But I feel I should res= pond to your question=2C "The NOAA site is good=2C but why not use one orie= nted to our area=2C originating with Environment Canada"? While I was cert= ain that anyone wanting local coverage would check the Environment Canada (= EC) site - as you say=2C discussion of the local conditions is bound to be = more in depth - I did not propose the National Hurricane Center (NHC) site = for that reason alone. I believe that the mapping and graphical coverage of= storms is much superior on the NHC site=2C especially for comparitive over= views such as I was proposing (in response to a question someone asked last= week what could be expected to show up after the storm). As a quick exampl= e=2C historical storm data from EC seems to consist of aseries of single da= y snippets=2C while NHC has graphics of the entire storm track. It was pro= posed as a fun exercise=2C but perhaps could be interesting=2C who knows. H= ope to get out birding soon.
