I still have things torn up from the last windstorm. RLY? So soon? Aw, you shouldn't have 🤓 #NSStorm#Halifax#NovaScotia I'll start tying things down at dawn.
Power or No Power? 🤔 That is the question?
One house had it, next one didn't. . Wind was brutal.
A lot of Emergency Vehicles in my hood. #LowerSackville#Firetrucks#Halifax#WX #NSStorm
It warm enough that I walked around taking photos.
I saw some damage; I had some damage
10 mins from home, I was caught in a downpour.
PC shut down all day; I'm finally to my video editing.
And I have some videos to show in this #thread. Some #Wind moving around.
STAY TUNED. Still at risk of power loss.
Okay, who broke the ICON weather model?!?! Total rain for Ojai from 2/1/24 10am to 2/7/24 7pm says... 23.38 inches in the Ventusky display of ICON. #wx#CAwx#rain#ICON
Well, that's annoying. Until last week #NWSLosAngeles was posting their graphical #WX stories to their webpage, which allowed me to repost them here. They now are ONLY posting them on FB and the crappy-site-once-known-as-Twitter. #Argh
Oddly cheerful Mashable article trying to sell Amazon affiliate air conditioners: "July has been the hottest month on record. Ever. If you've survived without central AC up to this point but now need a cooling solution, Invest in a trusty portable AC to prevent sweat from dripping down your face all summer.
Sometimes, a simple ceiling fan won't do when it comes to lowering your body temp during an incredibly hot summer (read: summer of 2023)." #heatwaves#climate#commerce#wx
Environment Canada has issued alerts for some areas already, reminding folks conditions will begin Saturday morning, with high wind gusts, storm surge and rainfall warning #NSStorm#NBStorm#WX
Today cools down, tomorrow warms up and then, starting Sunday in the Houston area: A big chill, as temps slide into a hard freeze. @mattlanza has the details, along with a concise timeline of what happens when.
Whenever I see forecasts like rain for this weekend, I chuckle (not because of the potential for death and destruction, but because of this -- fake movie prop -- book)

Revived the NWS WPC bot (which was reposting #birdsite posts, which broke awhile back). Now posting Mesoscale Precipidation Discussions, with text, and as much as possible in #alttext. @nwswpc_bot (currently data also duplicated in @spcmdc_bot where I mashed up WPC and SPC data). #wx#weather#NWS
Aha, have some ground truth available via #sensor for what the rain conditions are over there at #BurningMan. There's a CWOP station transmitting #wx station data. #NVwx
Kinda cool logging onto my server in the morning and there are a bunch of other people who have already posted National Weather Service outlooks/forecasts/etc. #wx#weather
