People who show up to PGA tournaments to yell “GET IN THE HOLE” at every shot are the same people that yell “SHOOOOOOOOT IT” during an entire power play.

On February 24 the National Hurricane Center released its 2024 Verification Report Preview.  For every forecast interval from 12 to 120 hours NHC broke the records for forecast track accuracy. Day 5 forecasts of hurricane track are now more accurate than day 2 forecasts in the early and mid 1990s.

Rob Ray delivered one of the clearest F-bombs I’ve ever heard on a live broadcast tonight. What a king.

Sabres just recorded a third period where they scored a goal but recorded zero shots on goal. (wasn’t an own goal but an awarded goal). The NFL scorigami equivalent of a 6-1 win.

Isn’t it weird that at the end of Twister that Bill and Jo start making out in front of their grad students and postdocs? I have never been on a research cruise where the PIs start making out in front of everyone. Maybe it’s a severe storms thing that oceanographers miss out on.

Gotta clean up those sloppy PATs if we wanna win this thing

To celebrate the first day of football, the National Hurricane Center is doing their best to make the forecast look like a zone defense.

Last night I made the Tim Walz hotdish. It was really good and reheated very nicely for lunch today. Hotdish America is the America I want my family to live in.

Wearing my Wegmans employee of the month shirt at Wegmans is my mid-life crisis equivalent of a 45 year old woman who posts photos of herself wearing her high school cheerleader uniform. #StillGotIt

When I earned that shirt I was a mere wegboy but that day I became a wegman.

I was fortunate enough to be there when Rick Jeanneret's name was forever raised into the rafters. Last year he stopped by Raleigh with some other Sabres legends and I was able to snag a photo with him.

Absolute class act and will be missed.

15 years ago, we developed an idealized air-sea-wave coupled model of a hurricane making landfall. It originally ran on a HPC that is probably less powerful than your laptop.

Now that coupled model is providing a high-resolution 3km 10-day forecast for the entire archipelago of Indonesia, 4x a day.

Easy conversion guide for Bills fans in Jakarta on how to convert from pointing towards Mecca to pointing towards Orchard Park... 82º to the right.

Don't forget to always show your work.

Go Bills.

Paul Hamilton can't yet block me here, and that is very good for my self esteem.
