Road trip north through California, through a multi-day atmospheric river (AR3-4). Many slides, much hydroplaning, very high river levels, some flooded sections on 101 & horribly low vis - I don’t recommend. #CAWx #ORWx @caltrans.bsky.social @scrippsocean.bsky.social

Not the textbook example I briefly saw with my own eyes moments before, but here is the unsung fogbow atop #mountwashington today. Just black&white hues, no colours due to the smaller size of the suspended droplets.

Extremely fortunate to host 2 of my 3 siblings & their families over for a few Christmas days huddled together. I am also thinking about my colleagues in the 24/7 Operational world, diligently forecasting with our safety in mind. & all the other shift workers out there. #ShiftWorkMemories #BCStorm

@ntp-reports.bsky.social @davesills.ca has NTP used citizen science to identify tornado tracks in the satellite record?! Very cool. #Tornado
Fascinating story about the "discovery" of a tornado years after the fact, and entirely by accident, through citizen science.

A man scouring Google Earth found a mysterious scar in the Australian outback – and now scientists know what caused it
An 11-kilometre long tornado scar was discovered on the Nullarbor Plain. Without the power of technology, it would have gone unnoticed.

Midday rustling of the cedars! Only a few more hours before they get properly tested. Tie loose objects down on your properties. Flying objects ruin ppl’s days! #BCWind #BCStorm #BombCyclone

Storm surge of ~23cm on top of 13:20 spring high tide in Victoria (Gorge). The ramps are nearly horizontal and in some cases, ramping up to the dock (Banfield park dock - see pic!). Wind waves will be splashing onto outer coastline! #VictoriaBC #BCCoastalFlooding #BCStormSurge #BCStorm
