WxData reached the 1000 downloads mark on Anaconda today after being released 1.5 months ago. If you need help downloading and processing weather data, you should conda/pip install wxdata. #python #weather #data

This is a sitting U.S. Congressman.... You know he's a Florida Republican before you see he's a Florida Republican. #stupidity

Why is Thomas Massie the only Republican with a spine? Why can't other Republicans think for themselves?

Just ran the entire record for PAFA and while -46F is the coldest high temperature in the past 30 years, it does not make the top 5 coldest highs on record (PAFA records began on 12/1/1929 with only 1 day missing. #akwx #cold #climatology #python

Created a plot showing a 30-year period (1/15/1996 - 1/15/2026) of Maximum Temperatures for Fairbanks, AK (PAFA). The coldest high temperature at PAFA in this 30-year period was actually during this most recent cold snap. -46F on 1/4/2026 was the coldest high during this period. #akwx #cold

The Mets and infielder Bo Bichette have agreed to a three-year, $126 million deal.

Dec. 2025 was a warmer than normal December here in Riverside, CA with 29/31 days experiencing above normal daily average temperatures. 12/11 was the warmest day where the daily average temp was 12.3F above normal. 12/28 was the coolest day where the daily average temp was 2.6F below normal. #cawx

Started teaching myself Julia Language last night. Got a Julia kernel now set up in Jupyter Lab.

Thank you @markey.senate.gov! #BringThemHome #FreeArmenianHostages 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲 #SanctionAzerbaijan 🚫🇦🇿🚫 #SanctionTurkey 🚫🇹🇷🚫

While a Daily Average Temperature Departure of 39.2F below normal is cold for Fairbanks, AK. It does not crack the top 5 coldest days when looking at a 30-year period from 1991-2020. The coldest day in this 30-year period was 45.0F below normal on February 4th, 1999. #akwx #cold

🎉xmACIS2Py 2.1 Released🎉 Released a patch making some enhancements and improving some quality-of-life things to the graphical summaries. See patch notes in screenshot. #python #data #climate #climatology #weather #statistics

Fairbanks, AK is cold but for those who want to know how abnormally cold this period was, here is a graph of the Average Temperature Departures for the period plotted in xmACIS2Py. This period was well below normal with the coldest days more than 35F colder than normal. #akwx #cold

Here is a Maximum Temperature timeseries and a stats table for the past 33 days at PAFA created in xmACIS2Py. Wow! A high of -46F on the 4th of January! #akwx #cold

In my opinion, xmACIS2Py would be a great fun learning exercise for meteorology students and professionals who want to have an introduction to Python. Data retrieval is easy, and there are a medley of analysis functions with the ability to also make graphics of the data. Recommend for beginners.

🎉xmACIS2Py 2.0 Released🎉 xmACIS2Py 2.0 is now on pip and Anaconda with A LOT of new features and updates! xmACIS2Py 2.0 Examples: Data Access & Analysis: github.com/edrewitz/xmA... Graphical Summaries: github.com/edrewitz/xmA... #python #data #climate #weather #climatology #analysis #stats

Fox: Saying anything negative about Charlie Kirk should get someone fired. Also Fox: ...

Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

These people and this "agency" are such a waste of our taxpayer money. Waste, Fraud and Abuse at the highest level. Project 2029 RIFs cannot come soon enough!

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

GOP: "wHaT aBoUt AsHlEy BaBbiT?" Us: "Ashley Babbit was storming the capitol going on offense to hurt other people. Renee Good was following instructions to leave, the wheel was in a position that turned the car AWAY from the agent and her last words were calmly "It's ok dude. I'm not mad at you.""

As a Mets fan: FUCK JOHN ROCKER!

A day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot a Minneapolis mother dead, the Trump administration has moved swiftly to portray the victim as a domestic terrorist and to threaten retaliation against unspecified left-wing groups. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Why I want @govandybeshear.bsky.social @andybeshearky.bsky.social to be the 2028 Democratic nominee and our next president. Andy Beshear wants to revive the New Deal and the legacy of FDR uniting the working-class. #Beshear2028 #Andy2028 #AndyBeshear2028 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfxv...

