@Keithwxtech I don’t see the pitot

thinking about trying this chasing thing many of you rant about. rate my setup.

We love seeing our Wind Monitor in action at the top of the world! Check out this incredible @CNN feature w/ Dr. Baker Perry: cnn.com/2025/05/26/cli… #RMYoung #WindMonitor #TopOfTheWorld #ClimateScience #EverestWeather #BakerPerry #ExtremeWeatherTech #RMYinTheField @NatGeo

Epic rainbow along Truckee River in west Reno on Friday May 2nd! @NWSReno @unevadareno

@Keithwxtech Ah the challenges! Cannot simulate this in a lab or wind tunnel!!

They found one tool I 'misplaced'- more interested in the 1/2" combo wrench I left somewhere else. Enclosure was destroyed and turned into a fishbowl, mast folded like a wet noodle. Will need a new enclosure, CR1000X, Baro, Mast, and charge controller. Everything else looks to have survived.

@Keithwxtech Great to have the pitot in the mix and should get some respectable winds soon!! Thank you for all of the help with the testing!

Awesome news Tom, Baker, and team!

Here is the full press release on our Aconcagua Proyecto Wayra @TkrMatthews86 @MWObs @RMYoungCompany unr.edu/nevada-today/a…

Excited to share the below news about a new weather station network on the highest mountain in the Americas. Argentine partners at @ianigla led by Pierre Pitte were exceptional. Excited to watch/analyze data! @TkrMatthews86 @MWObs @InsideNatGeo

A weather geek look at yesterdays graupel fest @AltaSkiArea, including a comparison with the mother of all Alta graupel storms on January 5, 2008 and comparisons with snow extremes in the Andes (h/t @BakerPerry1). wasatchweatherweenies.blogspot.com/2025/02/yester…

@moaleck @EFisherWX @Mtnbiker15 Yep! And we wrote about this possibility in the NC Climate Report, among others topics such as TCs and mountain flooding and debris flows . . .

@EFisherWX @Mtnbiker15 Interesting! @BakerPerry1 and I use to chat about NWFS in a changing climate. Lots of thoughts regarding the role of teleconnections (NAO, AO, PNA, ENSO). But, I remember we also discussed if the great lakes remained unfrozen for more of the winter, could they lead to more NWFS?

Northwest flow (NWFS) accounts for roughly 50% of seasonal snowfall in the high elevations of WNC. For years, we've speculated that these events were becoming less common. I've identified NWFS events (2000-2023) using ERA5 data, and there does seem to be a decrease in frequency.

Our team has just published an article that analyzes snow water equivalent from the SnowFox cosmic ray detector on Mera Glacier in the Nepal Himalaya. Congrats to Navaraj Pokhrel for leading! @UNRScience @appstate @TkrMatthews86 @GlacioBrun @AriKhadka1 tc.copernicus.org/articles/18/59…

Congrats to @Max_VWDV on leading this new paper using our Everest weather station network data. Great application using machine learning to improve forecasts in high mountains. @TkrMatthews86 @InsideNatGeo @ROLEX @UNRScience

@WaterPotential Yes! I had him for Bonkistry as did my father back in the 60s. His lectures were incredible!

Ph.D. opportunity in the Department of Geography at @unevadareno! Application deadline is 15 December 2024 with a start date of August 2025. Details below. @UNRScience @TkrMatthews86 @glacier_glasses @realglacier @GlacioBrun @AriKhadka1 @DrMiriamJackson

@Keithwxtech Looking good!!

Test it 'till it breaks. Going to be a long winter.

@kclgeography @TkrMatthews86 @NatGeoTV @DisneyPlusUK Oh yeah!!!!

Tune into @NatGeoTV or @DisneyPlusUK from this Sunday (13/10) to see 'Expedition Amazon' featuring our very own @TkrMatthews86, as he scales the spectacular Nevado Ausangate to install one of the world's highest weather stations. #PerpetualPlanet kcl.ac.uk/news/national-…

Huge numbers of trees down near Fall Creek VFD Station 1 in Old Beech Mtn, NC (Avery County) from #helene. Electric coop says 4-6 WEEKS for power restoration. Took 5 gallons of gas & 2 days just to clear this section. @VanDamCNN @wxbrad @NWSGSP @WataugaOnline @NCSCO

@TomNiziol Got the data from our mountain top station on Poga Mountain in northern Avery County and had a peak gust of 74.4 mph.

Now that I have Internet access, I thought I’d share a video or two of the height of the storm at 3800 feet in Roan Mountain, Tennessee Friday morning. We expected trees to come down at any moment, with rainfall rates of 2”/hr and wind gusts over 60 mph.

Update on #helene from NC State Climate Office. Thank you Corey Davis, @KathieDello @spheuser climate.ncsu.edu/blog/2024/09/r…

Fall Creek VFD Asst Chief Josh Phillips shared the below video with me from Station 2 on Buckeye Rd (Avery Cty, NC). Road is completely swept away and station is cut off. (Video credit: Josh Phillips, Fall Creek VFD). Urgent need for cell service restoration for comms. @NWSGSP

Absolutely devastating news from Chimney Rock, NC. There are likely many more similar scenes that we will learn about in coming days/weeks. #helene
