Title: BRAINSTORM-FIRE & ICE

Today on the Weather notebook it's time for a brand new Brainstorm. A Brainstorm is actually a question that will ramble along here in a few seconds. It's a question that you can brainstorm up an answer. Get it? Hi, my name is Dave Thurlow and you are listening to the Weather Notebook. Keep listening and you'll here a question and the details of the many technologies available for you to answer the question and share your answer with us here at the Mount Washington Observatory. If you respond we'll send you a weather poster. If your answer is particularly impressive to our panel of judges we'll use it on the air and send you a Weather notebook magic mug. So, answer question, get stuff. It's that simple.

Here is the question:

What weather phenomenon requires ice in order to produce fire and how? Again, how can weather get fire from ice?

Now, the question will be at weathernotebook.org for awhile. So, you can check it out there and you can send an answer in from there. Or, you can call us with an answer and leave it on the machine at 1-888-724-6001. That's the same as 1-888-RAIN-001. Or, you can send a good old letter to The Weather Notebook, PO Box 2310, North Conway, NH 03860.

Our show is made possible by the Mount Washington Observatory and by Subaru with major funding provided by the National Science Foundation.
