👀 where does that precipitation measurement rank for NDAWN daily totals???

Had my first project terminated… except it was part of a larger project and my component’s end date was within two weeks of the new termination date and the supported student defended one working day earlier… Maybe should go play the lottery…

Stick to UFOs Gallaudet…

There have been claims that NOAA/NWS did not foresee catastrophic TX floods--but that's simply not true. This was undoubtedly an extreme event, but messaging rapidly escalated beginning ~12 hrs prior. Flood Watch mid PM, "heads up" outlook late PM, flash flood warnings ~1am.

My view from the back… of course it got going in the dang state forest 🙃

Já - Giving a webinar this summer with inlus.org - apparently they have online learning groups!

Oops… wrong day, I’m referring to Mulvane :)

Sounds familiar… our storm by McPherson fizzled. Saw a hook echo on the portable TV being broadcast and said heck with it… punched the storm from the north and ended up seeing a couple of ropey tornadoes by Rock, KS.

Not so faint in North Dakota… summers up here are getting tougher to enjoy…

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Mmm, today we imaged tumbling blueberry hail and drop breakup resembling a heart @nsficechip.bsky.social

Excellent!

😬

Hey @ametsoc.org, does this abide by your code of ethics? What about their 90 day forecasts with specific temperatures?

Congrats!!!

100%. The crappy part is my request had been hung up on signatures at my institution for weeks…

*by my PM... it's late in Iceland

FYI, was just informed from my NSF PM that a memo was sent out this afternoon that effectively prohibits them from processing supplement requests for the rest of FY25.

Opposite of leave no trace… 🙄

Peaceful ride around Mjóifjörður with two geothermal pool stops!

I can still feel the nasal test. Worth it!

Bodies of missing aid workers found in Gaza ‘mass grave’ following Israeli attacks | CNN The bodies of more than a dozen aid workers have been recovered in southern Gaza from what a United Nations agency described as a “mass grave,” a week after they went missing following attacks by Isra...

Oh my fucking god.

It looks like Israel murdered eight Palestine Red Crescent Society workers, a UN employee, and five civil defense staff.

They crushed up and buried entire ambulances and civil defense vehicles in the fucking mass grave.

There's still time to apply for a NSF Unidata grants to help you purchase hardware to support your Earth Systems Science project. The application process is easy, and the deadline to submit your proposal has been extended to April 7, 2025. www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/e...

Why is the object ID code going slow... oh.

A fire burned through our Lake Carl Blackwell Mesonet site around 3:41-3:45pm. One of our thermometers measured a 1-minute average temperature of 173 F at 3:42pm. The 2 meter anemometer is now reporting 0, which indicates that it likely was completely melted. #okwx #okmesonet

Tweet by @DataRepublican: "In my initial run, which processed the first 60,000 rows, I did not find these awards—my hard drive overheated long before I could complete a full pass through the database. In a later run, which I referenced in another post, I did identify two such awards. That discrepancy is a matter of sampling size, not an issue with the query itself. I’ll now attempt a full run, which should capture the awards you found."

Elon Musk's favorite supposed data expert, who he's retweeted at least a dozen times, claims she can only process 60,000 rows of data before her "hard drive overheats"

A4 or Hagkaup… usually there during the day (and evening)

Now this is a thread I can contribute to!

Old Ísland map was laying out at work…fun seeing how long some of these highlands routes have existed
