You should see SW AK.

Good morning from the Hurricane force system off our SEAK coast. That was a fun overnight shift. 🫡

Hurricane force low, the 4th storm in less than 2 weeks for SE Alaska. Fall is so back.

With silt-caked hands, University of Alaska Southeast researchers Eran Hood and Sean Fagan climbed steep rocks to peer into an empty Suicide Basin, hours after the Mendenhall River had crested below.

First thought for AAR: I may be in the minority here, but even as someone who uses noaa.gov sites daily...the tsunami.gov page is not the most user-friendly experience to navigate and get actionable info.

Hey, #WXsky, NOAA/NWS is soliciting comments on the potential use of Bluesky for disseminating information. You can take the survey right here www.surveymonkey.com/r/PrototypeN...

WHERE WAS GONDOR WHEN THE DOW JONES FELL??

Trump's decision to revive the McKinley name for Denali, North American's tallest mountain, is "a slap in the face of recent efforts to acknowledge America's history of colonialism and restore Indigenous place names," Cassidy Randall writes in a guest essay.

Tomorrow night we'll be hosting a Q&A to talk about school & careers in meteo - particularly as it relates to this very weird & challenging moment. Stopping by are @shawnmilrad.bsky.social, @mattlanza.bsky.social, @lucerowx.bsky.social, & others. 3/12 @ 10pm ET in discord: discord.gg/9aS7WVJ8qH

Putting a plug out there for an incredible weather app (EverythingWx) that was developed by Cory Mottice (Warning Coordination Meteorologist at NWS Corpus Christi) It’s ad free, pulls information directly from the National Weather Service, and has a beautiful design! apps.apple.com/us/app/every...

I will mourn the day that our knowledge, research, and passion in the Weather Service is ever disposed of in favor of that used for the gain of a business or individual. I kept my job today, but I will miss everyone else who was motivated by the greater good of all people.

The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government. Read more: bit.ly/4gRiHAk

I miss you.

When science becomes politicized, scientists have to talk about politics. Telling them to focus on the science is not productive and won’t get them to do it.

remember friday? that was ten years ago

If you’re an NWS met who will find themselves unfairly and unjustly looking for work, first let me say it’s terrible and wrong. And I hope you end up back helping keep us all safer and informed again sooner than later. This too shall pass (I hope).

Palate cleanse.

To meteorology students or future students: Do not let anything happening right now put out your fire to pursue your passion.

Hello 2025, that was memorable.

Fairbanks snippets, I'm still thawing out.

Yeah, the cabin was a good decision.

Booked a last-minute dry cabin stay before a small winter storm pushes through Fairbanks for my "weekend" before the holiday shifts. Beyond ready to get snowed in with my Kindle & Steamdeck backlogs.

We were a little busy on the day shift today.

I will continue to stand with women, minorities, LGBTQIA+, and any other marginalized groups in the NWS. I will serve my oath faithfully, to protect the lives and property of the people of the US, until they throw me out of the damn building. I'm ready to face whatever consequences come. Fuck it.

Chick-fil-a TV ads in Alaska. Just brutal man.

Another glacial outburst flood event comes to a close. Very thankful for no major impacts or flooding this time around. Now I'm hopeful we won't have to worry come spring of an "early" season major release.

Releasing the new Drive to Survive series right before the new F1 season starts is just such good marketing. 🤌

just alittle cool this morning in Anchorage

I’ve been using the new SpotifyAI DJ this string of overnight shifts and I gotta say, I’m impressed. It played my favorites, introduced new similar songs, easy to swap categories, and I discovered a couple new bands and entirely new genres 🤘definitely recommend IMO
