Beast of a supercell heading into West Virginia with a huge TBSS and sidelobe spike.
These are so good. You're super talented and I love seeing what you come up with!
Impressive EFI signal this far out as well.
Oof. That’s really bad. Social media really brings out the worst in people.
You're probably not looking for one... but if you are... The Rest is History is amazing.
Oof.
That is a good point. Thanks for responding!
I was shocked at how often the atmosphere was so easily pumping out beautiful dendrites day after day after day. Certainly wasn't upset about it!!
@professorpowder.bsky.social Just returned from 5 days in Niseko and I was astounded at the snowflake quality (and the skiing!). Does the presence of sea salt as ice nuclei from the Sea of Japan in any way improve snowflake/dendritic production?
I am heartbroken for my NWS colleagues today.
Working in the weather field is a calling many of us feel in our bones. We are drawn to the power and beauty of the atmosphere and joined in a desire to help and serve others.
To everyone affected, I am sorry.
Thanks Darren!
What a look ❄️
High probability for excessive snowfall rates later this evening. Up to 2" per hour kind of rates around midnight for parts of Connecticut. Not a big storm but most of what we get will fall in a short window.
I can’t believe it took as long as it did!
That's a fantastic (stratospheric) sounding!
Wow - 74 knot gust at Shannon (EINN) METAR: EINN 240330Z 23051G74KT 5000 -SHRA FEW018CB BKN023 07/04 Q0967 NOSIG
Storm Eowyn is a beast tonight as it heads toward Ireland.
Yeah I was watching it leading up to the event and it struck me as odd and I couldn't find any explanation in the ECMWF literature.
We were talking about this the other day. What's with SOT of zero in the southern zone? Is it because M Climate for 24-hour snow is 0" near and south of MSY so SOT isn't computed?
The Florida state snowfall record appears to have fallen.
From Molino, FL.
Passed along by NWS Mobile.
Wild!

The northern mismatch makes sense I think... most members but the ones that do show something extreme. The southern mismatch I think is an issue with M Climate = 0" so it's not computing a SOT?
Not sure how often such climatologically extreme scenarios happen - record-setting <942mb low off Ireland contrasted with a record-setting >1064mb high over Kazakhstan this coming Friday:
Yeah it's weird to see Houston with an EFI of 1 and SOT of 0. Seems like it must have to do the M-Climate for Houston for 24h snow being 0"? Maybe @alexlamers.bsky.social has an idea.
What's the deal with the displacement of the high SOT values from the higher EFI values? Like the EFI >8 in N LA with EFI <0.5?
Just incredible. Congrats New Orleans!

Whoa!
NBC LA on the scene as a skilled nursing facility is being evacuated ahead of wildfires. Stretchers, wheelchairs, oxygen tanks (!), etc.
Awful
