Got a faint aurora glow to the left of the picture (north direction), but the Little Dipper and a meteor were caught in the shot facing east.

I was able to finally get out and get some last minute fall foliage pictures. Partly overcast skies made it a small challenge, but I still managed.

Look at this perfect little snowflake! ❄️ I was on a burning mission, tearing across the landscape to find the nearest bathroom not winterized at a state park. But once this fell on my sleeve, I had to stop for a photo.

I was reminded of this deep piece of art work from 2021. It was written shortly after escaping long term narcissistic abuse and helped kickstart the healing process.

And here we have a wild Boog in its natural habitat - stalking the recycling truck.. waiting for the opportune moment to pounce.

10/30/24 - How scary can nocturnal chases get? While driving back east, this little critter came up right behind me. There was rotation but no tornado was present. Having this close proximity warning pop up in pitch blackness built some character #iawx #stormchasing #wx #squall #stormchaser

October 2021 - Seaside Heights, New Jersey
For my first time seeing the Atlantic in person, I was awestruck. At some point, I need to make it back out to the east coast for a little longer of a trip.

Just a reminder that NWS is considered essential during a government shutdown. Meteorologists will still go to work, forecasts will still be made, watches and warnings will be issued, data will flow. We won’t be paid until the shutdown ends, but we’ll still protect life and property as always.

Just think, this is right around the corner 😉😅❄️ Very soon, Team Dakota will be transitioning from ‘severe weather mode’ to ‘winter weather mode’.
Chilly chases (both chilly and chili🌶️😋🍲), will be commencing before we know it 👀

Just because you may not have the best tech, doesn’t mean you can’t start snapping shots of your world. It’ll be what gets your foot in the door!
