For Previous years and events:
Record South Carolina Rainfall Event of 3-4 October 2015. This paper will document the pattern and some forecast aspects of the record rainfall event of 3-4 October 2015. The focus will be on standardized anomalies to identify the pattern and tools which may have provided clues to the potential historic nature of this event. The Average Return Period (ARI) for rainfall events are used here to show the potential benefits of these data in anticipating record events. Though hurricane Joaquin was to the East it is not a subject of this study.
Eastern Pennsylvania Supercells of 30 June 2015
A nearly ideal supercell environment set up in eastern Pennsylvania and adjacent States during the afternoon and evening hours of 23 June 2015. The strong 0-1km shear, high helicity, and high CAPE suggested the potential for supercells. Several supercells developed across the region. Three of the higher impact storms in east central Pennsylvania were presented here from a radar perspective.
These data show that all three storms had mesocyclones. The storm over Lancaster and Berks counties was sampled too high to truly detect the mesocyclone and potential tornado. However, the 1 minute 0.4 degree TPHL TDWR did an excellent job sampling the storm and the strong low-level cyclonic circulation.
The Burnham and Danville storms were tracked on the KCCX WSR-88D. Both storms showed rotation and the Danville storm showed strong rotation in both the base velocity and storm relative velocity data.
There were at least 4 other supercells some were shorter lived and others split. The storm which formed the Danville storm was a shorter-lived supercell thunderstorm.
Mid-Atlantic Heavy rainfall event of 27 June 2015: A summer cyclone brought heavy rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region on 27 June 2015. The event was dominated by stratiform precipitation with little embedded convection. Thus the rain fell over a long period with rates which produce little significant flooding. In the warm air convection developed and lines of convection produce some isolated severe weather and over 4 inches of rain in southeastern New Jersey. Closer to the cyclone and under the lumbering 500 hPa cyclone more showery rainfall developed to include thunderstorms.
Forecasts from the NCEP GEFS and SREF correctly predicted a widespread 1 to 2 inch rainfall with potential for over 3 inches in some locations. The GEFS and its twin the GFS (not shown) showed wider potential for over 3 inches of QPF. These values on a widespread basis proved too high. Timing and location issues dominated and thus there was uncertainty as to when and where the heavy rain would fall. The GEFS did provide guidance suggesting a heavy rainfall event at least 3.5 to 4 days in advance. This was accomplished with a bias toward heavy rain.
The SREF provided better guidance as to the terrain links and regions most likely to received 50 mm (2 inches) or more QPF. It too was a bit slow with the heavy rain and showed later time of accumulation then observed.
The HRRR showed the synoptic portion of the rain event would be faster and end faster than implied by the coarser region and global ensembles. The HRRR also showed that convection would develop in the warm air. Most of the higher QPF amounts in the HRRR were dominated by locations where it produced intense linear convection. In these regions, the HRRR grossly over forecast the QPF. This error likely relates to the convection filling a 3km grid box which real convection rarely does. Forecasters using this guidance should be mindful of this repetitive bias.
Overall, the HRRR showed the character of the event. It provided clues that little or no convection would occur in the cold air. Thus, intense rainfall rates were doubtful. The lack of convection and intense rates likely reduced the threat of flooding despite some impressive forecast amounts. Rates matter. In the warmer and closer to the warmer air higher some higher rates were observed and some severe weather was recorded to.
Mid-Atlantic Severe Weather Event of 23 June 2015
A series of organized convective systems moved across Pennsylvania on 23 June 2015. The strong shear and high CAPE did not quite align well but the two ingredients worked well to produce a significant Mid-Atlantic severe weather event. A majority of the wind damage reports were associated with 3 distinct mini-derechoes which crossed northern, central, and central and eastern Pennsylvania respectively on 23 June. The fourth system was a significant larger QLCS system which produced a significant number of both wind and some hail reports from southeastern Pennsylvania into New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware.
All of these convective system required the production of cold pools to be long lived. Though not shown, downdraft CAPE was relatively high on this day, in the 800 to 1200JKg-1 range at times in central Pennsylvania. This may have been a clue that the storms could produce cold pools.
Additionally, the NCEP 3km HRRR produced a series of convective lines and tracked mesoscale cold pools with these systems. Examples from the 1400 UTC 23 June 2015 HRRR are shown in Figure 17. The HRRR did not explicitly forecast each convective event but it showed the potential for cold pools and for long-lived cold pools which were forecast at time to reach the coastal plain. These cold pools were associated with areas of implied convection in the model simulated radar. The red arrows in Figure 17 highlight such a feature. This case implies there is some incredible forecast potential in the HRRR as it evolves and evolves into and ensemble forecast system.
