Watching TDWR data during the summer is my favorite nerd activity. Gravity waves, boundaries, HCRs, it’s all so interesting.

St. Louis response to snowstorm leaves residents saltier than their frozen streets St. Louisans sound off on the difference between “passable” and “clear” roads.

St. Louis is mad mad
But this kind of weather event might be our new norm. 🥲

I'm unfortunately going to miss this, but if you are sick and tired of being talked at during #AMS2025, this is a great opportunity to share your insights and think outside the box as folks from both research and operations come together in the weather water and climate enterprise!

A sign of being on the verge of 30: being ecstatic over not shoveling the snow until later so the sun can help you out 🤣

Heading to #AMS2025? Don’t miss the WRN Symposium!

I’ll be speaking at 9:15 on Wednesday on the deep disconnects between the NWS and our most vulnerable communities. It doesn’t have to be this way.

(Also, a brief preview on the new NOEES. IYKYK)

I’m 2/2 on not being called for jury duty! I have nothing against serving, but this one would’ve been super inconvenient.

An odd one this time though, they didn’t call a single person. Very interesting!

While I pine for the days where I was in striking distance of lake effect snow, I’m grateful for any flakes (especially whatever we get from that FGEN band on it’s way down I-70). 🤤
