Oregonians are nuts for weather. They're hungry for weather
news, anecdotes, statistics, trivia, and, of course,
forecasts. The Oregon Weather Book will whet Oregonians'
insatiable appetite. A comprehensive and fact-filled resource for anyone who
watches, studies, enjoys, or simply endures Oregon weather,
this book offers a history of significant weather events and
a guide to the forces that create and govern our weather.
The authors consider perceptions (and misperceptions) about
Oregon weather by residents and outsiders, including the
origins of the term, "webfoot." An invaluable reference, The Oregon Weather Book is intended
for all Oregonians, from die-hard weather watchers and
professionals to those who look to the skies to make
recreation, travel or business plans. Tips on interpreting
atmospheric conditions will allow amateur forecasters to
analyze and predict weather with greater accuracy.
