Maybe you run a business and you're trying to budget for snow removal before winter. Or perhaps your business is facing a lawsuit after someone slips on the ice.

This is where forensic meteorology comes into play. Forensic meteorologist Sherilyn Patrick, Director of Forensic Services for WeatherWorks in Hackettstown, New Jersey, is our guest on this week's episode. Patrick talks about her job, the differences between what she does and that of a traditional meteorologist and examples of forensic meteorology.
