I've been a little busy of late. Between the first and second waves of “Snowmageddon”, a roof leak developed that rendered my home office and our dining room unusable. This has disrupted my usual sessions of quiet time where I would compose these posts. I hope to return to regular posting in the coming week as the leak has been patched and the floor and carpet are finally drying out sufficient to return furniture to a usable arrangement. Then we need to make arrangements for more robust repairs.
For those who want to claim that these snowfalls are 'proof' that Global Warming (AKA Climate Change) are a hoax, one should note that warmer air holds more water (Wikipedia: Relative Humidity) so precipitation events will tend to be more intense. The concerns that such warming would favor more intense storm formation (of all types) is something I recall hearing back in the early 1990s with hurricanes Hugo and Andrew. Back then, insurance companies became interested in climate change for its potential impact on their bottom-lines.

This site is the blogging component for my main site Crank Astronomy (formerly "Dealing with Creationism in Astronomy"). It will provide a more interactive component for discussion of the main site content. I will also use this blog to comment on work in progress for the main site, news events, and other pseudoscience-related issues.
