Some days I find myself recalling the time I saw Live perform in Atlantic City and dedicating the song β€œShit Towne” to the city. And we all basically didn’t argue or boo or react negatively.

Why, yes Instagram. Lately I have indeed been into Great Lakes shipwrecks.

one of the worst days of the crumbling Trump presidency: loses In indiana, loses in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, loses in Tish James grand jury, loses in House vote to override union busting EO, and FBI embarrassed in inability to answer basic questions about ANTIFA (which is not an organization)

Floody Northwest, brutal cold this weekend in the Midwest, then a big thaw.

Record flooding prompts trouble in parts of western Washington, and a look at record cold in the Midwest this weekend Plus, could a prolonged warm spell spoil Christmas week?

We have an update on the now-record flooding in spots that’s occurring in Washington State. We also take a look at record cold this weekend in the Midwest and the potential for a serious nationwide warm up leading into Christmas week. Details below or at theeyewall.com.

Just an absolute epic takedown. Don’t know if it matters but it should and should be replayed constantly.

Graph from NOAA showing the Snohomish river in the purple flood stage currently at 33.5 feet. It was expected to crest in the model at 33.4. I suspect there are several inches more to go based on current rate.

My Buddy lives in Snohomish and the river has just surpassed its record flood. Observed numbers are running slightly higher than the model.

After a Friday and Saturday warming trend, it looks like Houston gets a very, very brief shot of winter cold In brief: A lovely day today in Houston will give way to a warm up tomorrow and fog and shower chances on Saturday. Our next front Sunday morning may knock temps back close to freezing in spots on …

Today looks spectacular, and we will warm up a good bit tomorrow and Saturday. A cold front Sunday will usher in some rather chilly air, and we may be talking about isolated freezing temperatures by Monday morning. What comes after? @mattlanza.bsky.social has details!

I’m going to wait for all the details to emerge but something tells me what has happened in Ann Arbor is not on the up and up.

From 2005 to 2012, one CBP officer or agent was arrested for corruption, crimes, or misconduct EVERY SINGLE DAY. By 2019, it had slowed to just one every 35 hours. Still a huge problem:

You know, the DoJ is supposed to work for the people, not act as a pawn to cover up the president's crimes.

I always wondered as a kid why we kept doing β€œbeach replenishment” projects on the Jersey Shore except to save something that was ultimately not going to be able to be saved.

Been a little wiped out of weather lately for various reasons, so the Eyewall has suffered a bit. But, I'm back on the horse!

This is a critically important topic that's misunderstood, not understood, or used as a political football. To get a good understanding of the competing interests, complex interplays, and potential future problems, these books will give you an outstanding foundation.

The West and Water A list of books that will lead to a better and fuller understanding of the water picture in the Western U.S.

I'll be posting this later today on @theeyewallwx.bsky.social, but if you're looking for some late holiday gift ideas for yourself or others, I curated a list on Bookshop about water issues in the West, including Texas and the Great Plains.
