Things got messy quickly and I’m not interested in chasing the driftless region. Still saw some pretty clouds at least!

Sitting south of Cedar Falls at highway 58 and 20 looking east. Waiting to see what the warned cell to the west does and what pops up in the meantime. #iawx

Headed out to Waterloo 🫡

Debating a solo chase down to eastern Iowa… it’s been a while.

Sondehub screenshot of a recovery that reads “Was hanging high up in a tree. Had fun shooting it out of the tree with a shotgun to find out what it was. First time finding one of these. Lol.”

The most western Wisconsin response to finding a radiosonde…

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

Watching this snow set up right where the AIFS has had it for several runs (which was weighed HEAVILY for yesterday's advisory placement) while the CAMs insisted on targeting AXN-STC-MSP-EAU like

Does it make it better or worse if I tell you we weren't sure either? 😅

As the mom of a 3 year old who has watched all of those at least 27 times, that's exactly what I thought of when I started reading!

Single piece of cake on a plate with a note from someone who is presumably not a Minnesotan that says “someone please take this last piece!”

How many times will this piece of cake in the MPX break room be cut in half?

Ugh, yeah that’s fair. I do not.

there’s a handful! Search IEM and they should come up @wpc.weather.im @mpx.weather.im

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Whelp.

Home weather station display showing windchill of -35° and an indoor temperature of 58°

Screenshot of 3am ob from KFCM. -21° with a windchill of -45°

Woke up cold. Realized our gas line was frozen again. Happy to have figured this out and fixed it at 3am rather than 7am 🥲

Unhinged doesn't cover it anymore.

Worsening bruise from yesterday’s accident. I also had a nerve ablation for my (unrelated) chronic low back pain today. At least I have pain meds now?

Photo of the F150 we were given as our rental because they were out of whatever class of vehicle we were supposed to get through insurance. The irony of it being the same type and color of truck that hit me is really something.

Tuesday update…

Front left side of my car that got hit at an intersection this morning

Pieces and parts of car

Bruise on the left side of my chest and neck from my seatbelt. I’ll have one across my lap too I’m sure.

I got an oil change yesterday 🥲
(I was taking Nolan and the dogs to daycare, everyone is fine, I just have bruising from my seatbelt)

…and then scream.

I’m gonna do that, and then I’m gonna scream.

Why does shit like this always happen when I'm on mids???

Taking the 18z ob and snow core wasn’t fun, but it was pretty… #mnwx

Been a looooong weekend at work. Happy I got to go in early today and spend the afternoon at home with my boys. One more shift tomorrow, then off till mids to start 2026. #mnwx

My 3 year old is in that awkward nap stage where he’s an absolute demon if he doesn’t nap, but he will be in bed asleep by 8. If he does nap, he’s more pleasant through the day, but will fight bedtime for 90 minutes, meaning he’s up until 9-9:30. There’s no winning. I’m exhausted.

I cannot stand those clowns…

The energy at MPX today is 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you!!

Hey @climatologist49.bsky.social, any chance we can get an update White Thanksgiving graphic for MPX?

When I was 3-4 years old, I was obsessed with watching The Weather Channel. Only, I called it ‘The Cookie Channel’ because the moon phases looked like Oreos. Now I’m a meteorologist 🤷🏼‍♀️

Absolutely insane.
