Yesterday, #ICECHIP teams collected numerous hailstones > 100 mm in diameter, with the largest one being at least 139 mm (5.47 inches) just east of Afton, Texas. These stones will be sent to the cold lab at NCAR.

Are you in NE Colorado? Want to help out the #ICECHIP effort? We would deeply appreciate very large hailstones found by chasers or the community to be bagged & tagged and handed off to one of our teams! For labeling, please: • Write time, lat, and lon of collection!

Four tornadoes confirmed from Sunday east of Denver; three of them rated EF-2! Adams County is one of the most tornado-prone counties in the country, but this is the first EF-2 in the county since July 13, 1996. #cowx

MAGA strategy when they KNOW they've got no solid answer to valid questions: 1. Keep lying, even when it's been proven in front of you that it's a lie. 2. Yell a bunch.

President Trump was up at 1:30am rage tweeting about Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, Bono, and Oprah Winfrey, raising serious concerns about Biden's mental state during his last year in office.

What a moron! There is no stage 9. He has a Gleason Score of 9, but that doesn't mean the public could have known long ago. It's not like you start with a score of 1 at the beginning of diagnosis and work your way up. 9 means it's aggressive and fast growing.

It was not that long ago that I thought former President Truman was killed by the Mt. St. Helens eruption. Never occurred to me that there could be two people named Harry Truman. Thankfully a Google search just showed me I am not the only one to fall for that!

Most of the National Parks are out west, and most of those have vast areas of public lands surrounding them. Given the popularity of our national parks we propose expanding our parks to meet the needs of the people they're intended to benefit; you and I.

Anyone tells me Bruce Springsteen is not talented but is a huge fan of Kid Rock, yeah I'm not trusting that wackadoodle.

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

Just over here thinking about how much water was used yesterday for everybody to ask Grok dumb questions and get dumb answers. Like, each of those people could have just gone into the bathroom and turned on their showers for the entire day for no apparent reason. Same result.

One time, my dad called me a socialist because I suggested that more companies should be like Ben & Jerry's where they couldn't increase their salaries more than x% over the lowest paid employee. Glad to see them still out there, making good trouble.

Meanwhile at Vail Pass… #COwx

I'm in. Bad Hair Day still ranks as one of my favorite albums of the 1990s.

It's hard to stay awake when you're an all-powerful ruler.
