		<title>A &#8220;Timely&#8221; Topic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A sure sign of spring arrives this Sunday: Daylight Saving Time. At 2AM this Sunday, March 14, most of us in the U.S. will turn our clocks ahead one hour and enjoy some extra daylight in the evenings and until the first Sunday in November, when we go back to Standard Time.
Back in November 2008, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring Flooding Season Has Arrived</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After months of snow and cold, Mother Nature has finally given us a break with an early March thaw. But as the snow piles begin to melt away, our thoughts in the StormCenter turn to where all that melted snow will end up. The answer is easy&#8230; in area rivers. What&#8217;s not so easy is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow Far, So Good . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that it&#8217;s March, temperatures will begin warming rapidly and the mounds of snow (many still from our December blizzard!) rapidly will begin to shrink. It&#8217;s about this time that I begin getting requests for snow totals and how much snow we saw over winter.
Our snow season runs from July 1 through June 30, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Climate and Weather Data Are Only A Few Clicks Away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many of the questions I receive in the Storm Center relate to climate and weather data. What was the warmest day in 2007? How much snow fell last winter? When was that hail storm in early May?
Fortunately, many of these data are only a few key strokes away on the La Crosse National Weather Service [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vancouver&#8217;s &#8220;Summery&#8221; Olympics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the city of Vancouver made their bid to host the 2010 Winter Olympics almost a decade ago, they planned for every contingency &#8212; except Mother Nature.
Daytime temperatures above freezing in the weeks leading up to the opening ceremony played havoc with outdoor course preparation, and forced the Canadians to use helicopters to bring in snow [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring Is Almost Here!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a thought for all you optimists: meteorological spring begins March 1. While we&#8217;ll have to wait until March 20 for the Spring Equinox, when the vertical rays of the sun are over the Equator, it&#8217;s clear that the sun is setting later, rising earlier, and beginning to take a more vertical angle over the [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Warm Start to the 21st Century</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first decade of the 21st Century was the warmest decade ever recorded since modern records have been kept, according to new data released by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), a branch of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In addition, 2009 tied for the second warmest year across the globe in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>All Hail The Mighty Groundhog!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the more important forecasts I make during the year is on February 2. It&#8217;s actually an easy forecast to produce, and I don&#8217;t even have to rely on an analysis of mathematical models, expensive equipment, or even years of meteorology classes. All I have to do is wait for a small rodent to wake [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Wintry Mix = A Wintry Mess!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Area drivers got to deal with icy roads over the past few days thanks to light, but persistent freezing rain. So how does freezing rain form? Well, you&#8217;ve come to the right place!
Unlike summer, when all of our precipitation will fall in the form of liquid, the winter months can bring several types of precipitation. We can [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Hoarfrost&#8221; Putting On Quite A Show Lately</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mother Nature has been very busy lately creating some gorgeous winter scenes across the region. Weather conditions have been perfect the last 4 nights and early mornings for widespread and dense fog to form. We&#8217;ve had mostly clear nights, light winds and lots of low-level moisture from a slowly melting snow-pack. We&#8217;ve also had a [...]]]></description>
