Yes, January, the month that comes around every 12 months to disprove global warming. (What's that, you say? The eastern half of the US doesn't represent the whole globe?)

A brutal record low achieved for the state of CO snowpack, with a 14-day forecast that increases the probability of a record low peak snowpack in March. For the sake of our already stressed forests, I hope somehow the pattern changes in Feb. or March.

I’m only two chapters in, but if the book continues to cook like it has so far, this will prove an ‘essential read’ recommendation.

From the Telegraph's big story. Sanctions are on the table, supposedly, if sending more NATO security to Greenland against Russia and China fails to appease Trump.

The 360-h ECMWF is such a tease, but out of desperation for a change from this appalling state of affairs, here it is.

I found this handsome donkey on a run this morning. Not surprisingly, she doesn’t support political retribution against the people of Colorado.

The NWS Denver/DIA forecast high for today is 73 F, well above the record high of 70 F for the date. I'm avoiding this heat wave with a visit to Wisconsin right now, but impressive warm anomalies are now moving into this region.

It was amazing seeing so many people turn out for NCAR in Boulder today. I was so busy talking to friends, colleagues, and new acquaintances, I scarcely had time to document the event. Here's a short video capturing a few of the scenes. A top highlight: Joe Neguse complimenting my ugly sweater.

A couple of scenes from my hybrid road/trail run this morning near Golden Gate State Park. It was so nice to have some fresh snow, even if the totals were underwhelming.

Another favorite was this tornado behind a pond in Hyannis, NE (April 27), following the unexpected wedge tornado before it.

Probably one of my tor favorite photos (that I captured) from this last storm season. It was in the earlier stages of the Arnett, OK tornado of May 18. Of course, it's hard to compete with Dickens, NE or Gary, SD, but I wasn't on either of those two events. With @francescodemartin.bsky.social
