For the past few months I have been trying to find a cheap, lightweight, portable book to bring along with my over-priced electronic barometer gadget <g> on our Arctic trip this summer. I didn't want a meterology tome, nor discussions on global warming, human history & weather,etc. A fellow Paddlewiser did tell me of some of Alan Watt's books. (I found an inexpensive copy of WATTS, Alan.: DINGHY AND BOARD SAILING WEATHER.; London: Nautical Books., 1984. First Edition, 0-333-34558-4 , which may be useful for home reading.) However, today I finally found what I have been searching for, and thought it might be of some interest to others: The Weather Wizard's Cloud Book : How You Can Forecast the Weather Accurately and Easily by Reading the Clouds Louis D., Sr. Rubin, et al. Paperback - 87 pages Flexi-book edition (October 1989) 24 pages of color plates. Algonquin Books; ISBN: 0912697105 ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.33 x 8.48 x 5.06 List price is < $9 US. It weighs ~ 4 oz. Last summer on our first Barrenground paddle, I found it extraordinarily difficult to get a "feel" for the day's weather. It was neither my first or thousandth time in or out of the woods either! I think this book might be of interest to others.
