It's PI Day! Before I contionue my conversation with Neil Manausa about how to get started in beekeeping, I delve into some interesting facets of the number PI (3.1415926....) thanks to an Instagram post from FOX 8 morning meteorologist Scott Sabol.

Are honey bees really as friendly as tail-wagging puppy dogs? My guest says, "Absolutely, YES!" Neil Manausa talks about his new northern Virginia hive, something he has been wanting to do for more than fifty years.

My returning guest today is Jon Talbot, retired Air Force Hurricane Hunter and former Lyndon State College classmate whose hobby in astrophotography is something Jon tells the WeatherJazz® audience is easy and relatively inexpensive to dive into. If you'd like to see some of the equipment that Jon made reference to in today's program, you can actually WATCH the program on WeatherJazz.com

Meteorologist Paul Piorek is still a well-known name in the New York City area despite a recent career shift from morning television meteorologist at News 12 to an earth science teacher in southern Connecticut. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation.

It's science Wednesday! I continue in the exploration of our own astronomical backyard by a fascinating look at "the red planet," Mars.

It's not often a photographer has the chance to capture a volcanic eruption up close. My guest today is Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove, a photographer who originally grew up in Belgium, but moved to Iceland about five years ago after his youth group experienced Iceland during a Scouting trip. Jeroen's new book, New Earth (links available on WeatherJazz.com ) captures his adventure in photographing the eru...

et's continue in the Solar System Science Wednesday series by taking an interesting look at our nearest planetary neighbor, Venus!

It's so encouraging to hear more birds singing at sunrise. It's even more encouraging to see backyard thermometers approaching 60°F! It's hardly safe to put away the wintry gear, though. Let's discuss WHY, today on WeatherJazz®!

My special OpenLineFriday guest is Hildur Jones from Iceland. I became acquainted with Hildur during my August 2018 adventure to Iceland when I took my son, Noah, to experience this unique land. We always searched out a church to attend wherever we went on our father-son retreats. That's how we encountered Loftstofan Baptistakirkja and how we became fast friends with Gunnar Ingi Gunnarsson, someon...

I start a new "Science Wednesday" series this week with a tour of our amazing solar system beginning with the planet closest to our sun, Mercury. It's a very strange place with a ton of unique features. Let's explore on today's episode of WeatherJazz®!

This morning, I had the privilege to speak with Bob Barnes. He is zig-zag cycling across the USA to visit every single US state Capital (yes, even Alaska and Hawaii with a little help from a ferry and an aircraft). I caught up to Bob as he crossed the Arkansas border. Why is Bob doing this? Let's ask him, today on WeatherJazz®!

It's not surprising that so many of my former college classmates from Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vermont have some really interesting hobbies. One of them is Jonathan Talbot, retired Air Force Hurricane Hunter. Jonathan now lives along the gulf coast. In his retirement from chasing after hurricane eye-walls, he now casts his gaze outward from Earth when skies are clear. Let's explore how...

I had a wonderful listener question about something he experienced this weekend from the shore of Lake Erie. Plus, I'll look at some interesting stats on ice cover on Lake Erie in the winter.

It's a cleanup Friday after a massively long stretch of snowy weather brought traffic to a near standstill on Thursday. I'll recap the highlights while also telling you why I will never, ever "name" winter storms on WeatherJazz® or anywhere else! Plus, how FUN to receive a special shoutout this morning from Music Radio Creative in the UK during their Free Jingle Friday program on YouTube.

It's time to "dig in" to yet another snowstorm and its impact on the Ohio Valley!

No sooner did the nor'easter leave southern New England with over two feet of windblown snow, yet another storm system has the potential to drop some serious snowfall somewhere in the Ohio Valley toward the end of the work week. Let's explore the early indications without putting numbers on this system.

My brother Denié lives in New Bedford, Massachusetts... ground ZERO for what could be a memorable blizzard that begins early Saturday morning. I asked Denié if he would join me for today's episode of WeatherJazz® to share his observations of how southern New Englanders were preparing for the weekend nor'easter. Watch for photos and videos on WeatherJazz®.com as well as on AndreBernier.com this wee...

Ever hear of a baker burying their bread to bake? It's TRUE! There ARE people who actually do this! Let';s take a trip to a place where they do this every single day.

WJW-FOX-8 morning meteorologist Scott Sabol is today's guest. We discuss the 2021-2022 winter outlook. What went right so far, and what went wrong (and why). We then look at the long range teleconnections to see if we have any good clues as we work into the second half of this current winter season. (NOTE: Our FOX 8 "Rest Of The Winter Outlook" will air on February 3rd, and NOT January 27th.)

I've known Pastor Gunnar Gunnarsson of Iceland's Loftstofan (Upper Room Church) for many years. He is a frequent visitor to The WeatherJazz® Podcast. Today's visit is special as it is a celebration of one hundred episodes of the podcast that I produce for them called, Sermons From Iceland. Let's get to know Pastor Gunnar, his family, his heart for ministry, and his hobbies and home life. This epis...

Can an explosive volcano have any kind of measurable impact thousands of miles away? The answer is a definitive YES! Let's explore this today, on WeatherJazz®.
