That little black spec on the right hand side of this infographic is the total budget of the NWS. How is eliminating positions that exponentially increase economic dividends through enhancing commerce and mitigating/preventing disasters saving money or eliminating waste/fraud?

Big transformer flash somewhere near Troy Hill or Washington's landing in Pittsburgh. Power appears to be out for a large chunk of Lower Lawrenceville and Troy Hill. #Pittsburgh

There's a couple product posting bots for Cleveland: @cle.nws-bot.us and @cle.weather.im but nothing for their actual social presence that I'm aware of

The EZ-Pass cartographer really gave up on Florida

Just think: if we hadn't wasted all that time and money on Numerical Weather Prediction and had invested in a time machine, we could have 100% accuracy years in advance 😉

AMC just played a bunch of R-rated trailers to an IMAX theater full of kids waiting to watch #Wicked, then rolled the first 10 minutes of Gladiator 😂

The stockings were hung on the Ops Floor with care

I am really disturbed about the changing of the UGA Redcoat Band March-in song by some zealous Georgia fans, replacing the words for their own purposes.  ESPN should apologize to the Redcoat Band for their lack of homework and allowing Mcafee to lead the crowd in this disrespectful and irreverent rendition of the long-standing band tradition. 
Here are the comments from long time Redcoat band announcer Tom Jackson:  
“Gotta get this off my chest. I have not been a Pat McAfee fan and am even less so after this morning. It was disappointing to hear him lead the bastardized Redcoat Band chant with the ESPN Gameday crowd, and of course they ate it up when he used the altered words "drunk obnoxious Georgia fan" where it's supposed to say "Georgia Redcoat Marching Band." There is nothing admirable, or even funny, for our fans to praise being drunk and obnoxious. The fact that this changed wording has gotten to be in such common usage that it lands on a national TV broadcast is so very disappointing. Dawgs fans can do better than this in representing our university with class and pride. And remember, "There's nothing finer in the land, than the Georgia Redcoat Marching Band." Period.”

Felt appropriate for my first #Sky post to be my favorite sky photo: Colorado June 2014
