Something Big Is Happening A personal note for non-tech friends and family on what AI is starting to change.

I see everything through the lens of running @garnettscafe.bsky.social && so don't really worry about the direct impact of AI except the part where maybe everybody else loses their jobs :(

My Grueling Quest To Buy A Switch 2 By Riding Citi Bikes After roughly 495 bike rides and interrupted by a broken foot, I have a Nintendo Switch 2 from riding Citi Bike points. Was that work?

Had a new GravelKing tire blow completely off of the rim yesterday. Had *maybe* 3 miles on the tire. I was going maybe 15-20 mph - lucky I didn't crash out. Anyway gonna get different tires now. #bike

Monday morning RVA weather brief. Still chilly today, but tomorrow soars into the 50s. Spring is not coming early, but long-lasting, intense cold is gone for at least a couple of weeks (and probably for the season).

Thought about adopting a specific pile somewhere and getting a pool going on how long it would last

Pic I tool somewhere in Church Hill in 2014. There were so many houses akin to this. #rva

so glad it missed us!

I get a melancholy when I'm reminded of photos from right before covid. Pipeline walk Feb 2020.

This is my final...ish forecast for this weekend's snowstorm. Many of the models have greatly suppressed snowfall throughout much of central and northern Virginia, while ramping it up near the Atlantic coast. There are many issues regarding phasing and dry slotting that make this forecast a nightmare (which is why I say final...ish) - most of the model guidance ranges anywhere from 0 inches to 8 inches of snow in Richmond. Since much of the guidance shows lower snowfall totals near Richmond, amounts have been reduced there. Confidence remains quite low, however. Southwestern Virginia and Hampton Roads will be a different story. Heavy snow is likely in Blacksburg, Galax, and Bristol. The heaviest snow will likely occur in South Hampton Roads along the coast - the center of the low pressure system will be relatively near the coast, and it will be rapidly intensifying. This means sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph and gusts as high as 50 mph, and blizzard conditions are possible in portions of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore. This is a particularly dangerous situation for those areas, and travel will be nearly impossible, especially on Saturday into Sunday. Although snow totals further inland have been reduced, wind will be a serious issue along and east of I-95. In areas where blizzard conditions are not expected, you are still looking at sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts. Our recent ice storm has done a number on trees and infrastructure, and although these winds are not particularly high, there will be a significant power outage threat in much of the region.

My final(ish) forecast for this weekend's storm. Confidence is low for everywhere except Hampton Roads and SW VA. The snow forecast is lower in the #RVA area, but high winds are possible and - thanks to our recent ice storm - widespread power outages are possible. See alt text for discussion. #vawx

Got that 2010 snow day confused with the 2009 snow day that the ACME grocery burned

I remembered this pic and went looking for it. Fortuitous that it was exactly 16 years ago.
