It Has Been Great!!!

I have begun the Dr. Mel book tour, and I have had the chance to meet a lot of wonderful people coming out to the book signings. We had a packed house at RJ Julia, and at Written Words in Shelton.

I am hoping for the same this weekend. On Saturday, I will be at Barnes and Noble in North Haven at 1:00 pm, and on Sunday, I will be at Barnes and Noble in Waterbury at 2:00 pm. All profits for the book go to cancer research, specifically multiple myeloma.

The book is called Dr Mel's Connecticut Climate Book, and it is the first book written on Connecticut climate in nearly a half-century. A lot has happened since then. The first part of the book focuses on every major weather event which has occurred since the Pilgrims landed on these shores. The second portion gives weather data for every town which has had at least 50 years of official records - not just airports, but Norfolk, Falls Village, New Haven, Norwich, Groton, Storrs, Mansfield, Middletown, Burlington, etc. The book took nearly three years to write and research, and there is something there about climate change as well.

It has been well received......but most importantly I get the chance to meet you and share stories with you. Our community page list all the signings that are coming up, but this weekend, I'll be in North Haven and Waterbury. Maybe, I'll see you there.

School Closings:

Would it be possible to have schools systems e-mail their delays and cancellations rather than callin them in? You can do this with channel 3.

Thanks for your assistance,

Went to your booksigning today at Barnes&Noble in Milford-you are informative and entertaining-I was enjoying your weather related stories and am sure I will enjoy your book-giving one to my sister for christmas-she's a weather "junkie".I attended a 1955 flood talk/slide show you gave years ago at the Seymour Historical Society-they had a black&white photo of my aunts&I-I was only 11 yr's old but have never forgotten the sights/sounds of that day-they took us out in boats, the water came up too fast.
