The Lions having possession of the football for less than a minute the entire 3rd quarter is a wild stat. Live look at the Steelers offensive strategy this game:

Yesterday was an exciting day for the Cermak family. @kelcerms.bsky.social and I are thrilled to welcome a baby boy in June 2026! #BabyCermak #ItsABoy

Sure I can still derive the Navier-Stokes equation from memory. Here, see for yourself.

Not on my bingo card today was Santa in the back of a pickup driving through a snowstorm to wish the whole neighborhood a Merry Christmas two weeks early over a loudspeaker. No other cars. Not a parade. Just one pickup and a presumably very intoxicated Santa.

BREAKING: Terrible news for Big Stagnant Air

All it took to win the Big 12 was for Oklahoma and Texas to leave! #RaiderPower

The bathroom situation here is equal parts fascinating and bewildering. A room with just a toilet? Sure. A room with just three sinks? Why not. A room with two bathtubs and two sinks? Let’s go.

midnight shift: issues areawide winter weather advisory day shift (me currently):

This was such an awesome experience, especially for an av geek like myself, and I am so happy I get to say I was there when the new Pittsburgh terminal officially opened (and played a part in the process!)

I don’t always enjoy midnight shifts, but an overnight deployment to Pittsburgh Int’l to support their EOC during a transition from an old terminal to a brand new one? Yes yes and 100% yes. Nerding out over here.

Where’s my $10,000 bonus for working two holidays and a 9 hour shift during the time change while we were shut down?

It’s very very easy to say “KEEP FIGHTING, COWARDS” when ur pay isn’t being held hostage.

What is this oversaturated slop doing in my discover feed

I can’t even begin to describe how demoralizing it is to work not knowing when my next paycheck will be, only to see those who can actually do something about it take recess while getting paid and saying shit like “See? You don’t even notice a shutdown because the govt is broken” to constituents.

The modern baseball lasts an average of 2.5 pitches before being taken out of play forever. In the pitch-clock era, it's astronomically shorter than the shortest lifespan of anything in the animal kingdom. http://dlvr.it/TN8MFK

There are a lot of NWS positions now posted on USAJobs. Come work with us! I guarantee you'll have a tough time finding public servants more passionate about the work they do. www.usajobs.gov/search/resul...

Did I just catch AF1?

That’s a little strange. Some sorta survey or something I guess?

Anyone know what this is / what caused it?

This week I’ve been participating in a phased array radar testbed and I’ll say this: if this agency does ultimately choose to fully invest in PAR as the future of weather radar, that future is certainly bright.

No take-backsies, sorry.

Took three months but the Pirates finally did something right

In other news, I officially bought a #SellTheTeam shirt today.

30 minutes into my shift and I have to go on air with a local radio station and say the words "people in Pittsburgh don't need to worry about tsunamis"

If you have time to kill and want to know what a pre-environmental protection era was like, Google the 1948 Donora, PA smog incident

whatever the opposite of @shawnmilrad.bsky.social is, probably

The Pittsburgh Pirates are an infuriating baseball team.

This storm is entirely CGs. Giving me major Mobile flashbacks. @backinblackwx.bsky.social @morganabigail.bsky.social

Well this isn’t ideal, especially given the largest annual festival in Pittsburgh is starting today with storms possible and a heat index > 90F.

I was generally pleased with the responses I heard from Dr. Neil Jacobs today. With this administration and a Republican supermajority, he really was a best case scenario for NOAA Administrator these next few years.

How I feel about today.

Death, taxes, and the HRRR initiating with convection then immediately killing it for no reason.

We tell people to curb as much outdoor activity as possible during heat waves like this. Meanwhile in Major League Baseball:

We had the most amazing asparagus soup at a local restaurant the other night. Today, walking through the store, @kelcerms.bsky.social goes “I’m gonna recreate it” and then proceeds to totally wing doing so. Let me tell ya… 🤌 11/10 highly recommend. I don’t even care that it’s 90 degrees outside.

Me: forecasts highs in the mid 90s Also me (walking outside): wow I didn’t know it would be THIS hot

“The United States bombs Iran and that’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos…”

Chernobyl happened in 1986. Just sayin.

Catastrophic flash flooding one week, heat wave the next. I strongly condemn the weather this month.

Only realized today that this shift was my 10 year NWS anniversary.

Spent 13 hours at our county EOC today providing support to the EMA during the U.S. Open. From peeks of sun causing the WBGT to spike in the pre-storm environment to spectators waiting until rain has started to seek shelter when they could see it coming 20 mins in advance, it was a challenging day.

watching a live stream of local news in Lubbock on YouTube and you can’t hear the on-air met because the sound of hail hitting their roof/building is too loud 👀

I’ll believe this when there’s a 21 page article published in WAF supporting it.

This was a super enjoyable build and I am pleasantly surprised by how durable it is for being so thin. Included a retractable nose and gear, and working flaps/rudder. #Concorde #LEGO

Yesterday was the best birthday I could possibly ask for. Thank you @kelcerms.bsky.social ❤️ Here’s to 35! Officially closer to 40 than 30 😳

you can see P00P every day at the ballpark if you're a Pirates fan

Daboob?
