i haven’t drank any water since being in europe and i’ve never been healthier or more alive. running solely on espresso and wine. this is the life.

trying to figure out why my music isn’t playing on my speaker and it’s because I connected to a random speaker belonging to a neighbour in my building. my sincerest apologies to whoever I just blasted the song “Drugs From Amsterdam” to at 8pm on a Monday.

me every time “max velocity” posts weather stuff on the internet

“oh you’re american? I was in america once and i saw people with assault rifles.” me: yeah

Tell me you work with a bunch of CS folk without telling me

this dude is awesome… I went to high school with him. Love seeing my peers live their dreams like I am living mine! newjerseyglobe.com/congress/27-...

my boss, who is not familiar with ERA5 data, when I tell him that the data we need requires 105 TB of storage & that the whole dataset is actually 5.88 PB…

clearly it didn’t work out for you…… :/

my uber driver in Vienna is iranian and he just told me Trump was the best thing to happen to America. when I asked if he had been he said “no bc Trump banned us so it ruined my plans” HELLO????? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

ordered a bloody mary on my flight and it’s 1% tomato juice 99% vodka. Good night.

picking my friend up from the airport & some random guy just got in the back and goes “uber for John?” No john, get the fuck out of my car you heathen!

just landed in Dallas and the first thing that happened was my Lyft driver decided to drive us into a weak tornado 😭

Teaching 20 students weather statistics for free because embry riddle meteorology lets their professors cancel class for 3 weeks without doing anything to ensure their students get the education they paid for. Breaks my heart. Education can be such a scam.

SOS I left my back door open and now there is a cat in my home & it won’t leave. I guess I have a cat now.

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

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
