Mixing sleet now in Baltimore

The most dangerous weapon? A well-informed, camera carrying militia. They’ll regulate that.

1st they came for the socialists, & I did not speak out— bc I was not a…. they came for the trade unionists, & I did not speak out—bc I was not a trade unionist.. they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—bc I was not a Jew… they came for me—& there was no one left to speak for me. —Niemöller

Just watched the Minneapolis video. That is all. We. The. People

Imagine the rage this truck blocked a road rather than a bicycle lane

While I noted that the ice accumulation forecasts have come down some for parts of upstate SC and NE GA, the risks for significant freezing rain are still substantial, just not as extreme as earlier. Latest midday HRRR still showing areas of .75” accumulations in parts of these areas.

I’m content with the gap hire of Mike. Also, be careful of ICE and ice.

Friends don’t let friends share….. 🔥 🥶 🔥 🥶

Beautiful cycling weather….

Happy Saturday, folks

Watch out for ice’s. Pound salt.

I got a request from a reporter about Trump's statement that "what happened to global warming?" w.r.t. the cold event covering much of the U.S. this weekend. Here is my reply.

Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...

The official 2026 snow measuring device is installed. Bring me the snow!

Baltimore officials to enact Snow Emergency Plan at noon Saturday. What that means for road travel and parking: https://www.wbaltv.com/article/baltimore-snow-emergency-snowstorm-jan-24-25-2026/70110848

Maybe you’re the weird one for driving….

My 101 on how cold-air damming (aka "The Wedge") is shaping the Southern Ice Storm this weekend. Features my colleagues John Knox Pam Knox and Bradford Johnson, Ph.D. www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

Winter storm severity ratings... Both CWG and the National Weather Service are rating this a level 4 out of 5 winter storm... because of the prolific output of snow and ice, potential for power outages (esp south of DC) and unusually low temperatures.

At least the idiot-in-chief tweeted about the winter storm?

Welcome to Baltimore But also….🖤💛

Good stuff by experts. Come on boom! #mdwx #dcwx

Towson closes through Tuesday. My first day of class is not for ANOTHER week

Happy 2016 snow anniversary, Baltimore. Record: 29.2” snow.baltimorecity.gov/january-2016

Cold temps. Band of heavy snow. But think the story is going to be the freezing rain. Doesn’t take much to bring down trees and disrupt power. Upwards of 1”+ for some locations will be major.

More salt on the roads in Baltimore City than the salt flats of Bonneville, UT. Don’t we care about water quality?

She’s a beaut, Clark….

Greenland is a lot smaller…. But also, maybe interview a Geographer next time? @slate.com slate.com/technology/2...

Vertical thermal profile will dictate whether we in Baltimore get a lot or a ton of snow…

@repjohnnyo.bsky.social you a no vote tomorrow? @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov

Excuse me while I stare at the water vapor imagery and anticipate this weekend’s storm…

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Models have the snowiest signal we’ve seen in a while -- several suites even hitting double digits for DC. ❄️ Trend: snowier, odds of significant accumulation rising. Caveat: 4–5 days out and multiple disturbances interacting. Still room for a shift. ❄️ Promising | ⚠️ Not locked in | 📅 Stay tuned

Air pollution—a major killer and cause of chronic illnesses—is once again on the rise in America. By rejoining the global clean energy revolution (solar, wind & geothermal plus storage), we can make this scourge a thing of the past and make America healthy again. @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Nowhere says peace like…. (checks notes) Belarus. #Geography

IMO: The best way to protest in 2026 is to cease spending and move from a thing-oriented society….

If you’re sharing snowfall totals 6 days out, I’m deleting you…

Baltimore peeps. Weather permitting, see you @ Monument on Saturday.

The University System of Maryland lost $155 million in funding last year, but sure let’s push money to building a sphere at National Harbor.

News out of Buffalo makes Steelers and Ravens look normal.

Lots of people going to be quoting MLK Jr. today…. Here’s “Give Us The Ballot” m.youtube.com/watch?v=oPre...

Trumpkin’s last night in Richmond’s Governor Mansion. Congrats to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Only took 75 tries and 250 years to elect a woman.

Becoming more and more convinced that whatever the hell is in the Epstein Files…

🚨Publication alert! We conducted a national survey to understand the state of climate services for Tribes and how well they support Tribal adaptation efforts. In short: Tribes are deeply engaged in adaptation, yet relatively poorly served by available climate services. tinyurl.com/yruukhf2

Three years ago today, I boarded a plane to live in Serbia for my Fulbright. Excited to return this summer.

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

Pittsburgh is on the clock…
