What's the awful almost-typo you frequently almost-do, but catch before sending that email? Mine is typing "busy" but accidentally hitting the "t" next to the "y" to make it "busty" (e.g. "It's been a busty week").

This is such an embarrassing time to be an American. Every headline worse than the one before it. Worse of all, this was an easily predictable result of electing Trump.

If it helps enhance the happiness of the moment, Stephen Miller went to Duke.

Bump ⤵️

Alternate headline: Republican justices seem skeptical of allowing people to vote on or before Election Day.

This is why people hate Duke basketball. Regardless of the skill disparity, opposing teams of lesser name cache are routinely just not allowed to try to win against them in March Madness due to call disparities. There's a reason my bracket is called "2015 Championship Truther". 😂

Every #MarchMadness: CBS: Yo, for your viewing pleasure, for the next minute we're going to switch to the most random camera angle possible, where you can't tell what happens and have no depth perception. And we'll do it at random a few more times this game! Enjoy!

The cold front that swept across NY yesterday afternoon & evening was extremely impressive. This animation of 3-hour @nysmesonet.org temperature change highlights the pre-frontal warm-up followed by the dramatic cool-down, where some locations dropped 30F+ in 3 hours! #nywx

Those for-profit phone calls are going to go just great if this counts as "NWS Confirms". <narrator: it was not>

I spent an hour this morning going through tabs on my browser, such that if I maximize the window AND hook up my laptop to a larger monitor, all the tabs fit on the screen. #springcleaning

Thought provoking thread here. Regardless of your position, probabilistic intentions + deterministic outcomes are a messy combo. Also, an opportunity to "brag": Ethan is one of our meteorologists at the @nyswrcc.bsky.social. I love that we have people this passionate about weather communication.

With melting snow and ice, alongside some rain and warming temperatures, we're seeing numerous river rises leading to some flooding. Did you know our website has a community stats page (nyswrcc.org/community-stats)? There's ~168K people and ~63K residential buildings in a flood warning in NY.

An easy way to alter the implication of a story is improper use of the passive voice (vs active voice). Once you see it, you can't unsee it. There's been countless examples from the Israel-Palestinian war. In this @nytimes.com example, "Slurs" should have no agency. They exist, but they can't act.

Fun with @nysmesonet.org data + topography: Today we saw an unusual pattern where temperatures warmed 20-30F in just 3 hours as of 11AM, confined exclusively to the Adirondacks, with basically no change elsewhere. By 2PM, this resulted in the #ADK being much warmer than nearby lower locations.

If NY really does set 4 (!) new county snowfall records, that is an *extremely* rare occurrence!

Guys, this map appears to have busted. The 15"+ ranges across eastern Long Island were too conservative 😂

This should go in the map hall of fame.

This severe thunderstorm warning, and associated plentiful cloud-ground lightning, is *just* a bit outside SPC's general thunder outlook. Like, 3 states away outside. 😅 #nywx

Lol, of course.

#Badgers absolutely robbed by Big 10 refs there. Shameful.

If you're still at #AMS2026 and looking for something to see this afternoon, I'll be presenting progress we've made at the @nyswrcc.bsky.social at the 1st Annual Disaster and Emergency Management Symposium, at 2:15 in 352A. Guest appearance by NY Governor Hochul (sort of).

The radar correlation coefficient at 1.5km nicely highlights where the transition zone is between sleet and snow. The brighter zone north of #NYC shows where sleet and snow is likely occurring at the same time, and since they look different to the radar, the correlation is lower. #nywx

For those attending #AMS2026, you'll note there aren't nearly as many NOAA/NWS folks as normal - largely driven by the impacts this administration has had on our field. While perusing the many private company booths, recall none of the big players did so much as issue a press release in opposition.

If you hear some quiet sobbing in the distance, it's definitely not coming from me, who will be missing what is likely going to be Albany's best snowstorm in 5 years.

The democratic infrastructure in Nevada seems to have cratered in Nevada since Harry Reid retired. In a very likely dem-leaning environment, even a poor candidate would likely have been a tossup again an incumbent republican justice. And the courts are arguably the most important bulwark right now.

