No... I’m not fading out of photographs... I just haven’t posted in over a month... Here is what is up:

* Winter - it’s canceled... Well, at least the second half of January... mostly... in all seriousness, it is (FINALLY) going to warm up a little bit (however, big storm next weekend could bring surprises? I doubt it... but can’t completely rule it out just yet)... After a little reinforcing shot of cold air tonite (with a chance of a few SNOW flakes! - unfortunately just flurries, so plan on being at work tomorrow), we go from the high amplitude pattern that has been flooding us with arctic air to a more zonal flow... The aforementioned “big storm” roles through with lots of rain... and then next week looks like we may even enter a western trough, eastern ridge pattern... That never bodes well for SNOW lovers... We’ll call this the “January Thaw”... However, I think things could get interesting going into February, so enjoy it while it lasts!

* wxRadar - I’m running a little late on the v1.1 update... I rewrote a couple of pieces for better performance and UI experience... and I have the search by city working fine now as well as the regional and national maps... However, I’m afraid “Favorites” will have to wait for the next update after v1.1 (I don’t want to delay v1.1 any more)... A few small/minor bugs still need fixing, but I think I should have it ready to submit to Apple sometime in the next 7-10 days... I apologize for the delay, but I promise the update will be worth it!

* The “Dark Project” - I’ll be honest and say that this too has played in to the delay on v1.1 of wxRadar... but... I can’t say much more on this right now.... after all, it wouldn’t be “dark” if I could talk about it... ; )
