Invaders bugging you

Invaders bugging you

The National Weather Service office in San Diego picked up an invader on the radar… a group of ladybugs called a “bloom.” The weather radar is powerful enough to pick up bats, birds, butterflies and even pollen moving through the atmosphere. The trick is differentiating weather from animals. The ladybugs were flying in a loose aggregation spread throughout the sky between 5,000 and 9,000 feet altitude, and the most concentrated mass was about 10 miles wide. From these more detailed readings, meteorologists can see rain, large hail or in this case, ladybugs. The NWS uses a dual-polarization weather radar. Chances of picking up animals on the radar are higher when California is in its dry season.

Q: Why did the bug cross the road?
A: Cause he wanted to see the “Lady bugs”

Weatherman forecasted the worst storm in over a hundred years, but it didn’t hit us. It was very anticlimactic.

Q: What did one girl firefly say to the other?

Why did the blond cut a hole in her new umbrella?
Because she wanted to be able to tell when it stopped raining.
