Take a look on the front cover. If I remember correctly, it had the graphic of a warm front drawn backwards, at least in early versions. We used the text in the AMS DataStreme class.

Mix those ditch lilies with some Stella d’Oro and you have two overused plants that give a totally new look together. Yellow and orange is a nice combo.

One of my favorite MRMS products. It really helps rank circulations of concern in QlCSs too. Should be utilized more in the warming decision making process IMO, as among other things, it nicely depicts trends and strength in real-time for rapid assessment.

Climate change suggests these early warmups followed by an early spring freeze are becoming a more common part of the weather playbook.

Great! That’s a project that had long been on my wish list but never got to it before I retired. Lots of angles to take to analyze for potential impacts.

And plenty of hot, dry weather to have an excuse to drink them too. 😁

Also increases vulnerability to frost and freeze events as we will experience in some areas tonight (dark and light blue).

Alabama has a mayo-based bbq sauce that isn’t too bad on chicken to continue down the mayo rat hole. 😁

We might get a freeze tonight 🤣.

Looks like a cool place.

Mayo is an interesting call, but you pass the Chicago no-ketchup rule. 😁

On this day in 1995, the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed. 168 men, women, and children were murdered and hundreds more were injured. 1/

I’m on board with this as a retired Fed. Currently watching PBS about the Holocaust and it makes me wish we could take these anti-Feds and march them by the Murrah Building like Eisenhower marched Germans through the death camps. See where innocent kids died in a daycare and so forth.

Take the wrong lesson from a movie:

Night of the Living Dead

Don’t mess with your sister.

To continue the metaphor. 🤣

Guessing that a miscalculation of the flags drag effect from the wind was not accounted for.

Transparency my anal sphincter.

Fuckers. Sometimes that’s the right word, pure and simple.

You definitely don’t want starlings. Had them enter our oven vent unknown to us. Used the oven to bake which also roasted the bird in the vent. Worst part were the mites abandoning the dead carcass and crawling all over the stove and microwave. 🤢

He was Greg Maddux before Greg Maddux.

Local example from Western Illinois U. who did well. Sat behind home plate at Wrigley and watched him pitch. Every ball had movement, nothing without a break or sink.

And they could pitch complete games too.

Spotty damage across the Midwest yesterday from tornadoes, straight-line winds, flooding, and large hail. We were fortunate in only losing our hummingbird feeder, which I’ll need to replace as they’re likely to arrive very soon.

Seems to be the way of the world in recent years. Either too little or too much and no in-between.

Welcome to the Midwest in spring. From drought to river flooding in a few weeks. Small green polygons are river flooding warnings at specific locations.

No, it really isn’t. And really never has been if you follow your faith with integrity.