And impeachment hearings for Donald Trump @joncooper-us.bsky.social

Kevin lives in an alternative reality. It is NEVER ok for masked men posing as law enforcement to fatally shoot a non-violent person. ICE is an illegitimate agency since they hired a bunch of untrained schmucks and gave them military grade weapons.

STATE. SPONSORED. TERRORISM.

At least she outed herself for what she is.

Speaking out is the least they can do. They need to take action, put pressure on Republicans and then investigate the shit out of them once they retake the house after the midterms. Forceful statements are weak when a rogue dictatorial regime is in power.

I don't want to hear about "waste, fraud & abuse" from Donald Trump, Elon Musk, DOGE or any Republican ever again given they defunded our science agencies and use OUR tax dollars to extra-judicially murder our fellow citizens via ICE under the guise of "Immigration Enforcement." #AbolishICE #RIFICE

ICE just extra-judiciously sentenced a non-violent woman to death. ICE is not the judge nor the jury.

Noem, Bovino and all ICE agents acting unlawfully should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law in 2029 when the next Democratic administration is sworn in. We need Project 2029 and implement massive RIFs in ICE the same way Trump RIF'fed science agencies with Elon Musk and DOGE.

This is the reform I choose to focus on because I believe it will help with all other reforms. It's now Day 7 of writing my Congressman, Tracey Mann, every single day until he changes his mind about uncapping the U.S. House of Representatives. #projectnocap

Let's take a poll (Comment with your vote down below): I'm a Python Developer with a concentration in meteorology, which programming language should I learn next and why? (To supplement Python or introduce my work into a new ecosystem?) A. Julia B. C# C. Java D. JavaScript E. TypeScript F. Other

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Released a quick patch today. Noticed a new issue arising with the parsing of the observed sounding data from the University of Wyoming. The issue is now fixed in WxData 1.2.3. #python #weather

WxData 1.2.2 Patch Released. There are compatibility issues with Python 3.14 and the pip version of eccodes. Solutions are in the patch notes and documentation. I strongly recommend installing WxData via Anaconda for users who utilize this in Python 3.14 environments. #wxsky #python #weather

Had an amazing trip to my "old home" of Long Island, NY and 2026 is already the best year of my life on the 1st day of the year. Now it is time to return to my "new home" of Inland Empire, CA.

I just had a thought: The people who say "stick to the weather" only say it because they disagree with you and have zero argument for their case and use "stick to the weather" as a filler phrase.

Such a naive statement. People have valid concerns about this after the disaster of Bush in Iraq. How long will we be there to "run" the country? How many troops? Did we destabilize the region so now the cartels take over? What is the exit plan? Nation building doesn't work.

Nope, Trump's invasion/regime change/occupation of Venezuela isn't an extension of the Monroe Doctrine. That's just a bull crap rationale. This is straight up imperialism. They can sugar coat it all they want but we're not falling for it.

Happy Perihelion! ☀️ Today is a big day for our little planet: it makes its closest approach to the sun of the entire year! This point in the orbit is called #perihelion. Then, on July 6, it will be at its most distant point in its orbit, which is called aphelion.

SHE SAID YES! 1/1/2026 💍❤️ #Engaged #HappyNewYear

I have a good feeling about 2026. Got some major personal plans soon (stay tuned) and I think the GOP will be decimated in the upcoming 2026 midterms in a blue wave year.

2025 was meh overall. On one hand I enjoyed my first full calandar year with my gf (we started dating in June 2024). I also really enjoyed the river cruise on the Rhine and seeing Europe for the first time (first time outside of NA). On the other hand I hate the GOP and everything they've done.

Happy new year! Now let’s go win the midterms.

2025!

Project goals for 2026: 1) Learn and become proficient in a new programming language (Julia, C#). 2) Integrate WxData into FireWxPy, xmacis2py and PyClimo. 3) Resume and finish shapeography. 4) Integrate shapeography into FireWxPy and PyClimo.
