No context needed, just a bitty
Trying to find storm reports in social media amidst a sea of people just screencapping radar images is certainly something
Thunderstorms make me happy.
Figured timelines could use a sunset photo.
Took this walk while on the evening shift the other night. The NIFC campus is a good restorative break use.

Fantastic news for the 68.8 million Americans that speak a language other than English at home.

National Weather Service employees were encouraged to take early retirements at an all-hands meeting Thursday. The union believes as many as 1,000 could leave in the coming months - out of a workforce of just over 4,000.

Being an A&M fan truly is a life of hardship, but it’ll lure me back in. Time to root for softball
Another week of midnights in the books. Gotta figure out better habits when I’m working them.
Been writing long term AFD sections for a few shifts now. Issued first TAFs today too. Inner geek in me very proud.
You’ll can make it, you’ve already made it this far. Can’t give up
I’m keeping a running upperair observation status page on my website.
I have additional metadata like reason for degradation, degradation type, when the degradation began, etc. In a coming update you will be able to read those things by clicking on the site.

Two more radiosonde sites down for the foreseeable future, and in critical areas we need them at SPC 😑😔.
Gotta let the gym folk know I’m just a humble nerd trying to get some gains too.
I truly need to, there’s just all negativity. There’s people in our field that I respect deeply and they still primarily communicate there. I wish there was a big push for the good crowd to get out.