Southern Plains Severe and heavy rain Event of 6 May 2015: MRMS Rotation Tracks and tornadoes. Severe thunderstorms and strong tornadoes affect the southern plains. Several of the tornadic storms had long-lived rotation tracks. Heavy rain affected the same general regions which had severe weather. The 24 hour rainfall values approched the 100 year return values.
Hail and Severe Event of 20 April 2015: A weak frontal boundary separating shallow cold air to the north east and a surge of warm air produced thunderstorms. On the warm side of the boundary, there was a surge of relatively high CAPE, around 1200 to 1800 JKg-1 and strong low-level shear. This favored the development of large updrafts and potentially rotating storms. Though not shown, there was relatively high low-level helicity in and near the frontal boundary, further increasing the potential for rotating storms.
The HRRR, which forecast and analyzed the high CAPE and shear did produce the potential for a quasi-linear area of convection (Fig. 17 & 18) and implied larger discrete cells along the line.
Several supercells developed and the four larger and more persistent storms produced large hail. The storm which produced large hail in Centre County also produced a short-lived tornado just to the lee of a significant ridge line. Wind damage with all the storms was quite minimal. Despite the nearly ideal CAPE, shear, and LCL heights only one weak tornado was observed.
Eastern United States anafrontal snow 4-5 March 2015: A nearly textbook example of an anafront brought heavy snow; with areas of 10 to 25 inches of snow to portions of Kentucky and heavy snow in southeastern Pennsylvania and Maryland. The snow fall lacked a strong surface cyclone though it occurred in a region of strong baroclinicity with deep warm air on the south side of the boundary and cold arctic air on the cold side of the boundary. At 250 hPa a strong jet developed. Most of the enhanced snowfall on the cold side of the frontal boundary occurred as the jet entrance region moved along the boundary.
The frontal boundary, strong 250 hPa jet with +4 to +5s u-wind anomalies and the potential for significant QPF was well predicted by both NCEP EFSs. The GEFS and SREF predicted the anomalous jet, the area of high QPF and the arctic air under cutting the warm moist air to the south.
Relative to other high impact snow events, this event lacked a strong surface cyclone and was not associated with a strong 850 hPa low-level easterly jet. There was no cyclone or "storm" associated with this winter "storm". This anafront was more about dueling anticyclones than cyclones. The famous Pennsylvania weather forecasting quote about predicting heavy snow "forecast the high forecast the snow" was relevant in this case.
There were forecast issues related to snow amounts and the timing of the transition from rain to snow. The existed in both EFS and in the high resolution models. The timing of the transition was critical to the timing of the snow and potential for heavy snowfall. The HRRR was used to show the timing in the Ohio Valley and southeastern Pennsylvania. These forecasts show great promise for rapidly updated high resolution models.
Adriatic snow event of 5 March 2015: Capracotta Italy Extreme Snowfall event. Heavy snow impacted Italy and the Balkans with record snows on both sides of the Adriatic. Brief summary of the conditions. GEFS forecasts, the anomalies with the circulation about the close 500 mb low for this impressive late winter snow event.
Mid-Atlantic Ice Storm 4 March 2015:A significant cold air damming and mixed precipitation event occurred over northern and central Pennsylvania on 3-4 March 2015. This event was somewhat dwarfed by the significant snow event of 4-5 March 2015 which affected a broad region of the United States from the south into the Ohio Valley in Mid-Atlantic region. However, this event did produce significant ice, canceled schools, and disrupted transportation on a more regional and local scale. Additionally, this event was relatively well predicted and showed the value of using ensembles and high resolution models during complex issues related to mixed precipitation and cold air damming.
The NCEP SREF and HRRR both performed well during this event. The SREF clearly showed the potential for a modest precipitation event and the potential for warm air overrunning cold air. Thus the SREF produces rain in southwestern Pennsylvania and a high probability of both sleet and freezing rain in central and northern Pennsylvania. At shorter ranges, the HRRR showed the precipitation and cold air damming issues. The HRRR also provided the potential to time and provide relatively precise, within a few hours, information related to the freezing rain event.
