A Babe in the Universe reports on the massive dust storm that is springing up on Mars right now.

This happens just as Opportunity is set to attempt a fairly perilous descent into an impact crater.
Tangentially related, in that they involve Mars, dust, and weather is this cool clip of some dust devils taken by Spirit....courtesy of Space.com

The Puddles of Mars....
Water...possibly liquid water...may have been photographed by one of the Mars rovers!
UPDATE: I've been unable to blog most of this week, but as Stephen Den Beste points out in the comments, this story has been thoroughly debunked by the fact that the "puddles" are at what appears to be a greater than 25 degree angle. See here and here. The stuff may be ice, but it is not liquid water....

Thor was Actually Half Right
DNA in Incan chicken bones indicates that Polynesians were present in pre-Columbian South America.
The late Norwegian anthropologist, adventurer and war hero Thor Heyerdahl had theorized a relationship between South American culture and Pacific Islanders...Though he apparently got the direction of travel backwards (he thought the flow of people was from east to west , hence Kon Tiki) this does give evidence that his observations were otherwise correct.
Go Thor!
