Air and its Layers

Air is invisible, but its molecules scatter sunlight to produce the sky’s blue colour. While cloud droplets are also colourless, when large masses of droplets reflect incoming light they create clouds that seem white, grey or almost black. Cloud patterns are monitored from satellites and meteorologists interpret them to track weather.

We have some really exciting news!

Radio silence broken! The prototype of Oakley the Opabinia is on its way to Paleo Pals® HQ! Assuming all is well with our final inspection, we will be moving forward with our 3rd plush toy Kickstarter with the hopes of launching between Winter 2019 and Spring 2020!😁

Amazing Iceberg

Icebergs sometimes are lined. When glaciers flow, they can pick up and carry sediment with them and stretch it into long, thin bands formed where two glaciers meet (http://tmblr.co/Zyv2Js10MmSTx).

Those lines of dark ice can endure even when glaciers reach the sea – dark, sediment-rich layers alternating with cleaner, almost-pure ice layers.

Dear Gaiman, I'm not a huge fan of Sandman (I'm more into good omens and American gods and anansi boys) but my dad read it few years ago. He once told me that he was friends with cinamon,the girl who death was based off of. My dad says they met through being among with the other homeless kids in the area. Is cinamon a real person and if so, did you know her? P.S. my dad still has an autographed poster where you wrote "eat something" because he was so skinny at the time

Yes, her name was Cinamon Hadley, and she was a friend of Mike Dringenberg, the artist, who borrowed her face and look for Death.

I didn’t know her, although we sent messages to each other from time to time, but I wish I had. She died in January 2018.

Warm Arctic, Nasty North America

In recent years, North America has been hammered by severe winter weather. A few years ago, scientists at NOAA developed a “Winter weather misery index” called the Accumulated Winter Season Severity Index (AWSSI), which takes into account all the features of winter weather such as how much snow has fallen, the depth and extent of extreme cold snaps, and how long it has been since the last fall temperatures. Using recorded weather data from several dozen weather stations around the U.S., the scientists who created the index were able to characterize what a mild winter was at a certain location compared to an extreme winter, and the range in-between.
