I just want to take a minute to say thanks to the people who have the data mining and GIS (Geographic Information System) expertise to make some of the maps you see here. I pull them from a myriad of sources, but I don't make money on this blog, and I certainly don't intend any copyright infringement. Here's a few of the places I have snagged maps from:
- Tropical Tidbits (Levi Cowan)
- pivotalweather.com
- NOAA/NWS
- College Of DuPage
There have been many others the last couple of years, and I am grateful to those that put them out there. They tell the weather story far better than I. And with a straight job and rugrat to raise (even though she's not so little now), I don't have the time to devote to learning how to ingest and build the maps.
Let me be clear here: I make no pretense as to having created the weather maps you see on the blog postings. With only a couple of exceptions, the four sites above are the ones I am using lately for various reasons. Those maps were created by and belong to the people or entity that created the pages I find them on. And lastly, "No challenge to copyright or ownership is expressed or implied." Ever.
Thanks.
