Extreme New England Weather
By Josh Judge and special guests from around New England
Foreword by Elliot Abrams (WBZ, Accuweather)
Coming November 6th, 2010 from SciArt Media
Extreme New England Weather is in the forecast for the northeast, coming November 6th, 2010 from Josh Judge and special guests from around the six states of the northeast!
This upcoming book chronicles the events surrounding the greatest storms to hit New England during the last one hundred years. The stories and pictures cover such historic events as the hurricane of 1938, the blizzard of 1978, 1991’s “Perfect Storm,” the Great Ice Storm of 2008 and lots more. Extreme New England Weather contains over 300 pages and 300+ images from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connectucut. Told in images and stories from both celebrities and ordinary people, this book hits with impact, imparts knowledge and delights with humor.
For his second book, Josh’s distinctive voice is joined by featured contributions by his colleagues from Storm Watch 9, a flurry of other meteorologists and weather scientists and others from every state in New England – we are releasing names one-by-one, so keep checking back. It also includes a previously unreleased interview with the late Don Kent, interviewed by NH author Eric Pinder.
