Question
Dave, this is the first time I have used this site. Could you give me some examples of questions that people ask? Do you get a lot of questions from students?
Pam,
I have gotten a wide variety of questions in the past. Some examples include explaining humidity and dew point, how fog forms, what causes a rainbow, why do the winds blow, why does it not snow in a certain area on a given day while other places nearby get snow, etc., etc. Occasionally, I get a question from someone that is out of my area of expertise, and I just can't answer the question. There are times when someone is looking for some past weather data, and I refer him or her to a certain website. I really don't get all that many questions from students, but I do get some.
Sincerely,
Dave Dombek
