..This podcast has the following Hebrew (ish) words "shita"(opinion), "shitas" (opinions), Tzeis Hacochavim" (The time in the evening when 3 medium stars are visible when away from all city light), "shkia" (sunset), "chidush" (novelty)(shocking, a real shocker), "Hashem" (The One creater of heaven and earth and...), "Shabbos" (the Sabbath) and "madreiga" (level). There is also a tiny bit of Hebrew in some of the background music. In regards to that, you will understand the podcast BETTER if you don't know the translation. The tiny bit of Hebrew in the background sound effects are a distraction from the podcast with the exception of "Hashem" (as translated above, there is also more of a translation within the song that is being played).
This podcast also mentions Tom Skilling (as do many of my podcasts). He is chief Meteorologist for Wgn station in Chicago Illinois. He started his career at the young age of 14 years old without any degrees 50+ years ago (that's what I read). He is very knowledgeable in many areas including climate and a top expert on weather forecasting. He is also an excellent explainer of weather and has an enormous amount of experience when dealing with Chicago weather (he's also a nice person). The Chicago Tribune has an amazing weather section and he is at the very least a very significant part of this. I like him a lot and sometimes jokingly refer to him as "Rabeinu (our teacher) Tom" (an extremely great spiritual leader and awesome commentary on the Talmud) (lehavdil: speration. Note: It is customary for Orthodox Jews to say "lehavdil" when comparing "apples to oranges" especially when the comparisons being made are going from spiritual purity to other things) Interestingly enough the opinion of Rabeinu Tom (the real one, not Mr. Skiling) perhaps should have been mentioned in this podcast in regards to what his opinion is in regards to sunset.
This podcast has a couple of slips with my words. I think from the context it can be figured out what I'm saying. At one point I said the word "depends" when it should have been "determined". In addition in regards to the storm system developing in Kansas on Tuesday, I said that it's possible it's the same storm as the one which developed in Idaho on Monday (I just didn't/don't know). This means that the storm would develop in Idaho and then move to Kansas (and strengthen) and then move Northeast through the Midwest. On this podcast I made it sound like the storm would first develop in Kansas and then move to Nebraska. Also, in the very begining I said the word "stuff" after the word "amazing" but I meant to say "things".
Also, I mention 3 storm systems which would affect the Midwest in the next 7 days, but I didn't specify which 3 storms they were, but I did speak...
