Calling our round 1 total 10" as of 9:15am 2/20. Still have about 9" sitting on the brick patio but that reflects some ice melt we put down on the walkway before we started accumulating. #vawx

9:15 pm: 8" Norfolk, VA. Didn't put out a snow board but took 3 measurements to average on elevated lawn furniture. #vawx

I wasn't sure about posting this amidst the dumpster 🔥, but I'm missing the days when you could do fun things with public info on social media and have it be effective. And of course missing Sully. Here he was on his last day - it was a relatively good one and we absolutely spoiled him.

A coda for those of y'all who knew me from my account Over There: if any of you remember Sully, our #WeatherReadyCat from my Sea Grant days, I'm sorry to say we lost him three weeks ago today to cancer. He was only 8 - wait, that was 8 years ago? - and we miss him. Hug your fur babies!

Wait we do fun things on social media again here?

Show me your pet and what they were named for

1 year ago today I was in DC for the release of #NCA5. Somehow that experience didn't keep me from signing up for #NCA6... Continuing my record of managing to make meetings in odd places - this time the gate at BDL. Happy to be an co-author on the Coasts chapter!
