Among all the eye-popping numbers in the December summary linked below, it's also the first public appearance of this annual weather/climate visualization which I am quite fond of.

Larger version at climate.colostate.edu/co_cag/index... in case resolution here isn't so good. #cowx

My dear friend Lara Ruggles is releasing a beautiful and terribly relevant song and video on Jan 23, and I’m incredibly honored to be included in the video. I hope you will listen to The Glue, and follow @sharkkheartt on Instagram.

Have you ever talked so fast that it feels like you’re running through labyrinthine spaceship corridors & subordinate clauses are a series of doors rapidly sliding shut behind you & time itself is a half-mechanical & half-biological monster pursuing you & meaning is sounding every alarm? Just me?

I think it should be illegal to name your subdivision after the wildlife you displaced to build mcmansions

Bobolink Acres? Not anymore, you assholes, you made sure of that!

3:30 PM WINDSTORM UPDATE: Winds still very strong in/near the terrain, but eastward push of strong winds didn't happen. Winds should be retreating west/uphill over the next 1-3 hours. Fire danger remains elevated through 6PM.

104 MPH is the winner so far at NCAR Mesa Lab in south Boulder! #COWX

What does the moon want? Up there tugging at our oceans, making werewolves. Always hiding its back from us. Go away!

Desert sunflowers, and a more white pinkish desert verbena as compared to the more typical purple verbena in the last photo (Photos: Sicco Rood).

Somewhere in this photo is a car pretending to be an arctic fox along Hwy 93 this morning.

Good news: there were no injuries along Hwy 93.

Not so good news: deputies saw around 50 vehicles off the road (and they helped quite a few of them get unstuck).

Visibility is low, roads are icy, and traction is not your friend today.

Please give yourself extra time, slow way down, leave lots of room between you and the next car, and drive with patience and caution.

Better to arrive a little late than end up parked as part of the winter scenery. #cowx

A small thing: maybe a sound effect for sunrises/moonrises & sunsets/moonsets? Off the top of my head it could sound like when a sword is drawn or sheathed?
