One Group Sees Silver Lining in Winter’s Storm Clouds: Meteorologists – NYTimes.com
Brian A. Colle woke up at 1 a.m. on Thursday and headed out into the snow. Using plates of glass he had been storing in a freezer in his garage, he collected snowflakes for analysis with a powerful microscope.
Back-to-back storms have made for a lot of night shifts this year, said Mr. Colle, a professor of marine and atmospheric science at Stony Brook University. But he is not complaining. “We’re always looking for good data sets,” he said, “so we’ve been lucky.”
