Blizzard of '93 QuickTime Animation - March 1993
The animation contained in this archive is a loop 
of infrared satellite images showing the path of 
the storm that many on the East Coast of the 
United States called "The Blizzard of '93"
This animation covers all of Friday, March 12 
and Saturday March 13, 1993.  Images are roughly 
every other hour -- 24 frames. The images ]
were downloaded from the Internet site 
"vmd.cso.uiuc.edu" which posts hourly infrared 
and visible satellite gif images.  The gifs were 
converted to PICTs, then NIH Image 1.44 was used 
to touchup a few missed scan lines in several 
images, and compile the images into a PICS 
animation file.  The utility "PICS-to-Movie" 
was used to turn this PICS file into a QuickTime 
movie. The movie is about 3 seconds long, about 
380 kb, and was compressed with the Graphics 
compressor. This movie may be freely 
distributed.  If you like it, drop me a line.  
If you use it in a class or other research or 
educational setting, I'd really appreciate 
a postcard from your university.
