Still pretty down on myself today. The walking trail is what I needed this morning to feel a bit better.

I'm still working for two hours and my depression has me wanting to curl up in bed until noon tomorrow. Brains are stupid!

The circuit breaker in my apartment is full of misspelled words. Laights. Furnance. My mom and I are incapable of calling it anything but the "dishwa-ha-sher" now.

My latest book—The Skies Above—is a celebration of what we overlook when we look up. I cover everything from asteroids to hailstones, and even why every rainbow you see is unique to you. Get your copy today! www.damweather.com/p/the-skies-...

It's (finally!) clear enough to see the ice on Lake Erie today. 95.3% coverage as of yesterday—the most in a decade.

Gorgeous cloud streets tracing the coastlines and Gulf Stream this afternoon as cold air blows over the warmer ocean waters.

Almost all the models did a great job sniffing out the lack of snow over western N.C. and the Triad yesterday. Moisture dissipating as it crossed over the Appalachians, and the low 'skipping' from the Gulf to the Atlantic, worked together to only allow for a light dusting of snow around here. #ncwx

Maybe these new curses will cancel out some of the current ones.

A well-advertised burst of snow this morning sent the school systems scrambling. A two-hour delay switched to a closure when the kids were already on the buses. Now the sun is out and it's vanishing.

It's 27°F and the sun angle is so strong now that the snow had trouble sticking to anything but the grass north of Greensboro, N.C. Looks like we're going to end with less than half an inch. We'll see what tomorrow morning brings, if anything.

The Florida Peninsula once again refuses to participate in winter.

It's so dry that almost none of this snow is making it to the ground. A winter storm warning turned into "maybe flurries." I don't know what this area did to ward off snow, but props to whoever whipped up that curse. Can I contract your services?

Nervously waiting for lab results to hit my email to see if I can make my doctor proud of my perfect cholesterol again. It's the little things that count as wins in the empire's waning days.

I had to swerve around a loaf of bread on the highway this afternoon. Either someone lost a bag of groceries or there's a really determined kid out there making an offering to the snow gods.

I don't envy mets trying to forecast this snow for the Piedmont Triad. Every model but the GFS tries to snow-hole us tomorrow as the mountains wring out the precip and then the low 'skips' from the Gulf to the Atlantic. I like the RGEM literally putting a hole in the snow over us.

Here's a small list of the ways you directly benefit from the National Weather Service on a daily basis. The agency is a public good that issues critical, lifesaving forecasts and alerts. We must save it from indiscriminate and irreparable damage. www.damweather.com/2025/02/the-...

Waiting for the phlebotomist in a packed waiting room. 13 people in the room. 4 are having a coughing contest. A few loudly sigh every few minutes. One is talking on his phone like he's at home. This must be what hell feels like.

Good grief. Again. The past month has been absolute hell for my plane crash nightmares and intrusive thoughts.

I keep seeing this story float around and I hate the framing. I'm no more "addicted" to antidepressants than someone with a pacemaker is "addicted" to electronics. They're lifesaving medicines that correct a chemical imbalance in your brain.

Love this morning's satellite image of North America and the northern Atlantic Ocean. Swirly clouds stretch from Greenland to the Gulf of Mexico.

I have no issue with a sitting president attending an event with the American people. However, if your mantra is extreme efficiency and cutting waste—while labeling things like cancer research and veterans’ benefits as waste—you have no business participating in events like this.

Do you live in the Southeast U.S.? Did you receive a tornado or severe t-storm warning from the NWS yesterday? Did you feel good knowing someone is watching out for you & letting you know potentially dangerous weather was headed your way? If so, maybe let others know why you think NWS is important.

It’s not just satellites. Other things that the government maintains: >150 weather radars ~100 weather balloon sites Supercomputers, models run every hour, 3 hours, 4 hours… Buoys Make that all for-profit and you’ll see the public isn’t interested in paying for weather.

Just a casual foot of snow in eastern Ontario. Toronto could see one of its top-five snowiest days on record from this system.

The Chelyabinsk meteor is one of my all-time favorite things to study. And the cherry on top is that I was reading about meteors just hours before it hit, to boot.

The amount of talent and knowledge that is going to be let go for no good reason whatsoever is maddening. We, as a country, are far worse off without their expertise.

It's off the charts how much of this cruelty is just payback for the gall of saying "care about your neighbor" in 2020.
