At least so-far this time with pneumonia (my second time) is not as bad as my first time almost 20 years ago when I was a kid.

This is the worst timing to be seriously ill (never a good time anyway). My parents are visiting from NY and we were going to have a big dinner with my family, fiance and future in-laws. My folks have a positive attitude since they think at least they can help take care of me while I battle this.

Out of all the pneumonia symptoms, the one I find the most scary is the shortness of breath. Last night I was huffing and puffing after talking a shower and I was still huffing and puffing for at least 10-15min after getting into bed after the shower.

Dr. Bieda shared an X post from Mark Fox (Meteorologist-in-Charge in Norman, OK) conveying a request for help to major media sources, asking that calls to the NWS should not be about radar interpretation.

Amplifying an important message about what folks SHOULD NOT call an @nws.noaa.gov office concerning radar interpretation during a severe weather outbreak, as #meteorologists at the office are assuredly doing so and it takes time valuable time from such interrogation to warn about actual #tornadoes.

This is an unjust war. This is a war of aggression. Too many will die that didn’t have to.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm ecstatic to announce that I will be joining the UND Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences this fall as an Assistant Professor! This huge milestone is the culmination of a dream over a decade in the making - one that's taken me across 3 (soon 4) states, 3 degrees, and 2 postdoctoral experiences... (1/2)

Just tested negative for COVID-19 so this is likely bacterial walking pneumonia rather than viral pneumonia.

I wish but I'm not eligible since it is only available for seniors.

Curious were the graphics developed in Python or Javascript?

Thank you.

The pneumonia I had back then put me in the hospital for 3 days where I had a 104F fever and threw up everything, including just water. I've never been so sick in my life. The fact that I caught it this early on will prevent me from getting as sick as back in 2006.

Prudance can save a life. I felt GERD-like symptoms with wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain since late morning yesterday. I chose to get checked out. Turns out it is pneumonia in the early stages which now I am getting antibiotics. I almost died from pneumonia when I was 12. [1/2]

Today is SPC's first explicit forecast of significant tornadoes possible (CIG1) in a tornado probability less than 10%. Based on radar data and environment a significant tornado may have occurred in parts of that forecast area. SPC could not have explicitly forecast this kind of scenario previously.

Too often bad actors prey on vulnerable seniors with Social Security and Medicare-related scams.

There is no task in programming that you cannot do. You have multiple languages under your belt, I believe in you!

Those early hominids were still during the Cenzoic Era and thus we are not even close to being well adapted for Mesozoic conditions. Side note - physical anthropology was a huge quirky interest of mine when I was 8-11 years old so that's how I know about these homininae.

Even if that is true, biologically speaking reptiles dominated the planet during the Mesozoic. Once the planet cooled they went extinct and mammals survived. But that being said, even several evolutionary generations back (Austrolopithicus Afarensis "Lucy") and Ramapithicus (one before "Lucy")...

No, it was not Chartz or Maue I was sparring with.

I don't think us warm-blooded homosapiens would fare-well biologically speaking in the climate of the Mesozoic Era. I like to argue not just the science but the real impacts because there is less room for people to try to leave those up for debate.

Sparring with a well-known climate denier on X (I wanted to because I love pissing these people off) and he keeps using the same talking points. These people forget that while the Mesozoic Era was hotter, dinosaur did not have coastal infrastructure and were better adapted being cold-blooded.

I stopped using pygrib a while ago because I like xarray with the cfgrib engine better. Easier to work with and if you want to redistribute the software, pygrib only works on conda and not pypi while xarray + cfgrib works on both redistribution platforms.

Don't most other languages use zero-indexing? I'm teaching myself C# and that is also zero-index. Only thing I used to use that was not zero-indexed was working with GRIB in pygrib.

Maybe I'm biased because when I talk to people whose primary programming is not Python, the first thing they say is "I hate Python because whitespace shouldn't matter." I actually love that whitespace matters because it forces you to write neater code. Plus I always see people indenting in {} anyway

I’m often asked “did you see the storm over X - what’s going on?” I would then scramble to one of the many wx sites to make a sounding. What if there was a site that specialized in soundings?

Look no further…announcing the beta launch of illiniweather.web.illinois.edu/skewt-intera...

Feedback plz!
