The Second Edition of My Northwest Weather Book is Now Available!
My new book is greatly improved and expanded over the first edition, with new chapters on the meteorology of Northwest wildfires and the weather of British Columbia. A completely revamped chapter on the effects of global warming on our region. And it has been brought up to date with recent weather events and the imagery is improved greatly.
Where can you get it?
Local bookstores, such as the University of Washington bookstore. The UW Bookstore has just received several dozen copies.
Or secure a copy from the publisher: UW Press.
Or Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park or Seattle.
And yes, there are online sellers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Be sure to have it at Island Books on Mercer Island!