In this event, the HRRR showed and displayed the potential snow to rain transition rather well. Though not shown here, the HRRR showed a brief period of snow in State College before the snow went to sleet and freezing rain. The 2m temperatures remained below 0C few hours longer than implied by the HRRR forecast. During this event and experience with 6 other events in the November 2013 through March 2015 suggest that as good as the HRRR is at showing trapped cold air in valleys and east of the Appalachian mountains, the model is typically too fast in eroding the cold air. The error is typically on the order of a few hours but new model runs come in aiding in forecasting the potential prolonged persistence of the cold air
Mid-Atlantic Deformation snow 21-22 February 2015:A retreating arctic air mass and 500 hPa trough (Fig. 1a), which produce record cold over the eastern United States (Grumm 2015) and an approaching arctic air mass produced a snow event in the Mid-Atlantic region on 21-22 February (Fig 2). The western edge of the retreating arctic air 850 hPa (Fig. 3) was along the East Coast and western Atlantic at 0000 UTC 21 February 2015. A surge of warm air moved into the Mid-Atlantic region ahead of a second surge of cold air (Figs. 3b-e). At the surface (Fig. 4), a retreating anticyclone was associated with the retreating cold air. A trough developed between the approaching and retreating anticyclones (Fig. 4c-f). A strong surface cyclone or storm was not present during this "winter storm". Most of the snow fell in the deformation zone between the two anticyclones.
It will be shown that forecasts of this event by several modeling systems to include the NCEP GEFS indicated a stronger cyclone than observed. These forecasts systems also produced too much quantitative precipitation too far north relative to the observed location of the more robust observations of snow and QPE (Figs. 2 & 5). Thus human forecast were biased toward more QPF and heavy snow farther north than observed.
This paper will document the pattern and anomalies associated with the snow event of 21-22 February 2015. Section 3 section will examine the forecasts produced by the NCEP ensemble forecast systems.
The Big Chill of 18-20 February 2015
A strong arctic front moved into the Mid-Atlantic region and eastern United States on 18 February 2015. The arctic front produced a line of intense snow showers as it moved across portions Pennsylvania. As shown, the 3km NCEP HRRR did relatively well predicting the snow squalls along the arctic front during the afternoon of 18 February 2015.
Overall, the NCEP NAEFSBC and SREF forecasts of the arctic frontal passage on 18 February and the deep cold air over the eastern United States on 20 February were quite useful. The in addition to the forecasts of deep cold air over the eastern United States, the SREF showed a large and anomalously strong anticyclone around 1200 UTC 20 February. The large anticyclone, the cold air, and the extensive snow cover, produce nearly ideal radiational cooling conditions over the region. This likely contributed to the 632 record low temperature records tied or broken on 20 February 2015 (Table 2).
This arctic outbreak was relatively well predicted by the 3 forecast systems presented. As the NAEFS contains data from the NCEP GEFS and CMC Ensemble forecast system, it can be assumed that these two systems also provided useful guidance. The high resolution HRRR also provides useful information related to details in the potential snow bands associated with strong fronts, aides in post-event analysis, and provides detailed short-range temperature forecasts.
The Big Chill 14-16 February 2015 A series of arctic air masses entered the eastern United States during the month of February 2015. The second in a succession of these air masses was associated with a deep 500 hPa trough (Fig. 1). At 850 hPa a pocket of extremely cold air moved into the region. The 850 hPa temperatures ranged from -20 to -26C with 850 hPa temperature anomalies on the order of -2 to -4s over portions of the eastern United States (Figs 2-a-f). The coldest air "la crème de la crème" of North American cold with 850 hPa temperatures in the -32 to -34C ranged were focused over northern New England (Fig. 2c). The deep trough (Fig. 1) and deep cold air (Fig. 2) were associated likely contributed to cyclogenesis (Fig. 3a). A modest low pressure over the Great Lakes spread snow to the east. As this feature and the strong frontal boundary reached the coast (Fig. 3b) rapid cyclogenesis ensued (Fig. 3c-e). The strong gradient between the deepening cyclone and strong anticyclone to the west produced strong winds. The strong easterly winds north of the surface cyclone (Fig. 4) contributed to the heavy snow eastern New England in areas in close proximity to the -3 to -4850 hPa jet (Figs. 4c-d). Over Pennsylvania, light snow fell ahead of the developing cyclone over the Great Lakes. The total accumulated precipitation is shown in Figure 5. As the cyclone moved eastward and the arctic front swept across the State, it produced a line of convectively enhanced snow which included reports of thunder with the snow. Lightning was also observed along the line. The NCEP HRRR 2100 UTC 14 February analyzed radar (Fig. 6a) and forecasts from 5 previous cycles valid at 2100 UTC 14 February (Fig. 6b-f) show the convective line and simulations of this feature. The HRRR provided extremely useful guidance related to the passage of a very strong front with implied convective snowfall along the leading edge. This paper will document the pattern and anomalies associated with the ECWS of 8-10 February 2015. Section 3 will focus on the pattern and standardized anomalies to put the event into context. As with all high impact weather events, the forecasts and the communications of these forecasts are important. The 4th section will examine the forecasts produced by the NCEP ensemble forecast systems and the HRRR.
