Budding storm chaser, long time wx nerd. Not a professional met, just autistic. Also a huge Star Wars nerd. Queer. He/him.

#Wx Mesonet technician, storm spotter, BSci in CompSci. Views my own, not employers, etc.
This is the balloon/sonde in question. Smaller than the one the NWS uses and it didn’t go as high, but it did get about 4200 meters at least - think it got higher but i gotta check. It was SO cool!!!

This was part of the stuff I left on display in my apartment when cleaning for my dad’s girlfriend to come over. Hoping it was subtle yet effective enough at communicating that I fall more on the Left side of the spectrum, lol. She’s reportedly also more left leaning than my dad, so…

I also had a NOAA sign - albeit in Atlanta!! #HandsOff #HandsOffAtl #HandsOffNOAA !

Finally got around to editing (some) of the footage from our 3/15 chase. These are some of my favorite lightning shots from that day that I've gone through so far.

So i went to my state's #standupforscience protest. I wasn't planning on speaking OR anything else but...ended up scribbling something together and speaking to everyone in support for our federal workers and NOAA in particular as well, heh....But I would have regretted it if I didn't speak up.

Flashing lights warning!!!

Went storm chasing in GA last night, briefly went into AL but then came back fairly soon. Managed to get these gorgeous bolts with a borrowed GoPro mounted on my windshield. #stormchasing #lightning #wxsky #stormphotography #skywx

This is another one of my characters and this one isn't 100% complete per fiancee but I freaking love it. This is set to my home screen, and they're one of my star wars characters.

I'll post some stuff she's made for me, bc a) talented and b) examples of some of her work. This first one is one of my DND characters, a dragon born. currently set as my lock screen!

Went storm chasing this morning. Was very close to part of a cell that *really really wanted* to spin up by accident (missed it when i was finding a place to park). You can see the top two hooks trying easily but the attempt a bit further down I didn't see till after I parked, whoops.

A picture of my #cat, looking absolutely adorable inside one of my bookbags (she did not want me to leave again, she's living with my dad atm). I miss her 😭, but unfortunately I would hate to leave her alone in my apartment while I'm gone at work. So until she wouldn't be alone she's w/ my dad.

Let me see if i can dig it up real fast....here. it is definitely nowhere near as specific as Tech's is though, for sure.

I'm genuinely about to cry, whoever bought these THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. genuinely this means so much.

After i tried sledding (the top layer had iced, so was not able to sled), i gave into the impulse to roll and here's the proof, lol.

Here's a picture i took as the sun rose and the snow slowed. It was absolutely stunning.

A cool cloid pic I took after the storms rolled through last Sunday.

An admittedly semi-blurry blurry picture of one of our #mesonet stations. This one was due for a temp/humidity probe change, which I did before taking this pic. It was chilly that day!

Here's my submission for #39arcane! This is probably the most I've spent on a piece of art, but I do love Arcane a lot so....worth it.

Sort of meant to tell a bit of a story...there's a hat right in the middle of the two at the bottom that tells the begining.

This *might* be the end of a funnel cloud from this morning. It's not the best zoom but timing and radar from the time seems to match.....might have gotten my first funnel as it dissipated? #skywx #wxsky #tornado (maybe).

Speaking of #Mesonet stuff...my truck's tire blew on the way back Thursday from my sites that day. I had one more I was gonna do (and had decided to push to Thursday morning since it was close to home base before the tire blew), but that site is obv gonna wait till after Christmas to get done, lol.

Hot chocolate obtained.

One awesome thing about living in my own apartment is that I can have my pride flags out and visible, and no one can get weird about them. #trans #asexual #queer

Again, as long as I'm getting enough sleep, waking up early enough to be on the road in time to see sunrise is 100% worth it.

The benefits of getting up early to get ahead of the oncoming rain to check on your #mesonet stations with your boss: beautiful sunrises. #wxsky #sunrise #wxphotography

#Sunset from the other night. Absolutely gorgeous. It didn't look exactly like this it was more blue and yellow but this is still a STUNNING photo of it.

One last photo for the day from this past week. Had some really nice skies overall while I was out training honestly. Not always clear but usually very pretty to look at.
