The Weather Signpost Jargon Buster

Lets say you're new to the weather world. You've just subscribed to your first e-mail list or newsgroup. And you see wacky acronyms and crazy words thrown at your face. You try to hang in there. Then you yell, "Who's got the code book?!!" Relax. There are other's who are just like you and I was once part of the group. Out of convenience, I've created a page for myself to counter such problems. And it turned out to be pretty useful. So I present to you, The Weather Signpost Jargon Buster!
