On Wind turbines make weather forecasting more difficult

The National Weather Service can work around these easily. Radars, when in severe weather mode, look at the atmosphere in many horizontal slices. Wind farms show up only on the bottom slice and in very rare cases, the next slice up. Severe thunderstorms on radar show their severe nature on most of the elevated slices. Now, the radar itself has automated alerts and they can be fooled by the wind farm. But, these false alerts happen all the time for many reasons beyond wind farms. The meteorologists job is to determine which is real and which is false. It is the novices on the web who see these alerts and freak out thinking they are real. This gets lots of people excited and the media follows it up with hyped stories like this. Again, the NWS can work around this problem.

It can snow with temperatures in the low 40s.
Snow can also fall at really, really cold temperatures. The reason you typically don't see it snow when it is 40 below is because to get those temperatures you are usually under a big 'ol arctic high pressure system (i.e. clear skies, no wind and dry air). It doesn't snow under one of those high pressure systems.

Um, it's a temporary position. They will be looking for a qualified candidate, and that will take time. It will all be okay.

Actually, Teeber, Milton is so rife with nepotism and "inbreeding" that it would do well to bring in more outsiders. Look at our school district. The nepotism is sickening and couterproductive. You're right, though, we don't need Milton to become Milwaukee suburbia. What we need is a vision that brings progress more like Chicago suburbia. We need more places that can truely make a "Chicago dog" and an Italian beef sandwich... Todd is doing a fine job as adminstrator and it should be noted that his administration discovered the error of the police commission and took action. It wasn't a big deal.
