It's so encouraging to hear more birds singing at sunrise. It's even more encouraging to see backyard thermometers approaching 60°F! It's hardly safe to put away the wintry gear, though. Let's discuss WHY, today on WeatherJazz®!

My special OpenLineFriday guest is Hildur Jones from Iceland.

I became acquainted with Hildur during my August 2018 adventure to Iceland when I took my son, Noah, to experience this unique land. We always searched out a church to attend wherever we went on our father-son retreats. That's how we encountered Loftstofan Baptistakirkja and how we became fast friends with Gunnar Ingi Gunnarsson, someone who is no stranger to WeatherJazz®.

As you will discover today, Hildur's talent as a photographer actually began as a therapeutic way to navigate some dark personal days.

I start a new "Science Wednesday" series this week with a tour of our amazing solar system beginning with the planet closest to our sun, Mercury. It's a very strange place with a ton of unique features. Let's explore on today's episode of WeatherJazz®!

This morning, I had the privilege to speak with Bob Barnes. He is zig-zag cycling across the USA to visit every single US state Capital (yes, even Alaska and Hawaii with a little help from a ferry and an aircraft). I caught up to Bob as he crossed the Arkansas border. Why is Bob doing this? Let's ask him, today on WeatherJazz®!

It's not surprising that so many of my former college classmates from Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vermont have some really interesting hobbies. One of them is Jonathan Talbot, retired Air Force Hurricane Hunter. Jonathan now lives along the gulf coast. In his retirement from chasing after hurricane eye-walls, he now casts his gaze outward from Earth when skies are clear. Let's explore how he became interested in astrophotography.

I had a wonderful listener question about something he experienced this weekend from the shore of Lake Erie. Plus, I'll look at some interesting stats on ice cover on Lake Erie in the winter.

It's a cleanup Friday after a massively long stretch of snowy weather brought traffic to a near standstill on Thursday. I'll recap the highlights while also telling you why I will never, ever "name" winter storms on WeatherJazz® or anywhere else!

Plus, how FUN to receive a special shoutout this morning from Music Radio Creative in the UK during their Free Jingle Friday program on YouTube.

It's time to "dig in" to yet another snowstorm and its impact on the Ohio Valley!

No sooner did the nor'easter leave southern New England with over two feet of windblown snow, yet another storm system has the potential to drop some serious snowfall somewhere in the Ohio Valley toward the end of the work week. Let's explore the early indications without putting numbers on this system.

My brother Denié lives in New Bedford, Massachusetts... ground ZERO for what could be a memorable blizzard that begins early Saturday morning. I asked Denié if he would join me for today's episode of WeatherJazz® to share his observations of how southern New Englanders were preparing for the weekend nor'easter. Watch for photos and videos on WeatherJazz®.com as well as on AndreBernier.com this weekend.
