#SNOWSCAPE sunset…after a good day in the snow playground of the Wasatch ❄️

Rain, rain, go away…let’s get some snow today! #SNOWSCAPE

Good morning Utah! I’m baaaack (scanning) 😁! FROPA-ed and looking at the precip ❄️💧#SNOWSCAPE

Radar-determined Intense Tornado Frequencies, Wind Profiles, and the BEST Tornado Study A summary of the recent presentation by Joshua Wurman (University of Alabama Huntsville), and Karen A. Kosiba, entitled “Radar Determined Intense Tornado Frequencies, Wind Profiles and the BEST…

A powerful tornado swept over Greenfield Iowa in 2024, causing widespread damage, killing several people.  DOWs captured 300 mph winds! House-by-house comparisons of DOW winds vs damage & videos of turbine collapse allow better understanding of tornado winds vs damage. Link 👇

You are welcome Utah ⛷️…we brought you some snow ❄️😁

Good morning Snowbasin Utah ⛷️!
I am just a DOW in a field getting ready to look for some snow ❄️😃!

DOW Jenga* takes work 😁! …And what piece to remove 🤨 so you don’t lose 🤣?(*adding wood just provides some extra support for long deployments)

What’s greater than a salt lake? Me at the Great Salt Lake 😁 looking for snow ❄️

After the Storms The Propagation, Evolution, and Rotation in Linear Storms (PERiLS) project—a large collaborative effort by researchers supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Oceanic…

Want to know more about what people are learning about tornadic storms in the southeast United States?
Of course you do 😁!

Everyone is all excited about a ball drop on NYE…but let me introduce you to the antenna drop 📡😁!

Home for the holidays 🏠…before heading off to our next big adventure ❄️☃️!

Good morning, Nashville 🥶!
Excited to show off 🤩 and talk radar, tornadoes, and all sorts of weather at the Tennessee Computer Science Momentum Expedition 😃

Thanks @ncar-ucar.bsky.social and everyone who came out for a Superb Super Science Saturday!! Until next year 😁. (And don’t forget to fall back tonight…unless you are a mobile radar and use UNIX time 🤣)

It’s going to be a thing 😁…#DogsOfDOW
🐕📡

Super Science Saturday bonus 🎁! @ncar-ucar.bsky.social has a library…with books…featuring young me 😁!

It’s…Super!
It’s…Science!
It’s…Saturday!
Head to @ncar-ucar.bsky.social for a DOW-riffic good time 😁! And…there are stickers 😁

@ncar-ucar.bsky.social Super Science Saturday isn’t just for humans…🐕 #DogsOfDOW

20 years ago today, I intercepted my 7th hurricane eye as Rita made landfall near Port Arthur, TX. Led by Joshua Wurman & @kakosiba.bsky.social, I parked on a bridge to stay above the surge and mapped the intense winds: doi.org/10.1175/MWR-...
Ready to intercept landfalling hurricanes this fall!

Good morning San Diego 😎! If you are at #EsriUC2025 and haven’t come to visit me yet…why not?! But, you still have time! Come chat about mobile radars, severe weather, and how we use mapping to help us do our missions…all my favorite things!

Hellooo KC 😎! I am in my reserved parking spot (s) 😁…and ready to talk mobile radar 📡 and severe weather 🌪️🌀 with @ametsoc.org Project Atmosphere!

Can I be in 2 places at once?
Why yes, I can 😁. Excited to be in KC for @ametsoc-radar.bsky.social Project Atmosphere to talk severe weather and mobile radar technology my favorite topics!)…and, of course, see what I look like before years of chips & gummy bears coat the interior operator cab 😁

Are you going to be at #EsriUC2025?
Good news…so am I 😁! Besides admiring my color coordination…come learn how mobile radars are used to study fires 🔥, hurricanes 🌀, & tornadoes 🌪️! See how we are using ArcGIS to help us find radar sites to get the best data possible in these high impact events!

End of Season, ND
Radars, Mesonets, Pods out 🎩
So happy to have been part of the @nsficechip.bsky.social field phase! After 24 IOPs…now the work begins 😁

Scanning hail-producing storms in North Dakota for @nsficechip.bsky.social…some dows get hail (and a rainbow!) and some dows get structure at their location

Some people pay extra for this view…so much better than some human twins are radar twins 😁

Scan. Scan. Scan. Scan. Sample. Sample. Sample. IOP21 of @nsficechip.bsky.social underway in northern Nebraska.
Mini COW (COW2) data at: svr.guru/data.php?id=...

North Dakota or South Dakota…why choose? Dows & Cows scanning storms in western Dakotas from Buffalo, SD through Dickinson, ND with @nsficechip.bsky.social

Tuesday's Weather Was Crazy and Dangerous AGAIN in Montana Montana and Wyoming had another day of dangerous weather on Tuesday. Alerts and Advisories. High winds, lightning, and hail have damaged areas in both states over the last several day.

Montana noticed me 🤩
