Retired NWS meteorologist and basement drummer (not retired). I could very well be watching the Cyclones, Bears, or Cubs as well. Big dogs are best.

The dendrite machine is fully operational in Des Moines. RAP sounding shows it well supersaturated wrt ice in and near the DGZ. This boosts snow/liquid ratios well into the 30s as noted in the Cobb Bufkit data. #iawx

Because this platform is moderated. This is not Twitter. There is no Elon Musk dominating an algorithm that drags down the platform

Bluesky is unique. We need it to grow.
The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us.
Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”
Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

@bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

It's that time of year where everyone gets fired up about the 240-300 GFS snow forecast. 🤦