Snow, freezing rain, and shallow arctic Air 8-10 February 2015: NCEP HRRR success story: A strong baroclinic zone in the eastern United States separated arctic air from relatively warm air to the south. Easterly flow on the colder side of the boundary produced a long duration snow event from about 7-10 February. A short-wave moved this baroclinic zone 8-9 February producing snow and areas of heavy snow deep in the cold air and a region of freezing rain as the shallow arctic air drifted southward on 8-9 February. Heavy snow was observed in east-central New York and eastward to Boston.
This system had a relatively low predictability horizon (PH) and forecasts from 4-6 February had considerable spread and thus low confidence in where the higher QPF amounts would occur. The GEFS showed large spread in the baroclinic zone in the temperature and mean sea-level pressure fields. Despite the low confidence rather robust forecasts for heavy snow were presented at times from central Pennsylvania to New England. The NCEP GEFS (Figs. 7-9) showed the low confidence at longer ranges. However, the GEFS did correctly focus the higher probability for higher QPF amounts near the region where the higher snow amounts were observed.
The NCEP SREF showed warmer 850 hPa temperatures and the potential for the rain snow line to be farther north than the GEFS and EC (not shown). The SREF also showed the potential for mixed precipitation. As the forecast horizon decreased, the spread decreased and the forecasts converged toward the higher QPF and thus snow from central New York into eastern Massachusetts. The SREF and GEFS both indicated considerable uncertainty that may or may not always be utilized by forecasters.
Late on 8 and 9 February, as the cyclone began to develop, the precipitation increased. The higher observed QPE amounts (Fig. 5) were observed from 0000 UTC 9-10 February. During this period of time the HRRR showed the surge of shallow arctic air southward along the coast (Fig. 11) and the southward progression of the freezing rain southward with time. The HRRR correctly forecast the shallow arctic air down into northern Maryland by 1200-1400 UTC 9 February into northern Maryland and into western Pennsylvania (Fig. 12) while keeping the relatively warm air anchored in the higher terrain of the Appalachian mountain into central Pennsylvania.
These data imply that the high resolution, rapidly updated HRRR (Fig. 6,11, & 12) can simulate shallow cold air masses down the coastal plain and thus provide clues to potential freezing rains. The high resolution of the HRRR and its high resolution terrain provide it with a critical advantage over coarser Regional and Global models. In this case, the HRRR did remarkably well with both the southward advance of the shallow cold air and the persistence of the relatively warmer air in the central Appalachians.
Eastern United States Winter Storm of 1-2 February 2015-Northeast Ground Hog Storm
A major Winter Storm brought precipitation from the Great Lakes into the eastern United States primarily from 1-2 February 2015 (Fig. 1). North of the primary cyclone track heavy snow and blizzard conditions were observed. Heavy snow was observed northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin across northern Indian and southern Michigan on 1 February. Chicago's O'Hare airport received 20.2 inches of snow, the 4th largest snowfall observed at the site. The much of the region of heavy snow was buffeted by strong winds with gusts between 50 and 60 mph. This resulted in snow drifts in the range from 2 to 5 feet (WFO-Chicago). The strong winds were associated with a strong gradient between a strong anticyclone to the north and west and surface cyclone tracing into the Midwest (Fig. 2a-d).
