Climatologist, clouds, warm weather, rock and roll. You may know me from my greatest hits: Assistant State Climatologist of Colorado. Now feeling my way around consulting.
The price of groceries goes down when you buy less food and starve your family. Imagine that!
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Among all the eye-popping numbers in the December summary linked below, it's also the first public appearance of this annual weather/climate visualization which I am quite fond of.

Current statewide snowpack is officially record low for this date. Looking at where snowpack can go from here, we'd have to get 90th percentile snowpack accumulations between now and April to get a near average peak.
This will have an impact on water supply and the wildfire season. #cowx

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I can't count how many times I've been at the gym, watching gym bros huddling together and admiring themselves and thought "wouldn't it be great if they were leading our country?"
Actually I CAN count the number of times. It's zero.

Five years ago today, we named specific Coloradans who stoked election rigging claims and tried to overthrow the election.
“What those Coloradans did, leading up to today’s insurrection, is on them. Whether the rest of us on Colorado remember what they did, is on us.”
This aired Jan 6, 2021.

A devastating wildfire ravaged Boulder County, Colorado.
Abundant drought conditions & winds over 70-100 mph field the flames that eventually burned over 6,000 acres. Close to 1,100 structures were destroyed, and two people were killed.

An excellent graphic posted on the NWS Fairbanks FB page. Ice fog is not the same as freezing fog. It has to be at least -22F (-30C) before you have true ice fog. Here in Anchorage, it's not uncommon to have fog at 0F - but it is not ice fog. Fog droplets are still liquid at 0F - hence the rime.

This is also an annual reminder that every year, the warm records far outweigh the cold records.
Through Dec. 27, pretty staggering number of daily and monthly warm temperature records set this month, so far. (Data: NOAA/NCEI)

Remind me if anyone? I could make a few…
Some men say climate change is “overblown.” Turns out it’s less about the data and more about not wanting to look feminine.
Fragile masculinity = climate denial.
Remind you of anyone…?

Some men may downplay climate change risks to avoid appearing feminine
A new study finds that men who are anxious about their masculinity are less likely to care about climate change. They may view environmental concern as a feminine trait that threatens their image.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."
‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”
So a napkin is a little tablecloth.
