So I guess I should do a bit of an introduction for those of you who don't know me. I am a degreed meteorologist living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (No, not Roll Tide, its Go DAWGS #UGA). I have taken a circuitous path into the field and now support Snow Hydrology and River Ice Ops in the NWS. (1/??).

Senate just voted to confirm Dr. Jacobs and the other 106 nominees. So now all that remains is for him to be sworn in.

GetnCurriedAway @getncurriedaway.bsky.social · 3d

Thune filed cloture for the nominees on Friday. The cloture vote is on Monday after the two government shutdown votes. Then if cloture is invoked the final vote will be sometime after that. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

So, he is not yet confirmed, still two votes to go for that, but soon.

Tie the game on a FG. Seems like a pretty smart play to take the points. But Alabama makes Kirby not look so smart, except for one magical night.

Picked the wrong city to have a job in. So sick and tired of the Tide

Never mind about this game.
The CFB playoff committee says if the playoffs opened today, Alabama would be in and Florida State would be out.
It’s complicated.
You wouldn’t understand.

Been a bit since I posted on here but there is a pretty good reason for that. 15 days ago I became a Dad! :-)

This has not been a good offseason for the Braves. Not at all.

In yet another case of weather whiplash, fires today in western North Carolina occurred four months after Helene’s historic rainfall. If no rain occurs with Friday’s front, Asheville will have its 4th driest January on record. 120-day departures are as much as 12-16”+ in the southern Apps. #NCwx

Satellite-detected heat signatures outlined by pixels over McDowell County, NC, to the east-northeast of Asheville. Fires remain active as of late afternoon, amid decreasing winds but relative humidity in the teens.

30-day percent of normal precipitation over the southern Appalachians. Dark red areas have seen <25% of normal amounts in this period. Generally the entire region has been drier than normal amid an unusually cold January, with a suppressed storm track well to the south.

120-day precipitation departures are as high as 12-16”+ in the dark red areas and widely range from 6-12” in the southern Appalachians, Piedmont and adjacent areas. This dryness immediately followed Helene’s historic rainfall, which left the region in despair.

Ranking of monthly precipitation projected out through the end of January. Some areas will see rain with a front on Friday, but amounts are trending lower. If no rain occurs in Asheville tomorrow night into Friday, they could end up with their 4th driest January in 137 years.

Very sad news. I learned more about severe local convective storms from Chuck Doswell than anyone else. He was a friend and mentor.

SpaceX confirms that Starship broke apart during its ascent burn.

A passenger on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship "Icon of the Seas" posted this video, with the ship's current location in the Atlantic matching other debris sightings.

Shortwave Infrared and Water Vapor images from #GOESEast displayed the SpaceX #Starship rocket booster's thermal signature shortly after launch from Starbase near the Texas coast.

Later, residents of Turks and Caicos DOGE a bullet as high altitude debris falls from the disintegrating rocket.

I think Alex Anthopoulos got lost at the Winter Meetings and may never be seen from again. It has been tough going for Braves fans since Strider got hurt last year.

Haven't posted in a while but it's been an adventurous couple of weeks. I did see Trans-Siberian Orchestra twice and got to see my favorite song Tracers twice! Here is video from Gas South Arena in Duluth, GA that I took of the stage coming alive! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCaU...