As the storm moved into the Mid-Atlantic region, (Fig. 2e-f) a secondary cyclone developed along the coast. The Miller-B type cyclone evolution with the primary cyclone moving into western Pennsylvania and southwestern New York (Fig. 3) allowed warm air to change the snow to rain over most of Pennsylvania, dramatically limiting snow amounts. Based on hourly HRRR 0-hour forecasts, the secondary cyclone developed along the coastal plain in southern New Jersey (Fig. 3d-e). This secondary cyclone became an East Coast Winter storm (ECWS: DeGaetano et al. 2002) producing rain, a wintry, mix and heavy snow from Long Island into New England. The total precipitation for this phase of the event (Fig. 4) indicated that the higher QPE amounts occurred just north of the cyclone center from eastern Pennsylvania across Long Island. Some locally higher QPE was observed over southeastern New England and eastern New York. Most of the precipitation fell as rain in the 32 to 48 mm QPE band along the coast. Most inland areas received snow with heavier snow amounts in eastern Massachusetts. his paper will document the pattern and anomalies associated with the winter storm of 1-2 February 2015. Section 3 will focus on the pattern and standardized anomalies to put the event into context. Section 4 will present some of the uncertainty information provided by the NCEP EFS suite. The human forecasts, which were based on a mix of models and the European Center forecast system were not readily available and are not presented here.
East Coast Winter Storm of 25-27 January 2015: A major East Coast Winter storm (ECWS: DeGaetano et al. 2002) brought snow and areas of heavy snow to portions of the Mid-Atlantic region and the northeast. The heaviest snow fell over eastern Long Island northward into eastern New England. The storm evolved as a northern stream clipper moved into the Mid-Atlantic region then off the East Coast. This system merged with a southern stream system which led to rapid cyclogenesis southeast of Long Island (Fig. 1). The evolution of the cyclone on 27 January is shown in Figure. 2. During this phase the storm had strong low-level winds and the 850 hPa low-level jet had -5 to -6 u-wind anomalies (Fig. 3).
Stuart and Grumm (2006) showed that many high impact ECWS are associated with -3 to -6 850 hPa wind anomalies. The strong u-wind anomalies (Fig. 3) with -6 u-winds with this and with previous storms is often an indication of a meteorologically and climatologically significant event. Not surprisingly, many locations in eastern Connecticut, Rhode Island, Long Island, and Massachusetts had near record snowfall. Worcester, MA set a new record snowfall of 33.5 inches (AP 2015) breaking the old record of 33 inches set on 1 April 1997. Boston had its sixth all-time largest snowfall. A list of locations with over 20 inches of snowfall is summarized in Table 1.
This paper will document the pattern and anomalies associated with the ECWS of 25-27 January 2015. Section 3 will focus on the pattern and standardized anomalies to put the event into context. As with all high impact weather events, the forecasts and the communications of these forecasts are important. The 4th section will examine the forecasts produced by the NCEP ensemble forecast systems and what these data implied.
Coastal Cyclone of 23-24 January 2014:
An East Coast Winter Storm (ECWS: DeGaetano et al. 2002) brought heavy snow for Pennsylvania along with its neighboring states. The storm evolved from a southern system off the Gulf Coast which then moved up and off the East Coast and eventually combined with a northern Canadian low strengthening the off shore system (Figure 1). The evolution of the low is shown in figure (Figure 2). A large percentage of the historic snowstorms along the East Coast typically involved a surface cyclone, which comes up the East Coast. This particular storm contained an 850 hPa low level jet with -2 to -3σ u-wind anomalies and 2 to 3σ v-wind anomalies (Figure 3 & Figure 4).
Forecasts of this storm will be shown from an NCEP ensemble perspective. The extent of the southern surface low into Pennsylvania provided a gradient in snowfall totals and forecasts across the state. The NCEP guidance originally placed the highest precipitation south of Pennsylvania into Maryland and Northern Virginia. However, the highest snowfall totals were in eastern Pennsylvania and New York City area into New England, the areas to the south mainly saw rain. The storm snowfall totals ranged between 1 inch and a maximum of 7-8 inches for the heaviest hit regions (Figure 5). Some of areas in New England with higher snowfall totals were later affected by the 23-24 January 2015 Major East Coast Winter Storm.
This paper will document the pattern and anomalies associated with the ECWS of 23-24 January 2015. Section 3 will focus on the pattern and standardized anomalies to put the event into context. As with all high impact weather events, the forecasts and the communications of these forecasts are important. The 4th section will examine the forecasts produced by the NCEP ensemble forecast systems and what these data implied.

Both Cain and Gingrich are putting to good use in their campaigns their most recent books -- and, in Gingrich's case, DVD -- and doing so in ways that do not violate campaign laws. Some foolish pundits claim this a reason to discount the serious nature of their candidacies. Do they not remember Jimmy Carter's book "Why Not the Best?" -- promoted during his successful race in 1976?
One of two things will likely happen as this race develops. Either Cain will continue to rise and, in the process, disabuse the racist elite press of its mistaken notion that a black Republican is not a viable candidate or Cain will start to drop, leaving Gingrich as the last person with a chance to challenge Romney.
