along the Snake River in Walter's Ferry,= ID, Dan's WeatherNet System provides a valuable service to community mem= bers: local farmers and ranchers use the humidity readings to monitor the = best times for crop retrieval, snow enthusiasts check out the live weather= conditions before they leave the Boise city limits and duck hunters acces= s the images from Dan's WeatherNet Camera before venturing outside. Heuc= k notes that his store's visibility has significantly increased since he p= urchased the WeatherNet System for his business. "The response to our Weat= herNet Weather Station has been great - especially since KTVB/Channel 7 in= Boise, Idaho has picked up our name and stats for use in their weatherca= sts." For more information on how your business can benefit from real-tim= e weather information, contact Gary Milwit, Director of Commercial Sales a= t 1-800-544-4429 ext. 1621 or e-mail gmilwit@aws.com =09 School = WeatherNet Bolsters Geology Program Real-time weather information gener= ated from the AWS WeatherNet System is creatively used in thousands of K-1= 2 classrooms nationwide. Patrick Hayhurst, a geology teacher at Lancaster = HS in Lancaster, CA, has integrated live, real-time weather Advertise= ment [IMAGE] information from the School WeatherNet Program, w= hich makes up the WeatherBug Network, into his high school geology course= s. Mr. Hayhurst also uses AWS lesson plans to fit his curriculum needs in = the classroom. "Each day when we turn on the computer projector, we pull u= p the WeatherBug to check out the weather for that day. Often times we wil= l look at the Long Beach WeatherNet Camera to see what it is like down by= the beach. Then we will take a look at the WeatherBug weather trivia ques= tion for the day." Mr. Hayhurst's students use resources available on http= ://aws.com and the Web to answer the trivia questions.

It's a shortcut that will get you home fast! = Louisiana TV Stations Provide Technology Training for Schools = Earlier this month, WWL-TV (Channel 4) in New Orleans and WBRZ-TV (Channe= l 2) in Baton Rouge sponsored WeatherNet Teacher Workshops for their local= schools. The workshops provided schools with an opportunity to meet their= favorite on-air weathercasters, network with other teachers and learn ho= w to use the WeatherNet Classroom technology (which WeatherBug is built on= ) as a springboard for teaching their students math, science, geography, c= omputer skills, social studies - even language arts! The workshops were = declared a huge success by the schools and the TV stations alike. Rick Res= o, Marketing Services Director for WWL-TV summed it up nicely: "Local TV s= tations have a commitment to serve their communities and help schools int= egrate technology into their classrooms. If we can help a teacher become m= ore comfortable using computers and the Internet, then everyone benefits."= =09 WeatherBug ThunderCall-- the call before the storm!
