Storm by George R. Stewart

3.0

A quaint and dated story of a winter storm, the people it impacts, and the meteorologists who track its course. Most people will know by now that this book allegedly was the inspiration for the National Weather Service's tradition of naming tropical storms. The prose is a bit stiff and about what you'd expect from someone whose dust-jacket photo looks like Floyd the barber from the Andy Griffith Show. Props to the author, though, for learning so much about various fields -- meteorology, hydrology, road maintenance, transportation systems -- for the book's numerous plot lines.
