[edit] Article copied and pasted?
It looks like parts of the article have been directly copied and pasted from http://meted.ucar.edu/norlat/snow/polarlows/1.3_devofpolarlow.htm ; I don't think that is allowed...? AySz88^-^ 02:02, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted some nonsense
Hello. I'm new here...a meteorologist from Penn State. Should get an account soon...learning my way around Wikipedia. Anyway, this is my first edit ever. Someone had added a bunch of nonsense about "The Coming Global Superstorm" from "The Day After Tomorrow." Setting aside the validity of the claims made in the text, this certainly did not belong in this particular article. There are other articles where it could be better place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.169.112.20 (talk) 04:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
