if someone is willing to pay for the products, i'd be willing to purchase these items, deconstruct them, and give them to expert tailors, shoemakers, and craftspeople for review. i will also see if i can track down the factories. i would be interested to know if these items are made in the US

Must be nice to be wrong more than half the time and still keep your job.

No.

Oh hell no.

Our Wisconet journal article has been submitted for review.

Here's the latest update about the potential for snow across southern Wisconsin this weekend. Snow accumulation of less than an inch is most likely, especially with the soil temperatures still well above freezing. Bigger story: cold with single digit wind chills Sunday and Monday.

IT’S EXTREME WEATHER NIGHT! See you soon at The Rigby!

No doubt you've heard there's a chance of snow this weekend across southern Wisconsin. We're not going to put up any forecast totals, but it doesn't look like a big accumulation event right now. The bigger story will be the cold: our first real winter-like weather this weekend.

The voting has opened for @nwas.org elections - vote now through November 21! I'm excited to say I'm a candidate for the Board of Directors - hopefully I get more than my vote, but it'll be tough since I'm running against the incomparable Kim Klockow McClain!

I mean...look at the Badgers record. And the way they're playing. Only one team has scored fewer points in the FBS: UMASS. Coupled with the fact that it's Wisconsin, and yea. There's going to be a lot of beer being sold.

I didn’t see that this came out a few weeks ago, because of how busy my October was…but here’s a new good documentary on Netflix: Who Killed the Montreal Expos? www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0J6...

We love the “super network” of ASOS, AWOS, RAWS, and Wisconet stations. It provides a very high resolution view of the weather across Wisconsin. All told, it’s close to 200 stations that have almost every acre of Wisconsin land within 20 miles of a weather station.

58 airport weather stations are going to go offline - primarily in North Carolina and Maryland. While each state has mesonets (ECOnet in NC and the Maryland Mesonet in MD), mesonets should supplement the existing surface observation infrastructure. That's what we're doing in Wisconsin.

Rude of stores to play Christmas music today, in the heart of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Season

Mild temperatures, low relative humidity, and gusty winds are leading to elevated fire concerns today. Even though the fuels (grasses, cropland, brush) aren't too prone to catching fire, worsening drought will make them more susceptible. Be careful with open flames.

Science communication has never been a strong suit of mainstream media.

In this article and the broader discourse about a possible “cat 6,” I’m fascinated by the dichotomy between the climate-centric scientists who are largely in favor of a cat-6 and the tropical cyclone-centric scientists who largely aren’t. (1/3)

Just imagine what things would be like if we were planting more native species in yards, along farm fields, along roadsides, near energy infrastructure, in office spaces... 🌱

@climatologist49.bsky.social this should stock you up for a while

Does anyone have a video of the Great Gingko Leaf Dump? It looks like the gingkos in the neighborhood dropped theirs this morning.

Campbell needs to rip these guys apart this week. This kind of game out of the bye week is never acceptable.

No, it is decidedly unnatural to wonder if bananas are actually good for you.

Thick frost out there this morning. A combination of yesterday’s rain, the overnight temperatures in the 20s, and - especially over southern Wisconsin - dense fog allowed a thick layer of ice to form. High wind gusts expected over northern parts of the state - the Gales of November are here.

If this is what the CFP ends up being, this season needs to be declared null and void.

Three games left: Bama Mizzou LSU I can’t see us winning out…especially with our offense and terrible QB play. But do we somehow stumble to a 9-3 record?

Sidearm whip and it gets picked off. Shocker. What a horrible QB.

Tate Sandell is 4-for-4 with field goals of 55, 55, 51 and 40 yards tonight. Per the legendary Berry Tramel, the OG of Oklahoma sportswriting, just now in the press box, this has been the greatest night by a kicker in Oklahoma history.

This first half

Get Stoops off of the Sonic commercials and pay him absolutely anything he wants.

This team is so hard to watch

If you ever needed a reason not to have a streaming service, this is probably the world’s worst streaming panel.

We’re probably going to see a shortened MLB season in 2027, but there are two things baseball needs: 1. Salary floor 2. Salary cap Hate on it all you want, but it will be better for fans, players, and owners if those two things are put into place.

And look how far we’ve come since then! Thousands upon thousands of observations each day around the world…but still so many more observations that we could be taking.

I’ll be mentioning the Fitz in my Extreme Weather Night presentation for @uwbadgertalks.bsky.social on Wednesday at The Rigby!

The story doesn’t say which parts of the seismic network are going to lose funding, but a lot of the stations in Alaska also have all-in-one weather stations attached to them. This could mean an even greater loss of weather data across Alaska.

Make sure to stop by the ranch dressing fountain at the end of the driveway after you leave.
