As technologies hurl our data into more complexities at dizzying speeds, I’ve come to adore even more the most beautiful score of poetry in our work. Once in a while, we get a call or note, sometimes even a low-tech letter from an adoptee. Friend, me share my appreciation for that with you. 1/n

Tonight I’m once again massively grateful for the Ronald McDonald House. A recurring blessing for so many of us

My work just activated AI tools across the Google workplace. The email one isn’t particularly bright but I’ve delighted myself with “rephrase this as loreena mckennitt” an absurd number of times.

This Friday, July 4th, 2025, tens of millions of immigrants will set forth making America smarter, stronger, safer, cleaner, and more beautiful. This makes July 4, 2025 the same as the 20 thousand Fridays that preceded it.

Fear not, Bluesky. Oklahomans have grown up with the pressures and responsibilities of being the cultural and scientific center of the universe. We will gracefully accept the mantle of being the center of the athletic world.

This is the 30th anniversary of the OKC Bombing. Please let me share a perspective on it. It starts with an Oklahoma geography lesson. 1/n

People who endure my stories hopefully catch the theme that acts of care (caring is an act not a feeling) are generational gifts that grow over time and roll through generations like true love and compound interest. @locoako.bsky.social, this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I have just joined a prestigious and honored club. IYKYK.

April is #CitizenScienceMonth! We're partnering with NOAA-NCEI to celebrate this month dedicated to public participation in scientific discovery and research. FathomVerse utilizes ocean data and imagery managed by NCEI/NOAA to create a hands-on, accessible approach to everyday ocean exploration.

Let me share how the weather helped me today. It’s been a bad week. Today’s weather is post-frontal. Not quite cold. Not close to warm. Windy. Crappy clouds. I went a different way to the Y, where i “work out” with all my fellow oldsters. I stopped to get a Gatorade (also out of routine) and 1/n

Thoughts and prayers to any poor forecaster in GSP trying to do today’s NW flow mountain snow. Imagine giving a twitchy six year old a spasmodic water hose and trying to account for every drop in your yard. Except the kid is sfc winds, the yard is mountains and the water is heavy snow.

Thank you to the good people at #ams2025 for your overwhelming care, concern and consideration for the Asheville folks. Good on you.

It's been 100 days. Helene will be the most damaging inland flooding in US history. We had many distractions since, but the wound is still open. Your help, your taxes, your love, all helped this region cope. But there's a long way to go. Please consider the southern Appalachians. Thank you. 1/n

America, it’s been 20 years. We need to stop the cycle of celebrating our problematic and ugly past. We need to watch a Boise State game without, well, you know …

Update from Oklahoma. My old buddy, named Buddy, is a daddy. 🥰

Hey if you like weather, whimsy, wheat and wind, this here is an account for you: this mesonet is the princess of the prairie, the sentinel of the steppe, the recon of the rangeland. I’ve heard tell that a guy in Asheville named his kid after two of its stations. I can share that story too

Do you like getting the best weather and climate information into the hands of the right people in the right way at the right time to support great decisions? Yeah, so do I. Here's an opportunity for you: www.usajobs.gov/job/821526900

Happy Thanksgiving to immigrants and their kids. You've made America more beautiful, and your kids exemplify that every day. You made a hard decision, and a right one, and you're completely validated in it. You've spread beauty and dignity across the acres that needed you most.

10 years ago, I co-authored a how-rare-was-this-warm-streak paper with statisticians: "Warm streaks in the U.S. temperature record: What are the chances?" I recommended a follow-up article: "Three of six authors were named Peter: What are the chances?" It fell flat. Statisticians: get funnier.

After 50 days of the kind of incremental progress only persistent heroism makes, a breakthrough.

Hey come do cool and vital space weather work at NCEI’s Boulder campus! www.usajobs.gov/job/818146400

This very Wednesday, tens of millions of immigrants will set forth making America smarter, stronger, healthier, newer, and more beautiful than it would have been without them. That is to say, this Wednesday will be like all of the Wednesdays of the last 400 years.

Hello friends. I appreciate the active debunking of multiple conspiracy stories about weather “control” and relief agencies. These injure the vulnerable by undermining faith in the very institutions most capable of helping them. May I share with you something about the word “debunk”? 1/

Hello, Oklahoma, and my old buddy, named Buddy

This Friday, tens of millions of immigrants will set forth making America smarter, stronger, safer, cleaner and more beautiful. This will be make this Friday like each of the last 20,000 Fridays of the Gregorian calendar.

It's the opening days of March. Time for my annual appeal to pause - please, pause - and please, I'm begging you, please consider how conspicuous storm chasing is deeply offensive.

Tomorrow morning, tens of millions of immigrants will wake up, eat breakfast, and set forth making America stronger, smarter, richer, and more beautiful. Just like every single one of America's last twenty thousand Saturdays over the last 400 years.

"Climate City" ... it's catchy; it's true. wlos.com/news/local/a...

Tampa Bay successfully winning through transition from Tom Brady to Baker Mayfield is impressive. One of them is an all-timer, a great competitor and arguably the greatest QB of all-time; the other one had a distinguished career with the Patriots. To be able to win with both is impressive.

Are people nicer over here?

Great audio here. I love that we breathe life into the remains of observations long past, many by people long gone, then people like @kathiedello.bsky.social breathe wisdom and relevance into them, taken up by those who weave them into their lives.

Hi climate folks. Idris is the centerpiece of a story I didn't come to appreciate until a few years ago. If your work helps people deal with climate, her story is a love letter to People Like You. Please let me reshare on the 101st anniversary of her birth. 1/n

Migrating my [otherplace] stuff over here to a safer space. I apologize for some oldies-but-goodies.

This Thursday, tens of millions of immigrants will set forth making America smarter, stronger, and more beautiful. Just like every Thursday for the last 400 years.
