“Tristan, I can tell you that every man I ever envied when I was a boy has led an unremarkable life. So you don't fit with the popular crowd. Now, I take that as a very good omen.”

NYC public schools: Tomorrow (Mon 2/23) is a full snow day —no remote learning, no logging on. Our first real snow day in seven years. This blizzard is serious. Stay inside. Travel ban 9pm–noon tomorrow so crews can keep streets clear. After the worst passes, bundle up and enjoy the snow — safely.

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

The Harding Icefield feeds dozens of glaciers across the Kenai Peninsula. Looking down on Exit Glacier from the Harding Icefield Trail. I wrote more about this hike and the landscape here: lwpetersen.substack.com/p/harding-ic... #alaska #glacier #hardingicefield #hiking

A pretty good show last night.

Sea ice extent in the Bering Sea has decreased 20 percent in the past two weeks due to frequent storminess/south winds. Dramatic weather pattern change is imminent with colder air & north winds poised to return, so it's quite possible the maximum extent is yet to be reached. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

The average sea-ice thickness around the North Pole continues to set monthly record lows (according to the PIOMAS dataset). Each line represent one year from 1979 (blue) to 2026 (red)... note the trend 📉 More views at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Very lucky we are in the neap tides where the moon is with a 90° angle with the Earth and Sun. Currently a waxing crescent. The storm surge from the up coming nor’easter won’t be as bad. Images below courtesy of NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, NOAA/National Ocean Service

Weather technology provides ample time to prepare for big storms like the one expected in New England today and tomorrow. This saves lives. If you are in a vulnerable area it's still not too late to prepare so you are not caught off guard. Stay safe out there! www.cnn.com/webview/weat...

Congratulations to the U.S. Men’s and Women’s hockey teams, Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Mikaela Shiffrin and all the amazing Olympic athletes representing Team USA.

Epic morning of sky watching in the Bay Area 1. Lenticular clouds at sunrise 2. Kelvin-Helmholtz instability 3. Lenticulars over the North Bay 4. Snow-capped Diablo Range

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Saturday. Very mild Bering Strait northward to the North Slope, with a daily record high at Utqiaġvik. Cold from the eastern Interior eastward into the Yukon Territory & lower Mackenzie River valley. Also chilly in the Bristol Bay region. #akwx #weather

Props to Tom for using the WSSI map here. Impacts, impacts, impacts. (and good luck with the storm, Tom)

This really is a great picture:

Wearing my ⁦@teamcanadaforever.bsky.social jersey all day today, honouring the superb athletes who competed on the world stage & made us all so proud. I especially loved seeing their parents, emotion on their faces showing the years of work & our shared humanity of hopes & dreams together.

Wow didn’t realize we haven’t won gold at Men’s hockey since 1980. Definitely a deserved win even tho I rooted for another team. Very proud of American athletes even tho I’m not proud of my own country in general. Still lots of good folks representing and fighting for the United States.

Jack Hughes supports LGBTQ+ inclusion He speaks here about Pride Night hockey games "We really support [Pride Night]…With how we grew up, my family really supports that too…It wasn't even a thought about not doing it for us." #lgbtq #hockey #JackHughes

–– Jack Hughes playing through an injury and scoring the golden goal is such a display of tenacity and determination. Hellebuyck was the real MVP though, the Canadians were relentless. History was made for US hockey this year 🥇🥇

Team USA’s men’s ice hockey team won gold as Jack Hughes scored in overtime to beat Canada 2–1 at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan on Sunday (AP photo). It’s the U.S.'s first men’s ice hockey gold since 1980. Here's a throwback shot by Stars and Stripes photographer Red Grandy. 🇺🇸🏒

Hellebuyck is a Helluvagoaltender.

It seems like we may be connected to the large coronal hole currently facing Earth now as the solar wind is now blowing at nearly 600 km/s. We reached G1 minor storm conditions last night with some minor mid-latitude auroral displays over the northern U.S.

2/9: As the mid-Atlantic now has a week of above freezing #temperatures in the forecast, there is quite a bit of #seaice and #snow to melt. #Thaw

Strong winds caused the Ranger Road and Stevens fires to experience rapid growth across the Oklahoma panhandle and into southern Kansas, seen this afternoon by the JPSS weather satellites. The Ranger Road Fire, the larger of the two wildfires, burned over 15,000 acres today.

The Anchorage Intl Airport hourly observation remarks noted aurora (AURBO) 5 different hours overnight. Due to the fencing around the airport, they will never observe a moose though.

As the East Coast blizzard begins to wind up, we take one last look at forecast expectations for the event from the snow to the wind to the coastal flooding. It’s going to be a doozy. Details below or at theeyewall.com.

NYC has over 100 step streets — many in the hills of the Bronx — and NYC DOT works hard to keep them safe. Grateful to the crew at the DOT Brush Avenue Yard for walking me through their salting operation as the first snow starts to fall. Public service in action.

We haven’t seen a storm like this in a decade. Some parts of the city could see up to 28in. 

Please, stay inside if you can and if you see someone on the street in need of assistance, call 311.

Thorsten Margis wins 5th gold medal (4 w/ Friedrich, 1 with Lochner) to become the winningest bobsled athlete of all time.

The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.

12:12 PM EST, 2/22: #NorEaster begins today with heavy #snow, 40–70 mph #winds, and #BlizzardWarnings from NJ to southern #NewEngland. Travel may become dangerous to impossible. Coastal #flooding and #poweroutages are possible. Stay #WeatherAware! #WinterStorm #WinterWeather #WinterWx

My years long dream of photographing a moose with aurora finally happened. #MissionAccomplished

Some nights, the aurora doesn’t just glow. It takes over the entire northern sky. On very active evenings, the boreal forest feels small. The trees become silhouettes under something vast and constantly moving. #alaska #auroraborealis #northernlights #borealforest

While a cold front is moving South, record warmth continues in Mexico and Central America. Hottest February night in history in Belize with a Minimum of 26.4C, at Hacienda Ylang ,Mexico with 24.4C and at Pavas Airport (West San Jose),Costa Rica with 21.0C.

#stunday morning momentary beatitude. #eastcoastkin #snowbird #zen #breathe

By the way, a reminder on Jack Hughes, since the grifters are already trying to hijack his postgame interview www.vogue.com/article/meet...

Johnny’s kids 😭

For Johnny ❤️🤍💙 #MilanoCortina2026 #WinterOlympics

Heartbreaking finish this morning. Team Canada left everything on the ice in an incredible gold medal game. Across Courtenay–Alberni and Vancouver Island, people were up early cheering together. Thank you to every player who wore the maple leaf with pride. You inspired us all.

I like how I’m an American and I’m upset we won the Men’s Ice Hockey lol I mean I root for all the athletes but as an American not really feeling patriotic about my country anymore. Kinda wish I was Canadian. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hoc...

Proud of Team Canada and proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦

Congrats to our Boys 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Despite the gold medal loss, Connor McDavid is the MVP of the #MilanoCortina2026 Olympic men’s hockey 🙌
