One positive thing to come out of the COVID situation - I won't be an "orphan" during major weather conferences since they are now actually affordable to me.

For those unaware of the meaning of "orphan" here, I shall refer you to a talk from #AMS2017...

Thanks @WxComm for mentioning the Orphans. Ever wonder how AMS orphans got started? Check out #AMS2016Orphans - and my talk about it at #AMS2017. #AMS2019

From #AMS2017 to #ISEE2017! Check out my #lightning safety talk on Monday 1/30, and stop by the @VaisalaGroup booth to chat more!

Leaving Seattle and #AMS2017, #MountRainier is out and on display

#AMS2017 very impressive performance by Eastern Range #lightning location system. 58 meter location accuracy!

#AMS2017: might be the last day, but still plenty of @VaisalaGroup expert presentations. Be sure to check them out.

#AMS2017 #okwx Moore is more likely to prepare/heed #tornado warnings than others are, though

#AMS2017 #okwx how vulnerable do you feel your town is to #tornadoes? Perhaps no surprise, Moore ranked their town 10

#AMS2017: Jacks - survey shows more than 1/3 of broadcast meteorologists and emergency managers don't know the correct definition of "watch"
