Bostonseminole Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 First of all feel free to move this to another thread/forum, figure I would start here. My birthday is coming up andmy Wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I told my wife to buy me some weather books. Basically I want books that Professional Mets and Hobbyist have use(d) to learn more about the weather arounds us. I guess stuff that you keep close to you for reference and also I would love to get a better understanding of reading upper level maps. Thanks R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Not a technical book but I am currently reading Isaac's Storm, about the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. Amazing book describing evolution of NWS and how understanding of cyclones changed over centuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
