Everything is performative BS with these people just to get a headline. And the media and the market keeps playing along.

Tried and true method for laying out a clear, logical argument:

Intro with a thesis statement.

Topic sentences followed by well-researched supporting arguments. Cite your sources.

Conclusion summarizing the points you just made.

It's spring. It gets hot.

(Am I doing this right?)

2 days with lows in the teens and 2 days with highs in the 90s in the same week must have the plants confused.

Brush burning day

Ooof

Sadly the only memories involved are the 1998 central American smoke plume that invaded south Texas for a month and the 2005 north Texas wildfire season. Those were my formative years I guess.

Living amongst national forests has its benefits. Unfortunately in early spring prescribed burns can turn a nice day into a smokey apocalypse. Visibility down to 1 to 2 miles from a burn 30 miles away.

Don't much care about the Superbowl but it's an excuse to smoke some ribs.

My low last night was -11 F. Of all sites that report their data in real time, that was the coldest in Arkansas. Snow pack and river valley cold air drainage is some serious business.

Just cut down the tall grass on our hill in preparation for some sledding activities this weekend.

Often I have to ask is the model really forecasting it (does it have the microphysics) or is this just postprocessing algorithms to make some best guesses for pretty maps? I suspect this is a case of the latter since it's so bad but I don't know enough about the ecm.

A few inches of snow and Central Park certainly didn't disappoint yesterday.

Great win Ags. Don't ever do that again, my heart can't handle it.

Wow had no idea the numbers were that low. That's insane.

You have a way with words. The Robert Frost of our time.

It's a good day when a tree felling goes according to plan. This was my biggest and trickiest one yet.

Dominated in all stats except penalties and final score......those may be correlated.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Weather groupies just mad next week's hurricane entertainment got rug pulled.

Getting one next week and I hope I can get one below $5...

My favorite weather is the summertime surprise sunshine downpour. This one came with a rainbow just a few feet away. (No pot of gold was found.)

No they are not. Good luck!

Nymph stage of the leaf footed bug.

Works as advertised!

Since we've decided as a country not to support PBS anymore, I do want to make a plug for PBS Passport the online streaming version of PBS. It's $5 a month and we've had it for 8 years now. Nova, Frontline, nature, Ken Burns, local shows, old house, masterpiece, and more are faves in this household.

New snake for me. A speckled King snake.

Growing tomatoes is way easier in Arkansas than DFW. The plants are over 6 feet tall now.

The wx community agrees forecasts matched our scientific skill.

The end users say it wasn’t good enough.

Frustratingly, we’re dismantling the ability to improve prediction science, communication services, and partner relations.

Instead of blame or defense, we need to say: This WILL happen again.
