With, among other things, wildfires being an increasing threat to our country, this is a very short-sighted decision.

Not gonna lie - concentrating on science today is very tough with, well, you know, everything going on.

I agree and believe our value in the field is the ability to critically think and develop trustful, healthy relationships.

LLMs can organize workflows and simplify other “tedious” tasks in our work lives. I don’t know everything, but I am learning more and want to teach my students about it. 🙂

I agree with encouraging our students to learn to and use LLMs for elements of their work. This is the future and employers demand these skills.

But, LLMs are not glorified spelling and grammar checkers, and having our students use them primarily for those tasks is not helping them.

My undergraduate Climate class is making Instagram/TikTok-style videos to explain modes of climate variability to non-experts as part of their homework.

My graduate Statistics class is making statistics-related memes for extra credit.

It's a fun time of year for sure!

But the real question is - do they have to use Teams?

How did I not know you moved last year?

Can anyone point me to a csv file to download tornado reports across the US dating from 1950 to near present? The file I have looks like this, but it ends in 2019.

Welcome!

Just another typical July day in Oklahoma.

Wild that this will likely be the coolest day until Monday.

It’s too early for this.

Looks like some great times to buy!

I have a drought joke, but only those with a dry sense of humor will get it.

Where's Alaska?

Austin TX crushed their record high for March 15 and tied their all time highest max temperature for March: 98 F.

About to get some pretty damaging hail in OKC metro and potentially a tornado.

You haven’t lost (or gained) anything unless you sell.

Oh.

Very scary…

Those people are just walking by on the street??

No.

(1) The observation was at TF Green Airport, which is in Warwick, not Providence. So, it was not a city record for Providence.

(2) If counting only official observing sites, then 37.8" is a state record. But, I am pretty sure Woonsocket at 40" or more during the Blizzard of 1978.

For those sites and for official records - I believe it is. The next closest is Worcester (ORH), which had 34.5" on January 27, 2015.
