Georg Richmann being the first man to ever create ball lightning and the first man ever killed by ball lightning in the same incident is near perfect comedy

During COVID I livestreamed a GEO475 lecture on landscape analysis/reading while playing geoguessr. Those were my best attended lectures all semester.

On campus test station picked up 5.7 inch/hour at one point. A staggering amount of rain today.

Sucks to hear about the funding, but yes please do that project if it can ever get revived! Our results are similar to other papers/studies, but they are all in Europe or Asia. We need more in our region with similar climates!

Yeah a weather station may read 80°F, but 100 yards away it could be 75°F or nearly 95°F. If your entire network is a set of mesonet stations in rural areas, you aren't picking up what's going on in suburbia and urban places, and that's a problem because that's where nearly everyone lives!

Should point out - as the article argues - in-situ sensors/readings are not superior to official weather station networks and it's not feasible to replace them. But by skewing our wx station networks to idealized locations (grassy areas, far from buildings) we miss *so* much variability over space.
