Our mail bag has been getting some attention and Kevin is AWOL, so James does an impromptu review of the mail.

From The Weather Center:

WeatherBrains 101: Last week it was scales – the size kind. And this week the professor takes a look at some of the various temperature scales beyond the well known Celsius and Fahrenheit ones. Can your body temperature really be 557 degrees?

TWIWH: Bill Murray looks back at the week of November 18th. And just as you might expect, the highlights of the week of November 18th include a combination of hurricanes, cold weather, high wind, and a tornado plus an earthquake just to shake things up.
