Is there really an argument for a 3-loss team that, in their last 4 games, lost to the team they’re now to be playing in the playoff, needed a borderline miracle to beat unranked and not-bowl-eligible Auburn, blew out a bad team, & then lost by 3 touchdowns to another playoff team yesterday? Lol.

A year ago yesterday (thanks @donkeydownburst.bsky.social for reminding me), Colin and I found ourselves gobbling up some Jet's pizza along the shoreline of the UP of Michigan. Our original intent of the trip was to photograph fall colors, but the night skies definitely stole the show. What a night.

1 year ago about right now, @charliekruschek.com & I were sitting in my car, eating Jet’s Pizza while we awaited the next auroral substorm on the shore of Lake Superior. Over the next 3 hours, we’d get a few substorms, several portfolio shots, & the most serene experience of my life. Volume ⬆️. (1/2)

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Really though, the best tool we’ve found for lightning trends is looking at the -10C level for 40dBz+

Ron is pleased that the decorative pumpkins have returned.

Imagine being Craig Counsell and making the exact same mistake two times in four days.

Democracy Dies in Deli Meat.

It’s really dumb that the rules say you have to have 9 guys in the lineup. Puts the Cubs at a huge disadvantage. Not much enjoyable about this team these days.

The NWS is doing a test run of using Bluesky. www.weather.gov/media/notifi...

It’s a nice vlog. I guarantee it.

The dichotomy of FanDuel: Someone out there probably bet Schwarber to be MVP. Schwarber didn’t do shit during the game, but then that bettor got the life preserver of the year. Someone out there also probably bet Alonso to be MVP and is now preparing to self-immolate, lol.

Fire Dave Roberts.

Historically, the period of week of July 13 (with the exception of 7/13/2004, which wasn’t a real day that existed) has been a great week for me, with tornado anniversaries on the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 19th and other good non-tornadic storms. None was better than this one, 5 years ago today.

If this proposed budget comes to fruition, it would be devastating for the weather and climate enterprise and a threat to the safety and security of the American public

Looks like someone paid attention to @donkeydownburst.bsky.social’s #alwaysbackside instructional video!

A happy Chugwaterversary to @donkeydownburst.bsky.social

eciN/Nice.

I’ve been chasing and seeing things. I just leave the posting to my chase partners.

GOOD MORNING BLUESKY I GUARANTEE TODAY WILL BE THE #NICEST DAY OF THE YEAR

Two weeks ago, I was down in Missouri with @skydrama.bsky.social and @donkeydownburst.bsky.social looking for atmospheric anger. I finally cooked up some footage from that day and created this little video. If you've got a few minutes, feel free to check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqji...

In June 1956, 18-year-old David Hoadley borrowed his parents car in Bismarck, SD and set off to look for thunderstorms and tornadoes by himself, without computer forecast models, without cell phones, the internet, or even interstate highways. Today he announced the end of his stormchasing career.

Happy German Shepherd Day to all who celebrate, such as Autumn.

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, the night skies across much of the Northern Hemisphere lit up with colorful auroras. In Wisconsin, this was nothing short of a life-changing experience. Here are two of the many timelapses I shot. ✨ #photography #aurora #borealis #northernlights #timelapse #wisconsin #May10

“Bobby P from VC, you’re live on the SCORE.”

First, satellites do not replace radiosondes. Radiosondes are the ONLY way you can get measurements every 15’ through the atmosphere. Second, services HAVE BEEN disrupted. Missed balloon flights is a disrupted service. Offices not open 24/7 is a disrupted service.

Just a few of my favorites from the past couple of years. Happy Earth Day, folks. 🌎🍃 #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #nature #naturephotography #earthday #sonyalpha

For #TornadoTuesday, here's my shot of the 6 June 2007 Kyle, South Dakota, tornado taken from inside Badlands National Park. We had to pay admission to see this tornado!

The radar that the City of Durant invested in for storm surveillance is already paying dividends - the radar perfectly sampled a tornadic storm that moved through the area near Madill #okwx

The NYT wants you to think universities became dependent on government. This is false. The government invested in the national research infrastructure by competitive grants to universities. The taxpayers built this. It got us to the moon. Won the Cold War. Created Silicon Valley. Made the McRib.

The elevated mixed layer has learned its lesson. By @donkeydownburst.bsky.social and Susan Collins

The government isn't doing universities a favor by channeling federal funding through them. It's using a private entity to realize public goals, to accomplish things that benefit the entire nation. You'd think conservatives who call for privatization all the time would grasp that.

SEENT IT

I don’t know whether to be honored or upset. #Nice to be remembered, I suppose.

@rsanders.bsky.social Bochy looks more and more like Andross every day. That is all.

In honor of the total solar eclipse one year ago today, here’s a picture my iPhone believes is the eclipse!

Todd Golden is already stalking the portal.

This is due to the fact that @shawnmilrad.bsky.social has no choice but to LIGHT HIMSELF ON FIRE!!!! (cc: @paulythegun.bsky.social)
