I recall seeing this once in early 2019. Pretty neat! Also, February and March is the most likely time of the year for this to happen since March is the coolest month in Bermuda since their temperatures are driven by the SSTs.

It can happen sometimes, though very rare. You need a deep cold pool aloft behind a strong cold front to provide enough depth of below freezing air to allow for precipitation to remain frozen to the surface. There is a shallow above freezing layer but it isn't deep enough to melt the droplets.

Sunday 9:57 am: Snow pellets briefly mixed in with rain showers in Bermuda, temperatures entirely below freezing in the clouds which were in the saturated air between 5,000’ and 10,000’ altitude. Winds gusting as high as 71 mph, reached 43.9F, just above the record low of 43.3F

Since I never watch football I don't have any loyalty to an NFL team on those grounds. I'll never forget that in 2020 during the Artsakh War, the Patriots were the only sports organization across all sports to raise awareness and money for Armenian refugees. That being said, GO PATS! #GoPats

Azerbaijan Sentences Former Karabakh Leaders to Life in Prison Azerbaijan sentenced Armenian leaders of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic to life in prison at the end of trials that followed its military seizure of the breakaway enclave.

Azerbaijan’s illegal detention and sentencing of Artsakh Armenians are an affront to international law and human rights – and confirm that Azerbaijan has no interest in honoring its peace agreement. 🧡

If Trump wants to slap his name on something, I've got a couple landfills.

But America's most important infrastructure project needs to move forward.

Trump doubles down on taking over elections, as outrage builds "Trump is using the federal government to weaken our democracy, and he has escalated his attacks in his second term,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said. β€œHe will not succeed.”

@padilla.senate.gov (D-Calif.):

β€œTrump wants to control election outcomes because he knows his party can’t win on their failed policies and disastrous track record. We’re not going to let him.”

My neighbor who is a big Trump supporter was telling me about Trump Rx and I told him "I'd be cautious if I were you because this administration isn't helping people economically, they are defrauding them." My stance was not a shock to him because he knows I'm very Democratic politically.

It really sucks that the first American President and/or Vice President in history to visit Armenia will be JD Vance. This administration does not deserve to be welcomed there because of them helping Aliyev force Armenians to give up their sovereignty for TRIPP and having Oz pull that stunt in LA.

I don't know much about this. All I know is his storm chasing vehicle is called "The Dominator" but otherwise I don't know anything else.

Unfortunately Tigranakert Bakery in Van Nuys looks temporarily closed on google so my fiance and I are meeting up with my sister and brother-in-law today to go eat at an Armenian bakery in Glendale because it's likely all Armenian businesses suffered after that bullshit stunt pulled by "Dr." Oz.

Since most folks don't use the other platform, here is my reply thread to Reed. We shouldn't give pseudoscience a platform. We should stop the spread of misinformation.

I'm not sure if something like this exists already, but seeing how there is a chaser summit, it would be cool to have a summit for open source software in meteorology/climatology.

A Nov-Jan scorecard for the Colorado River Basin using ERA5 Reanalysis compared to all other Nov-Jan periods. Seems sub-optimal.

Azerbaijan's plan to sentence Armenian hostages to life imprisonment is a deep injustice. Following the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Artsakh, President Aliyev continues to show a blatant disregard for human rights. He must uphold due process and release these hostages now.

I love sharing tips and tricks with meteorologists who are just starting to learn Python. I still consider myself a beginner too but it is fun to teach how to code in Python and about various meteorology related packages out there.

How do I determine public vs. private in Python? Unlike Java and C#, Python does not use keywords such as `public class` or `private static void`. To make a function or class private append a `_` at the beginning of the function: public_func() --> _private_func().

06.02.2026 13:42 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

For those of you wondering what is the difference between public and private, public means a function or a class can be accessed globally in the package. Private means it can only be accessed inside of the module (file).

One thing I am going to be doing to the Python packages I've created and maintain is changing all the classes and functions running in the background from public to private. This will clean up the drop down menu when the user looks at functions in a module using tab completion.