This is just so embarrassing. -Machado, a Venezuelan, wins the Nobel Prize -Trump overthrows Venezuelan president -Machado gives Trump her Nobel Prize, because she wants to be president -Trump says his threats to conquer Greenland are because he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize (that he now has)

This is what being a #Packers fan does to you.

That result was so predictable, this was my text conversation with my dad *at halftime*. So incredibly predictable for any #packers fan watching MLF struggle in situations like this over and over.

It's super easy to trace the Mohawk and Upper Hudson Valleys in terms of electric outages, via National Grid. FRAM flat ice estimates from @nysmesonet.org data show peak totals of about 2/3". Thankfully the freezing rain should stop soon in NY. Outages out west are due to 60+ mph gusts. #nywx

Erie County (in NY) & its adjacent waters are currently under *EIGHT* different active @nws.noaa.gov products. Complex storm! Land: -Winter Storm Warning -High Wind Warning -Flood Watch -Flood Warning -Winter Weather Advisory Water/shore: -Lakeshore Flood Warning -Storm Warning -Gale Warning

The #Packers are 0-3 in games where they never punted, and one of those was in OT. Basically statistically impossible.

"Its [sic] CaLlEd WiNTeR" had been activated on Twitter.

I'm pretty sure the "leave cookies out for Santa" thing was invented by dads like me who stay up late and want a guilt-free reason to eat cookies at bedtime. #Christmas

Hard to calculate how "impressive" it was for the #Packers to lose tonight, if all you knew was they: -Had 5 redzone trips -Never punted -Only had one turnover -Held opponent to 6 points through 58 minutes Pretty much impossible to lose with those stats, but the Packers were "skilled" enough do it

The potent storm moving through tomorrow will produce two different strong wind threats: first from the south/southeast ahead of the front, followed from the west behind. Multiple directions = more damage potential. The purple spots show unique gust/direction HRRR combos relative to its history.

When people asked in spring what the Trump cuts would mean for NOAA, my general answer was: "You probably won't notice anything in the NWS forecast. What we're likely losing are the subtle research advancements that translate into big operational developments in ~4 years." This keeps that on track.

Well, I guess it's better than a polar vortex economy?

I'm shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.gif

For those who say the #Packers get all the calls, I present this first half home game with the division lead on the line. Yikes.

This morning had mid-winter cold temperatures, aided somewhat by good radiational cooling from fresh snow in much of upstate NY. Before last night, the coldest @nysmesonet.org temperature of the season was around 0F. Old Forge got all the way down to -19F. #nywx

Here's a summary of the weather for the rest of the morning and afternoon. The greatest impact from this storm is potentially hazardous travel.

Live look at the @nypost.com trying to post a competent weather story:

There are so many accounts like this that just follow as many people as possible hoping some of them follow back. The latest follower is Mr. "Ziplok", who has this incredibly sad post as his pinned post. #cringe

As a #Packers fan, I hope the #Vikings realize how amazing McCarthy is and give him as many years as possible to fulfill his potential. 😂

I love these timelines that the @nyswrcc.bsky.social team puts out in scenarios like this. If you're traveling for Thanksgiving next week in/near NY, keep an eye on the weather.

Meanwhile, in NY:

Storms like this highlight the influence terrain has on (winter) weather in NY. With low pressure across the Southern Tier, the ADK acts to channel flow down the Mohawk and induce cold air damning in northern NY. Meanwhile, higher elevations stay warmer. Classic icing set-up for northern NY. #nywx

I love following election results in Maine, because you get hilarious precincts like this. My favorite part is the ">95% of the vote in" estimate in a 3 vote district.

I've never seen a World Series where both teams were so allergic to scoring runners from 3rd with fewer than 2 outs.

I want to acknowledge that the hurricane hunters have been working relentlessly and in dangerous conditions - *without pay* - to do their best to help other countries (in this case). I wish some in our federal government had half the dedication to public good and fellow humans.
