being an american in europe is WILD bc someone really just said “americans hold their guns closer than their own children.”

colorado clouds <3

even tho there’s a lot of bad in this world rn… here is a heart warming photo of my dad, a NICU nurse of 28 years, reading to a preemie baby. His hospital does a NICU read-a-thon where nurses read to the babies whose parents cannot always be with them. 💜

me when people come to my house and walk on the carpet with their shoes on

sitting in first class acting like a fucking FOOL… I hit the flight attendant call button 7 times bc I didn’t realize there was a seat screen remote next to my seat and I kept hitting the help button on it with my leg…

tappin into what America has going on & I see “tylenol” and “autism” are trending. and you know what, no thank you. I don’t even want to fucking know!

my friend works as a 911 dispatcher and the Great Colorado air show is taking place right now & the dispatch center is getting flooded with calls bc folks think “china is invading & we are going to be nuked.” everything is very normal these days!

intense hailstorm in Fort Collins, CO! Looks like it snowed! #Cowx

Snow ❌ Hail ✅

the world getting more & more fucked up that i’ve started reading the bible 😭

yea

Heat waves are being amped by climate change AND our forecast models aren’t able to keep up with this rate of warming. therefore they tend to significantly underpredict these large scale / catastrophic events. Extreme heat is so incredibly dangerous & our science is falling behind….

me in Austria checking in on what America got goin on:

happiest of birthdays to my fav research partner / research advisor. thanks for believing in your students and pushing them to do great things. Your guidance and support has contributed enormously to my success & I couldn’t be more appreciative of you. @shawnmilrad.bsky.social 🎉🎉

after stopping the mandate for vaccines Florida needs to change their tourism ads to say: “Bring your family to disney or opt to stay at one of our famous beaches! And while you’re down here enhance your experience by sampling state grown polio virus or measles! Book your Florida stay today!”

one of the best parts about the online weather community is the fact I have SO many friends i’ve literally never met in person before! but if i meet you & you’re weird in person …i’m blocking you.

I accepted a PhD position today & i’m fleeing the country. Goodbye everyone!

The toddler i’m babysitting wanted to drS & the crayons he was using had the crayola tabs w the colour names on them peeled off… & he kept asking me names of each colour he was using and I had no fucking idea how to explain to a 1.5 year old that I am colourblind & im just as lost as he is.

did an interview this morning on teams & I turned my camera on and my background was fucking minecraft 😭😭😭

National Geographic has a docuseries called “Race Against Time” & they feature both Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Highly highly recommend both… I love things like these so that we may never forget the brutal mistakes made in protecting humanity.

currently watch a guy on the plane doing his homework using chatgpt… we are so fucked man

this guy is sitting next to me on the beach yelling into his mic on a teams meeting & i’m really tempted to throw his computer and the beer he’s drinking into the ocean

when i’m not making plots using matplotlib for the colourblind folk…. you can find me drinking on an island somewhere

drinking a mai tai & chillin on the beach in hawaii… doesn’t get better than that honestly

the united lounge bar at DIA hates to see me coming… but at least they remember me here 😎

Even though like 6 ppl live there… Wyoming always has some weird shit goin on. I have no further questions, it must be true.

Of the 40+ major airports in the Southeast US that we examined, Tampa was top-3 in humid heat increases, both during the day and at night. Summer WBGT is roughly 2.5 F higher now than in 1950. It's bad. At least it's a humid heat though. Paper: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

pov ur me & my conservative family members are saying that air conditioning makes “people weak” bc we need to adapt to the heat rather than rely on air conditioning…. but I have 4 publications on how WBGT trends are increasing which prove humans certainly cannot adapt fast enough.

roaming around philly finding cats in the trash! one of my fave past times

wearing open toe shoes in the airport is honestly one of the most disgusting behaviors i’ve ever witnessed.

i’m packing my window unit air conditioner…. probably gonna crash the norwegian energy grid.

å nei, hetebølger har skremt meg!

whenever someone asks me what it’s like to interview with folks overseas, I am reminded of the time I interviewed with Germans & in the first 5 minutes of the call they made a WW2 joke. but also reminded me that things were better now…..

smells like cow poop thx to Greeley but at least the clouds are pretty! #COwx

three things CEOs absolutely hate to see coming: 1. submarines 2. cold play concerts 3. an italian guy named Luigi Mangione

waking up from anesthesia and the first thing i’m worried about is my duolingo streak 😎🇳🇴

me: *recovering from abdominal surgery* my mother: TORNADO??? PLS ANSWER!!!! DOG IS FREAKIN OUT!

what do you do for a living? me: i’m a flood geoengineer & I specialize in cloud seeding.

hey guys! just want everyone to know I recently got my masters in weather control systems. Behind me are the weather control machines that we use to create extreme wx! No further questions at this time. Thank you.

what the actual trash is this

Citizens, the state insurer of last resort in Florida, buys hurricane forecasts from *Global Weather Oscillations*????!?!?! www.insurancejournal.com/news/southea... Climate crowd will need a stiff drink to get through this FAQ: www.globalweatheroscillations.com/faqs

graduated & now i’m getting tf out of CO

As horrible as the Guadeloupe River flash flood was, it was an isolated small scale event. FEMA couldn’t even handle that. Imagine the call volume that’ll be generated (and not answered) when a major hurricane hits a populated area, possibly just weeks from now.

me everytime I tell someone i’m from New Jersey and they respond with “NEW JOISEEEYYY?!?!?”

According Dr. Robert Atlas, the elimination of NOAA's AOML as proposed in their 2026 budget would result in a 20-40% decrease in hurricane forecast accuracy, costing the economy an estimated $10 billion each hurricane season. Sobering numbers on what's at stake.

one of the hardest parts of being a meteorologist is being colourblind bc y’all really love to use the WORST python colour palettes in your paper figures

in middle school we used to have to write up reports on current events happening around the country… and I cannot imagine doing that rn with event topics ranging from devastating floods in texas to nazi robots tweeting abt antisemitism
