14 years of U.S. weather in 33 minutes, set to Beethoven
From Open Culture: "This video packs 14 years of United States weather (1997–2011) into 33 minutes, presenting a total of 120,900 individual frames, each spaced one hour apart. And they're all set to Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat Major. If you want to get right to the drama, we recommend jumping to the climactic 27th minute."

Wellll, I love Baycloven as much as the next person - I mean, he led us into the Romantic (my) era, and I'm forever grateful. For me, the hi-speed weather watching just doesn't work with that. I would mute the Piano Concerto and crank up some early swing, like maybe Fletcher Henderson's "Wrappin' It Up"

(and by the way - Henderson's band was probably the first to really swing, so much so that later on, Benny Goodman used Henderson's book to swing his own groups), or "Moten Stomp"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVuumYTnfTQ
or Louis' Hot Fives and Hot Sevens; that kind of thing.

If you're feeling less energetic, maybe some good old Satie.

But that's just me.
Hey, maybe some Wagner.
