#ams41radar Welcome to the 6ix!

This is who runs this account

The program for the @ametsoc.org @ametsoc-radar.bsky.social 41st International Conference on Radar Meteorology has been posted! ⬇️ ams.confex.com/ams/41Radar/... We are not moosing around 😁… this is going to be a full week of 📡 Really Awesome Discussions And Research 📡 😁

Several ridings in the GTA have #CPC signs deliberately blocking #LPC signs. This is not helping the cons’ cause, not that it would anyway. #cdnpoli

And submit your abstracts by this Thursday! #AMS41Radar

Extension, eh!

I’ve hosted a pressure sensor managed by a Raspberry Pi at home for the last several years. The Toronto network has just been decommissioned, but not before some good science was produced. Great collaboration within and with my team. #OnWx

It’s below freezing but it’s also sunny and getting towards the ends of March so

@cssl.ca merch withstands severe weather, at least a good dousing #onwx

Have you heard?! The @ametsoc-radar.bsky.social 41st International Conference on Radar Meteorology is going north this summer to beautiful Toronto! Weather (and geese!) knows no boundaries! Abstracts are due by 3 April 2025. More info here: www.ametsoc.org/ams/meetings...

If you pick a fight with your best friend, maybe you’re not acting in your own best interests.

Once again, Ontario has sat on the couch instead of voting. Given how Doug Ford has “protected” us so far, I wonder if we’ll have an Ontario left in four years.

Friendly reminder! Submit an abstract, and come show the strength in our weather radar community. #AMS41Radar

Doug Ford is Pacific Mall Trump. He’s gutted education, healthcare, and given away our money to his buds: Ontario Place, Science Centre, Greenbelt, LCBO, Service Ontario. He’s only “protecting” Ontario from Trump so he can continue plundering it for himself. Completely untrustworthy. #onpoli

Vote splitting will kill Ontario, but can be avoided to effectively ward off Ford and his band of self-enrichers. Check your riding. #onpoli smartvoting.ca/ontariodashb...

Legislating against something that doesn’t exist means they can take credit for a 100% success rate.

This is heartbreaking. Instead of other countries deciding to stop working with a bad apple, the apple (who is really a good one) is telling itself that it’s actually bad and is now causing itself and others to rot. www.wired.com/story/noaa-e...

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Call for papers is out, and the abstract submission portal is open! #AMS41Radar

Superb thread! I overheard a podcast with some finance bros discussing how important it is for the US to build new nuclear power plants to support the push for scaled-up AI. They further emphasized that a key to keeping costs down would be to relax regulations on nuclear power. Say what? 1/4

Auschwitz is 80 years in the past and closer than it has been at any other moment in our lifetimes.

Some representation of scale and direction, along with a legend with unit or category explanation, always.

I recently started actively perusing Bluesky after a year of social media fatigue, and I’m excited to find how civilized it is. Thrill issue.

Pinching myself. I never thought I’d see the day when I would publish in Science, but here we are. It’s a fun study, and I’m glad my 🇨🇦 colleagues and I contributed to it. #WxBlueSky #Wx www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Give a talk, get a hoodie. Last week was the launch of the Canadian Severe Storms Lab at Western University. Now there is a third SSL in the world!

Weather radar network replacement in 🇨🇦 is officially complete. It’s been, and continues to be, an amazing experience! ow.ly/K3mx50QUlKQ

Beautiful morning at @secretsofradar.bsky.social. Worth a detour.
