Here in SLC, we have been locked in a low stratus cloud (image 1) keeping things cool and damp. You can leave this gloomy day by a quick travel up one of the canyons (image 2). Local ceilometer shows the clouds in bright blue/purple/white (image 3). Sounding to round out the deep dive πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

I’m glad turning it on and off fixes many problems because sys admin on orbit sounds like a wild job

Some interesting views from low earth orbit of the effects of Melissa on land/ocean. Check out the brownish ocean color near land in the second picture. Sediment runoff

Reiterating the noise canceling headphones if you can. Makes it feel much more relaxing and ambient to stare out the window with some of your favorite music. Also helps hear any movies you watch on the plane without volume maxed. My wife and I also do compression socks on > 3 hour flights

Not many insitu insturments can record this type of speed. Even the radar folding would be nuts

FWIW CIRA folks have been doing a bit longer analysis (I think a couple more years) and the story is the same wrt googles model doing well

Ever wonder what the second-wettest 24 hours on record in Salt Lake City looks like? A strong shortwave passed through on Saturday, delivering a rare all-day rain and dropping 2.39 inches at the airport!

Yeah… the Jackson + Henry combo is nuts, especially when the team has been drafted and built to defend the pass

Down 9, gotta try for as many points as possible. More trust in Josh and the offense than the 41 year old kicker we just signed
