My topics today include a new way of disseminating severe thunderstorm warnings from the National Weather Service as well as a great resource link for anyone interested in the new volcano eruption in Iceland called The Reykjavik Grapevine, and English news agency designed to share news from Iceland.

Imagine having the chance to "interview" someone actually in space? That is what happened to my colleague, Jacob Wycoff (someone who has been a special guest on WeatherJazz back in August of 2020!).

Let's address a great question about this morning's dense fog in parts of NEOhio that a listener left on my WeatherJazz® Podcast Audience Connect Line at (234)-525-5888. Then we will tackle something newly named "STEVE." No, it's not the aurora borealis, but it is something that the sun's high speed energy particles create.

Let's take a close look at NEOhio's seasonal snowfall to date as well as discover what ski areas in the region still have their slopes open. The winds aloft pattern is showing signs of a split flow. What does that mean for the next few weeks? And I'll describe (and show via the web site WeatherJazz.com) a stunning satellite image of a massive dust storm in China, and a breathtaking sunrise as captured near Seattle this morning.

It's Open Line Friday! I tackle some great listener questions via the WeatherJazz® Podcast Audience Connect Line as well as via email at [email protected]. Happy Friday, all!

For now anyway, it's an annual right of passage from the cold, wintry months to the springtime transition. Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend. When and where did DST get it's start? What should we do with it now that we are no longer an agrarian society?

Ahhhh, yes! Finally! It is going to feel much more like spring this week in the Ohio Valley! Does this mean the end of winter? If you've lived in Ohio long enough, you know what the answer is. So how long will this spring preview last for? Let's explore that and more on today's episode of WeatherJazz®!

I'll introduce you to something called the "Little Free Library" in this episode, but it's only an introduction. I'll follow up in the near future when I can get a little more participation from those who either installed one or is a user/contributor. I'll share my brother's recipe for homemade creme fraiche and update you on Iceland's imminent eruption of a volcano in the southwest corner of the island nation.

The official astronomical definition of a "planet" changed in 2006. When it did, the planet we all knew as Pluto lost its classification! So what is the definition of a planet? It hinges on three criteria, the last of which caught Pluto on the short end of the stick. Let's expand on this topic as well as an interesting target in our post-sunset March sky, and some stunning photos from the surface of Jupiter!

Be encouraged! While March can be a fickle month, it will invariably bring increasing hints of warmer days. Let's review February and see if we can detect any patterns setting up for the merry month of March.
