If there was a textbook for Mares’ Tails, this would probably be in it.

The Giants are going to make almost $500 a person on the 9-dog, 9-beer, 9-inning challenge.

Also on the topic of songs… I heard Pearl Jam’s cover of Last Kiss this morning on the way to work, and it got me wondering: What is the saddest song out there?

Those southwesterly winds are making it feel very springlike, but where the winds are coming off the lake, it's not making it out of the 40s.

If you see this floating around, no this is not what the night sky from Mars looks like.

It's a good time to think about xeriscaping: landscaping for low water usage. Unfortunately, too many Coloradans think this means "I'm going to fill my yard with pond pebbles and be done with it. No, that's zeroscaping. Improve your yard the right way. extension.colostate.edu/resource/xer...

As I've said before, this is going to be perhaps the best movie with a meteorologist of all-time.

Friendly reminder that LLMs are often just making shit up.

Wings need to make some changes this offseason. Move Yzerman to some emeritus position and bring in a new GM. Maybe Drapes? Why didn’t we bring in another top-tier center at the deadline? These March collapses need to stop. We were so spoiled in the 90s and early 00s. Bring that back.

It’s Tsunami Awareness Week. If a tsunami were to occur in Wisconsin, there would probably be bigger things to worry about. You are now aware of tsunami.

I hate LinkedIn.

Do you like music? Do you like Wisconsin weather? Do you like those things mashed together? Come see a concert in April that takes Wisconsin weather data from Wisconet and turns it into music! music.wisc.edu/event/earth-...

Go fast and break things is one thing when it's a computer coding start up. It's another thing entirely when it's a rocket launched nuclear reactor.

Not a fan of this, I think it's too messy. Change my mind.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

FWIW absolutely no one I know who has expertise in spaceflight or planetary exploration thinks this is either remotely plausible or a good idea to attempt on such a timeline. The dominant reaction is somewhere on the spectrum between mockery and dismay. Real, important science was cancelled for this

This is news?

The National Weather Service is funded at 1.46 billion dollars this year.

If you missed our roadshows this winter, we’ll be hosting a virtual one next month! Register: climatology.nelson.wisc.edu/events/extre...

Today is World Meteorological Day, which commemorates the establishment of the @wmo-global.bsky.social. This year’s theme is “Observing today, protecting tomorrow”. Fitting that our journal article showcasing Wisconet as a case study for building a weather station network got accepted today.

🤢

One of my favourite facts is that the spiky tail of a stegosaurus didn't used to have a specific name, until Gary Larson published this Far Side cartoon, at which point "thagomizer" was adopted by paleontologists.

Astonishing. The goal of our war is now to undo the effect of the war we started. Gosh, if only we could rewind to, say, four weeks ago when the Strait of Hormuz was open and normal!

Wait, what happened to the 80 years of good will around the globe that we have carefully nurtured? Oh yeah, never mind.

Are these 90s streetwear essentials @dieworkwear.bsky.social?

To say it’s a little cooler today than it was yesterday is an understatement.

Through yesterday, these are the major climate stations that have recorded a temperature this month that matches or exceeds their April monthly record. 🔥

Every day I’m learning about some new scheme to try to make money and it’s just another indictment on our society.

My keys? Black. My Crowes? Also black. But my stripes? My stripes are white.

I believe that @radiofreetom.bsky.social has a whole book about why people would rather get their weather information from grifters instead of actual meteorologists. As for why there are a surprising number of meteorologists who think we have to welcome this change…that’s a whole other story.

My dead? Grateful.

Just trying to understand how 90 with 6% humidity and gusts to 30 mph (Loveland, CO) is nicer than 75 with 35% humidity and gusts to 15 mph (Hancock, WI).

Mix of “No Report”, “Flight Equipment Failure”, “Ground Equipment Failure”, and “Any reason not listed above” listed as the reasons for no flights. Take that for what you will.

So the northeastern two-thirds of Wisconsin was worse than fair today? That’s news to us.

We can only hope

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

‼️First 80° & highs 20°-30° ABOVE average for March 21. 🔴Excessive, Wisconsin warmth made at least 2x more likely at this time of the year. 🗣️In other words, there's a STRONG fingerprint of climate change on today's unusually early-season heat

We’ve hit 80° for the first time this year! 🥵

Taste the rainbow.

What I wouldn’t do to live in a remote part of the country where people aren’t ringing my doorbell.

Ok yep. Thats really real. Was wondering how unhinged it would be and it didn’t take long to find out.

Seems bad.

It’s time for the final battle of The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.

Everyone get excited! #NWAS26 is headed to Omaha in October!

Busy week for the Wisconet team. - Co-hosted the first Wisconsin Climate Services Summit - Visited the Wisconsin DNR Forestry Health team - Got some potatoes at the Hancock Ag Research Station - Did a site visit at Iowa County Airport, where we’re going to install a temporary weather station.

One of my favorite things to do is look knowingly at some landscape and saying confidently, “Geology.”

Chuck Norris didn’t die, he defeated earth and moved on to the next level.
