Everyone knows it's not cool to drink and drive, but rounding up a designated driver can be a drag. Now it's becoming surprisingly hip to hand over your keys to a stranger on a scooter. On New Year's Eve, for instance, some 350 Coloradans caught a lift with NightRiders, a designated-driver service that safely deposits the inebriated--along with their cars--back home after a big night out. The company, like others popping up across the country, relies on collapsible scooters small enough to fit into a backseat or trunk to get its employees from...

Conversely, when stratospheric temperatures cool, strong winds at the surface discourage cold air from dipping so far south. Already, the AO's clear connection to the stratosphere is giving weather forecasters a predictive edge. It is also providing fresh insights into the climatological consequences of everything that affects the thermal profile of the stratosphere, from...
