The sun just set in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, for the season (71.29°N). It will rise again in 66 days (January 23rd). Good night. 🥱 @alaskawx.bsky.social

A lot of wind to contend with today and again tomorrow. Strong low pressure anchored to our northeast creating a tight pressure gradient across New England. Still breezy Tuesday but quieter mid-week as high pressure builds east

Good to have a competitive football team again
As Mike Vrabel greeted each player on their way back to the locker room, he kept saying, “NFC South champs! NFC South champs!” — a reference to the quality of opponent the Patriots beat.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It's not every day that both poles set new monthly temperature records (see my earlier post). Last month also observed the warmest October on record for the #Arctic Circle. Not great!!

Windy night coming up. Gusty from the SW this evening, then post-frontal NW winds after midnight. Atmosphere becomes well mixed overnight...tapping winds in the 950-900 mb layer (45-55 knots)... add in a good pressure rise...likely to be some 50 - 60 mph gusts. Particularly on the Outer Cape
