UWUO Weather Guru Predicts Extreme Winter
excerpted from the London Freee Presss, 01 April 2014:
A real scientific study with formulas and stuff was released today by a bunch of scientists including Prof. R. Sica, Professor of Whether at The University of Western University Ontario. The study boldly predicts that the winter of 2013-2014 will be one of the coldest on record. Mustang Scientist Sica told this paper that: "we’ve gone over the results with a fine tooth comb and are highly certain that a combination of highs, lows and other emotions will result in a very cold winter, particularly in January and February 2014." Sica also said: “don’t put those snow shovels away until March.”
The study will be submitted to the prestigious journal Nauturel sometime this summer .

Can you resist joining the Citation Club?
As always a great 1 April email from the Space Physics & Aeronomy Section of the American Geophysical Union.

Do not break the chain. In your next publication, cite a paper by every one of the authors in the list below. Then remove the top author, add your name to the bottom of the list, and mail this message to ten of your colleagues who are not on the list. One of our colleagues who broke the chain lost the supporting research and technology grant he had previously successfully renewed a dozen times. A colleague who continued the chain soon had a sufficiently high H-index to both become an AGU fellow and be nominated for fellowship in the NAS.
