Today’s view of the Absaroka Mountains of Montana, with my dog staring at a cow in the distance.

Grok apologized. Furby grieved. Magic 8 Ball opined.

per preliminary data from PRISM, it was the warmest October through December period on record for the majority of Colorado. In many places, by a large margin (e.g., here in Fort Collins it was 2.4°F warmer than any previous Oct-Dec). #cowx

These dewpoints last night were not seasonal

🔥🔥🔥 December 2025 temperature ranking (since 1895). A lot of the West had their warmest December on record and nearly everywhere out west had a top 5 warmest December. 🫠

We’re now in the second quarter of the 21st century. Let’s get it together, shall we?

They Might be Giants always coming in clutch

Happy ten o'clock!

Other time zones are hitting the new year before I am. 2026 already off to a rocky start

I STRONGLY CONDEMN 2026.

Goodbye 2025, hier nochmal mit einem Rückblick auf das Highlight des Jahres vor der Kameralinse :-)

NYE exclusive: Rare ultra-wide view of the Bingham, Nebraska tornado and cut

I've been busy and also admittedly away from this side of social media, but I'm hoping to fix that in 2026. However, here's to the past 365 days and all the photogenic adventures I experienced! Happy New Year everyone! #photography

Outlook for the new year ...

Happy New Year

Large glacial erratic along a gravel road in Iowa, photo by Jim Knox, 1967. I think this is one of the "Giant Boulders of the Iowan Drift" (titled of an obscure older article). This is on the Iowan Erosion Surface, an area of Middle to Early Pleistocene glaciation that was the subject of much debate

Remembering 2025: There's something magical about undiscovered gems. The serenity of having the whole place to yourself.

Dang

Remember this?

Hard to sort the wheat from the wheat.

I was considering doing a year-end compilation thing, but man, I have way too much good stuff

Since SPC isn’t on BlueSky yet, I’ll share these fun “Wrapped”-style graphics here. Here’s a look back at SPC product issuances in 2025. Stay tuned for a more thorough review of the severe storm season coming in the new year.

Why the small collection of tiny Colorado glaciers is on the east side of the divide: 4x

Just something that happens here and nobody notices

It's beautiful

The rare wave, asperitas, fallstreak/supercilium combo

Some guy in the comments section told me they’ve been warmer.

This is not good!

Month-to-date temperature departure from normal. Now 2.9F above normal. This same map a week ago was exactly normal for the month-to-date temp.

I don't know much about trees, but winter buds protruding this far out in December seems weird

Oh you know, randomly gusting to almost 70mph now, just because
