Starting at 7 p.m. Sept. 26, like gathering clouds on the horizon, Delco is in for a magnificent presentation of weather in Room 103 of the Classroom building. Penn State's own pseudo-celebreties and meteorolo- gists, Dr. Jon Nese of the Franklin Institute and Glen “Hurricane” Schwartz of NBC-10, will be dropping in ) for a picture presentation about the Philadelphia region's weather history. The presentation itself is based on a recently released (June 21, 2002) book the two collarorated on: “The Philadelphia Weather Book; including Delaware, the Poconos, and the Jersey Shore.” ($39.50). There is a display in our bookstore and a book sign- ing by the two weather warriors after their presentation. “Philadelphia Area Weather Book’ offers a little- known history of the region's pivotal role in the devel- opment of weather science that goes back to colonial times...” said a Temple University Web site. The presentation from the book will feature the histo- ry of weather, covering some of its 150 illustrations; including photographs, maps, and some of the most bizarre and intense images of natural weather phenome- non the Philadelphia region has ever suffered through. “You thought we had a bad season this past year ... wait until you see a photo of the Schuylkill River when it was so low you could almost walk across it!” said an excited Dr. Laura Guertin, a professor of earth and min- eral science at Delco’s campus. Guertin did not wish to give away all the information about the book and/or the lecture.
