NO: We will not nuke hurricanes. And a US weather agency has responded to public pressure by explaining why.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has led its Hurricane Research Division's frequently asked questions page with an extraordinary - even for America - statement: "During each hurricane season, there always appear suggestions that one should simply use nuclear weapons to try and destroy the storms."
Simply?
Put nuclear winter aside for a moment.
And even the political - and radioactive - fallout.
NOAA's carefully worded response gives a more practical analysis.

An unusual health hazard has been doing its rounds in the city for the last few weeks. A stinking odour grips the city and neighboring areas, especially in the evening. Civic bodies and health department are clueless regarding the source of the stench. This has left many complain of breathing problems.
Initially, it was suspected that the stink was from the Brahmapuram waste treatment plant but corporation officials stoutly deny it. The health department is mum over the issue.
The stink was initially felt outside the city at Eroor, Thripunithura, Irumbanam and Kalamassery. This has now spread to Vyttila, Palarivattom, Edappally and Kakkanad. Several people have experienced breathing problem and even vomiting sensation during rains when the intensity of stench is greater.
"Regular exposure to discomforting odour can trigger respiratory ailments and cough. Asthmatic patients will experience severe problems," said district medical officer Dr Junaid Rahman.

The Jet Stream is moving - and it's NOT HAARP. No, it's a much more powerful electrical source: The SUN.
The worshipers of the "HAARP can do anything and everything anywhere and everywhere" church of magic realism don't do much comparative research in their field. If they did, they'd find that the electrical nature of the universe, and solar system - and Sun - easily and readily (and better) explain what's going on with the weather...

Up to four inches of rain is expected along with snowfall in more inland mountainous areas and a tidal storm surge of up to 5ft is possible, forecasters say. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said tens of thousands of people were in need of shelter, including 20,000 in public housing. Almost 2million people still have no power as cold weather sets in - a week after Sandy wreaked havoc on the East Coast, killing at least 113 in the US.
Hundreds of thousands of commuters today faced tricky journeys into the city as public transport remained patchy. Rail service was reduced and the subway was at 80 per cent of its normal service. Most schools were due to reopen today, but some lacked power and others were being used as shelters.

Geophysicist Jessica Turner at the National Earthquake Information Center said some people reported hearing a loud boom in their homes, according to The Associated Press. Turner said those on upper floors of a home may have felt shaking or saw objects on walls vibrate.
The quake was 3 miles below ground and could also be felt in Wanaque, Oakland, Franklin Lakes, West Milford and Peterson. Ringwood police said there are no reports of damage in the area, the Associated Press reported.
The last recorded earthquake in New Jersey struck in February 2010 and measured 2.2 magnitude, Turner said.

Stunning: Snow coats the countryside near Bath, Somerset, as heavy snowfall hit the region this morning.
Up to six inches of snow was reported in areas including Bath, Frome, Midsomer Norton and the Medips.
Bath and North East Somerset (Banes) Council said it had been caught unaware because no snow was forecast.
Buses and trains were suspended, while Wiltshire police confirmed that several vehicles had become stuck in snow near Bradford-on-Avon.
A leopard suspected of killing and eating 15 people in Nepal may have killed others across the border in India, a police official says.
The remains of the most recent victim, a 4-year-old boy, was found Saturday in a forest just over half a mile from his home, CNN reported. Police say the leopard probably seized the boy and dragged him away to eat.
Kamal Prasad Kharel, chief of police in the Baitadi district, said searchers had been combing the area, looking for the missing child. All that was found was the head.

By book-ending hurricane and tropical storm landfalls with research trips to the Louisiana coast, entomology associate professor Linda Hooper-Bui and her research team have made groundbreaking discoveries in the world of ants.
Because the status of ant populations can serve as an environmental health indicator for the area as a whole, Bui has been able to see just how devastating both natural disasters and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill have been to Louisiana's ecosystem.
Before and after Hurricane Isaac, Bui and her team traveled to the wetlands of Breton Sound, just south of St. Bernard Parish and east of what's left of the Mississippi River that far south.
What they found meant two things: Isaac was more devastating than most people originally thought, and it could take several months before the ecosystem can fully recover from the destruction wrought by the slow-moving system and its massive storm surge.
The ants are missing, Bui said, which doesn't bode well for other wetland inhabitants.
