Some of you may remember that last year I was all into SwiftWXweather software.  As it turned out the tropical hurricane season was pretty much a bust and at least temporarily other activities took the place of my arm-chair weather forcasting.

But now that winter is upon us I’m back in the saddle!  My $14.50/month subscription has been reactivated and I’m running SwiftFX again!  This year it’s even more exciting than ever because I’ve added a mobile broadband card with integrated GPS to my rig and SwiftWX supports real time position tracking while I’m on the move.   Yea that features is a bit more useful for the tornado chasers out there but you have to admit it’s a significant cool factor!

So expect my weather blogging to increase again as well as a possible ad hoc podcast from the road.  I’ve been peeking at TalkShoeand my brain has been working overtime with the possibility of a live, on the road podcast.  (hint hint - you might want to create a listener account for yourself!)

Well it starts, forcast is calling for upwards of 12 inches falling at a rate of 2 to 3 inches per hour.  Snow began falling in New Haven country 2-hours earlier then predicted.  Stay tuned.. I may get ambitious and fire up the webcam for the ride home.. might even attempt a streaming broadcast. 

If you don’t already have a TalkShoe account you might want to sign up for a free account if your interested in that.  Though I haven’t tested it using the laptop’s sounds system so you  may get dead air and I may be talking to myself.
