It's December Eve! (And White Christmas Probability)

Hey everyone, can you believe tomorrow is the first day of December?!? Well, I figured I'd get a jump start on the holiday-ish blog posts, so here is some info on whether we are going to have a white Christmas! I went to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) webpage, and found some details. Here is the probability of having a white christmas for our area, and the probability for each amount of snowfall:
                             

NEW YORK                  Amount of snowfall
                         1 in.  5 in.  10 in.
   ALBANY                 63%    30%    13%
   BINGHAMTON             67%    43%    17%
   BUFFALO                57%    23%    13%
   GLENS FALLS            76%    59%    21%
   MASSENA                77%    47%    23%
   NEW YORK               10%     7%     0%
   POUGHKEEPSIE           45%    28%     7%
   ROCHESTER              60%    23%     3%
   SYRACUSE               70%    47%    20%
   UTICA                  71%    46%    18%
   WATERTOWN              69%    41%    21%

Also, NOAA and The Weather Channel had this map on their website:




Everyone, including NOAA, The National Weather Service, and The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), predicts about a 60-80% chance of having a white Christmas for our area of NY. Yay!

Happy holidays everyone!

Visible Vote Program for Windows!

I have recently been using a program for my blackberry called Visible Vote, which I got for free, and I found out that it is now available for the computer as well! Here is a description of the program off of Visible Vote's website:

Visible Vote allows you to Vote on the Bills your legislators are voting on and it then updates your Legislators with your voting preference. It also allows you to write congress personal letters from your desktop easily, monitor where people in your state stand on the issues, and much more!

• Sends an overview letter every week to your legislators on how YOU and others in his/her district are voting.
• Automatically provides feedback to you when senators vote for or against you.
• Update you via email when a new Bill is coming up for vote.
• Send a letter to your Legislators through Visible Vote.
• Track how your legislators are voting on issues you care about.
• Vote on the same Bills as your legislators.
• Look at each issue your legislator agrees or disagrees with you on.
• Check the State Vote Tallies for each bill and see where every State stands on an issue.
• Look at your legislators voting record on the major legislation.

I personally recommend Visible Vote, it is very neat, and free! To download, click here , or go to the Visible Vote homepage at http://visiblevote.us/windowsinfo.php

Are you going to download Visible Vote?
