Email your weather question

Hi, I'm Dave Thurlow from the Mount Washington Observatory and this is The Weather Notebook. Today, we have a new Brainstorm. As you probably know by now, a Brainstorm is a question I ask you to test your weather knowledge. Anyone who answers gets...a...you know, I have to admit, I'm get kind of bored with the same old introduction.....Bryan, Sean, do we have anything a little more snappier?

'yeah, how about this'

"It's brainstorm time again here on the Weather Notebook! Anyone who sends in an answer, even a guess receives a Weather Notebook poster. But that's not all. If you're the lucky person who has their answer put on the air, you receive a Weather Notebook Magic Mug!!! And now, heeeeeerrrreeeeere's the Brainstorm."

Where is the only place a hurricane cannot form? Repeat, the only place a hurricane cannot form?

"Here's how you can answer today's Brainstorm question. Just give us a call at 1-888-724-6001. That's 1-888-RAIN-001. You can also send us an email by visiting our website at mountwashington.org. Finally, you can send us a letter at Weather Notebook, P.O. Box 2310, North Conway, NH 03860."

Huh, that is kind of snappy isn't it. Anyway, the question once again, where in the world is the only place a hurricane cannot form.

The music you hear playing in the background was composed and performed by Georg Brandl. The Weather Notebook is a production of the Mount Washington Observatory. Major funding is provided by the National Science Foundation and Subaru, the beauty of all wheel drive.
