Came for intelligent conversations with weather colleagues, found remarkable levels of snark, and staying to keep the dream of dignity and decorum alive. Weather radar still fascinates me 📡

This is enraging and near inconceivable to me. We work on replacing NEXRAD, while the comms infrastructure is failing for multiple days!! NWS staff are expected to pull a rabbit out of hat here, once again 😡

For me, this type of long-ish term data tell us more about our changing climate than even large areas of single point record highs across the globe that have become common. 😢 Still, is data like sea ice extent too abstract for those who are in denial?

I recommend this podcast! Evaluating NWS and partner commications for a recent event including discussion of damage indicators. These gents offer critique that is based on decades of experience within the NWS, and a deep desire for best possible NWS performance.

Clovis, NM measured an incredible 5-12"+ of rain in the last 24 hours! Several roads remain closed this morning due to flooding, and the mayor is encouraging everyone to stay home. Remember, never drive through flooded roads. #NMwx

Impressive view of Hurricane Polo this morning (8:41 am CDT on 9/22). Polo is now a category 5 hurricane and is located in the eastern Pacific.

Can you do a trend graph for the 30 year “normals” for the available records? I believe this concept of “normal” is no longer helping our messaging.

In grad school, I had much self-doubt, observing others in class asking questions & appearing to “get” the material. Later, I realized I needed time to assimilate the content into context before I could “get” it. Though now I remember little from the classes, grad school taught me how to think. 💪

Humanity has a long sad history of doing things because we can, with little reflection per the long term effects. With rare exceptions, I avoid AI consciously, knowing it is also hidden to the user. God help us. 😢

Given the resistance and inertia with respect to responsible regulation of AI, I suggest any percentage requires a response. However, I don’t know who are the voices that can break through 🤷‍♀️

I grew up loving the Looney Tunes cartoons, especially Coyote and the roadrunner. Did you have that background as well? If so, did it add or subtract to the experience?

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
Cartoon image of a street with much of the space taken up by a car with a single driver, while the rest of the street has people tightly packed in a bus, a bus shelter and riding bikes in a bike lane. Adding insult to injury, the driver says “damn those bike paths and bike lanes taking all the space.”
