I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

Fort Collins number of days with TMAX >= 60°F, December through February. "Fort Collins has recorded 38 60°F days this winter. Previous high was 22 (1980-81). The remaining days in the month are all forecast to be 60 or above (five more).

@rschumacher.cloud on a state call this morning, talking about the crazy warmth we've been experiencing. The number of days Fort Collins has passed 60°F this winter, far surpasses any other winter!

The fundamental premise behind AI-enabled cheating is that coursework is merely busy work, because your'e just doing it for professors.

We would never say that showing up for football practice is merely busy work because you're just doing it for your coaches.

I wonder if companies making these things realize that we are just going to stop using technology in the classroom…

Map of CoCoRaHS 24-hour snowfall observations on the morning of February 23, 2026, around New Jersey/NY/CT. It shows several observations of over 20" of snow.

The same map, highlighting one of the observations on Long Island that says "Gauge is buried under snow drift. Can’t get to it. Average depth of snow 19” "

storms like this are where CoCoRaHS observers really shine. There's truly no other way to get this density, quality, and richness of snowfall data!

REQUEST: I am looking to speak to an avalanche expert for a story about the Castle Peak avalanche in California's Sierra Nevada. I am located a few miles from the incident location and am hoping to get some background information about avalanche danger.

Any recommendations appreciated!

🙋🏼‍♂️

Heading to the UK (mainly Scotland) in June for a fun trip - accepting any and all recommendations of places to visit and things to see!!

This bromeliad plant has been growing for what has to be two years. It is FINALLY starting to bloom a beautiful flower that will likely last for a year itself. What a fun plant to watch grow

The NCAR supercomputer facility transfer was announced a month before the NSF deadline to reply to a Dear Colleague Letter concerning, among other things, potential transfer of the same facility. The DCL is no more than a vacuous, performative gesture to make us feel like we have a say. #SaveNCAR

It has now been 31 days since the rain started here in Reading, and it has rained every single day since; the previous record of 23 consecutive days has long been smashed, with daily rainfall records going back to 1908.

me, interacting with every tech product I must use daily now:

Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.

Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

Would be awesome…but my bet is Walker

That should about do it! #GoHawks

Soo…kicker for MVP yeah?

Nobody is even TRYING to get into the end zone
