Sounds about right.

Everyone abandons me. :(

What's up with the weird void in snowfall totals across southern Iowa and central Illinois? Is that legit or is it an artifact of too few reports from the region?

bums me out kinda bad that all the cool life-saving shit ai was always supposed to do, working through immense amounts of data incredibly fast to tailored ends, has to have a disclaimer slapped on it like "no not the plagiarism machine that urges you to commit suicide" now

The most dangerous thing about my Kindle is that I have no physical limit on how many books I can buy now. 👀

Today's the last day for those leftovers. Eat 'em while they're non-toxic.

Today is the last day of the Atlantic hurricane season. Here's my recap of this year's odd and historic storms: www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Great news, everybody! GMC has invented the Distraction Sheet Pan of Death.

Major Canadian airlines don't expect much in the way of delays this weekend as operators around the world conduct software updates on certain Airbus aircraft.

“I think you’re in my seat”

Get this man in Congress.

I feel like I'm unrecognizable compared to the person I was just ten years ago. (That's a good thing.)

Yeah, yeah. You and me both.

Here's a map of the latest NWS forecast showing a widespread, hefty blanket of snow headed for the Midwest this weekend.

Walmart was a breeze this morning. Nobody there and the shelves were untouched. Happy Tariff Friday, everyone!

Antidepressants

Prepare for travel delays and cancellations across the Midwest this weekend as a major winter storm rolls through the region. Widespread totals of 8-12+ inches are in the forecast.

Bird's in the oven. Parade's on TV. Cool clouds out the window. Day off from work. I just love Treeless Practice Christmas. 🦃

Important safety information for our Canadian friends:

I have so many CDs that I would unironically love to have a Walkman again.

The giant star overlooking Roanoke makes a super satisfying electrical buzzing noise up close. ⭐⚡

I think Mittens is smitten with me.

It's been so long since I've gotten fan mail! It feels like a warm hug. 😊

You know what goes good with that? A hot cup of dirt.

Blue.

This year I've worked up the courage to start dating, go on television, and fly across the country alone. But I still feel like a kid walking to the principal's office whenever I have to email IT at work. 😬

I wanted to be a meteorologist my whole childhood. By sophomore year I discovered I wasn't interested in forecasting or calculus, so I switched to polisci hoping to take up teaching. I wound up landing a gig writing Gawker's weather blog three months before graduation, and the rest is history. ⛈️

What's my best friend's ex doing in England?

"There is no 'plan to save the world' or insane 4D chess game being played." The chamber's top conspiracy theorist rose to power, saw there were no backrooms, and noped out.

Pop-up thunderstorms over the Amazon today. Always love watching them bubble up.

The President of the United States called for the execution of opposition party lawmakers this morning and it's the currently the #5 story on the Newspaper of Record's website. It's just crazy—totally crazy!—that this stuff is just "normal" now.

Pinkies up while eating your Biscoff...OR ELSE.

Ms. Now if you're nasty.

A nice walk on the trail to clear my head before work. 🍂

I've always been interested in Python but I can't seem to find a good resource to learn it from the beginning. I tried using AI a few times to make weather maps in Python. It almost gets me there, but the last step—understanding what it did wrong and fixing it—requires an entire education.

"Illness is a moral failing" is a widespread, unspoken belief in the United States. You see it in businesses and schools punishing people for calling out sick. You see it in politicians and voters unwilling to fund even the most basic health programs. And you see it in statements like this:

I just got excited because the store had no-salt-added green beans. Getting older really sneaks up on you.

I'm a mature adult until the moment I pull into the bulk store's parking lot.

I just realized while writing today's date in my journal that it's the tenth anniversary of the Gawker layoffs. My life is immeasurably better for having had and lost that gig. What a weird career trajectory I've had.

My data speed is throttled to 156 kbps and they're giving me no option to top-up my data or incur overages. It's "deal with it" or "double your monthly bill for unlimited." What's the best alternative to Verizon? I don't play those games.

They won't let me shut off "safety mode," so now my phone is on the speed of dialup until December 1st. Humbling.

I keep thinking about this with regard to the National Weather Service. We're real accustomed to tornadoes and blizzards not hitting by surprise anymore. Don't mess with that.

This is so cool. My friend showed me Bolinas Lagoon from the hills overlooking Stinson Beach. The fault runs directly beneath (and created!) the lagoon. Wild to see it with your own eyes.

I love that I get nonstop ads for random vacations now. Come visit sunny Jefferson City, Missouri!

My doctor sent in the prescription for my ADHD med two weeks ago and the pharmacy still doesn't have it in stock. Great healthcare system we've got in this country.

I got a political science degree and now I'm in my fifth year working for The Weather Network. At least clouds make sense.

I'm sure that'll be fine.

It's currently 92°F (33.3°C) in Tipton, Oklahoma, as is totally normal for November 15th.