Understand that Romney is the only candidate so far not to be damaged by Cain's meteoric rise or Gingrich's slow ascension. Romney remains the best-organized and strongest overall candidate in this contest. No question about that.
But make no mistake, either, that blood is thicker than water. Gingrich and Cain are from not only the same region of the nation but also the same political school of thought. And like the great horse Secretariat, neither minds sitting behind the front-runners in order to make a mad, late dash for a win. (Gingrich in recent days has finished in second place in GOP presidential polls in four states.)
Time will tell what happens, but trust me on what I know: These two "Georgia boys" are taking the GOP to an old-fashioned woodshed. If you thought 1994 was something, just wait until they get through forcing Republicans to start another revolution.

Exhibition: Side by Side: Philip Johnson's Glass House and Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House
Side by Side is an exhibition by photographer Robin Hill that explores the similarities and differences between two of America's most iconic houses. The Glass House by Philip Johnson and The Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe. Through a series of dyptychs, Mr. Hill's lens explores both the geometry of the structures and their place in the environment. Tellingly the exhibition is housed in the Seagram Building designed by Mies van der Rohe and assisted by Philip Johnson. The lobby of The Four Seasons is an ideal venue for this exhibition as much of the design aesthetic of both architects is prevalent in the space as well as in the photographs.

Frank Gehry's Eisenhower Memorial Wins Final Approval
The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) has awarded Frank Gehry's controversial Eisenhower Memorial final approval during a meeting held on July 9. This means all agencies overseeing the project has (finally) agreed on the design, which has taken 15 years and many design revisions to achieve. The project, now a joint venture between Gehry and AECOM, was initially granted preliminary approval last October.
"The resulting Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial design satisfies the goals of the seven design principles established for this site in 2006 by the NCPC to preserve and enhance the unique character of this site and establish a new green space within the context of L'Enfant's plan for Washington D.C.," said the NCPC in their final report.

Majors fair helps students find their niche
More than 30 different departments and programs gathered in the SAC on Feb. 11 for the 2014 Majors Fair, attempting to attract undecided or on-the-fence students to their offered majors.
Each booth had a variety of faculty and staff including professors, department chairs, and the departmental advisor. Information was laid about the courses offered, the program itself, internship opportunities, and possible careers for after graduating college.
"They can make contacts with faculty, ask about minors, schedule advising appointments and even declare their majors," said Meagan West, A&S academic advisor.
With advising appointments coming up for many students, the Majors Fair was very helpful in preparing students to set up their schedules. Whether they already declared a major or where undecided, students were able to gain a lot of new information to get them ready for the upcoming semester and help them make it a successful one.
"We have a small department, which is to our advantage, the classes are relatively small," said a representative of the French department. "We have a good feeling of community, a sense of belonging, and we have our work exchange program were students who major in French can go work in a business in Montpellier for a month and it's just an incredible experience."
While the fair was beneficial to departments, students also gained from the experience.
"I learned a lot about the differences between a Bachelors of Science and Bachelors of Arts in my already solidified major, so I can further know what classes to take," said psychology and biology double major, James Wood.
A&S Advising, Career Development Center and the Disability Center also had booths for questions regarding anything outside the majors. Students could make appointments, find out information about the resources available, and more importantly how to access those resources.
Students who attended the fair received free lunch and a t-shirt after going around to the booths they were interested in.
The College of A&S is having an event on March 6 in the Red Barn where interested students can enjoy lunch and receive a free t-shirt while connecting with faculty and alumni from their respected majors. More information about other departments is provided in online, in department offices or from an advisor.

There are 600 cases of the deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 Altagracia, a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot. This seductive effort reveals more fruit, charm, and lushness than the structured, more narrow 2000. It should prove to be a crowd-pleaser if consumed over the next 7-8 years. The selection for this offering is not made in the vineyard, but rather in May, immediately before bottling.Drink Dates: 2003-2011

($75; a blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot and 8% petit verdot) Good dark red. Cool but complex nose melds cherry, currant, cedar and lead pencil. Sweet on entry, then lively in the middle palate, with cool flavors of maraschino cherry, redcurrant, loam and mint. Higher-pitched and less pliant than the Eisele Vineyard cabernet, without the lush texture and ripeness of that wine. The tannins are less fine, but this second wine shows very good persistence.Author: Stephen Tanzer
