Visible Satellite Image showing Snowpack across the East from last weekend’s storm. Note how the northern edge of the snowcover bisects NYC.

While many of my more frequently discussed winter-based stock picks take advantage of cold weather by investing in Natural [...]

Superbowl Weekend is here, but conditions across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast will not feel remotely like the 75 degree weather Saints and Colts fans can expect in Miami as their teams face off in Superbowl XLIV.
First off, I dare any member of the media to come up with a better nickname than “The Who Dat? [...]

If Mother Nature were religious, she would be a devout Taoist and a firm proponent of  the philosophy of Yin and Yang. Were she a college graduate, she would probably be the nerdy one with the physics degree since she seems to be so familiar with Newton’s Third Law stating that every reaction prompts an [...]

The chilly, snowy weather across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast that may put a damper in some people’s New Year’s [...]

The three big storms the past three weeks have left a widespread snowpack across the nation, giving a Fibbonacci Line’s fraction of the country a White Christmas. Below is an aerial map of current snowcover from December 24th, modified to show areas that received snow after the map was updated. 61.2% of the country has [...]

Santa must have done something to royally piss Mother Nature off. For the third consecutive week, a major storm system is set to batter the United States with record snows and strong winds. This time, a wide stretch of the Midwest, from western Kansas through eastern Wisconsin looks to be impacted during some of the [...]
