With the unfortunate demise of Tweetbot, my time on Twitter has plummeted. Can’t believe some of you willingly choose to use this atrocious official app 😂 So I’m going to call it quits after 13 years. I’ll periodically check notifications, but other than that…sayonara! 👋

@ChaseThomason Hi Chase, you may be interested in a new BAMS article I was involved in that touches on a long standing, incorrect interpretation that rotation of tornadoes originates from aloft within the storm. doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D…

Check out this landspout 🌪️ taken today around noon. Spin originates near the ground and not within the storm like a normal tornado. Pretty cool! #utwx 📍 Daybreak, South Jordan, Utah 📷 Brandon Isom

WOW. What a year for Hawaii volcanoes. Too bad @BriceCoffer managed to thread the needle between eruptions when he visited 😉

@RideBustang are there any snowstang trips on 1/2/23?

New paper alert! This has been out in EOR for a while, but the final published version just got posted today. Co-authors: @BriceCoffer , @CameronJNixon , @JakeMulholland1, @JTAllen3 , twitterless Chris Nowotarski, and twitterless Matt Parker. journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…

@keithsherburn @cedavenportwx @larson_climate @kovacik23 @wx_cruz @KathieDello @katcampbellwx @lh0ch unfortunately no go for me, between 3 months of field work and a conference in May, my spring is booked solid. Glad we’re finally getting an official alumni reception though!

📢NCSU Meteorology alumni! Join us for our alumni reception at AMS in Denver. RSVP: linkedin.com/events/ncstate… (@cedavenportwx @kovacik23 @wx_cruz @KathieDello @katcampbellwx - help us circulate this to our alumni!)

@keithsherburn @DopplerChase @AMSSevereStorms in addition to concerns with federal employees, many universities are extremely resistant to use travel funds internationally unless they were specifically written as such when the grant was awarded

Don't forget to take the AMS survey on a potential international location for a future SLS Conference - the survey closes today! Your input would be very much appreciated! See your email from 'AMS Meetings' for the link!

That impulse trip to Hawaii I booked in a couple weeks is either looking very fortuitously timed or quite unfortunately timed. Not sure which one yet…

@Gewitter_Blitz thanks Milind! I really appreciate that

Reviewer 1: best initial submission I've read in a while Reviewer 2: great manuscript that definitely fills a gaps in our understanding ... Reviewer 3: I don’t see anything here that’s particularly novel, reject

@RissaRWx nah Spanish commentary all the way….GOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL

@RissaRWx I’ve found similarly frustrating quality for Fox on many of my apple devices. Peacock Telemundo much better quality on apple tv. Even the standard apps on my TV are working better than the fox app on apple

@DrAaronHill 🙋‍♂️

Home office views ain’t too bad today

@OKTornadoDB @pveals @JonDopplerWX the simplest answer is almost always the best. In this case, the weather observer was likely mistaken and there was no “glowing” tornado, especially since nothing of the sort has been observed since doi.org/10.1080/004316…

@pveals @JonDopplerWX @BriceCoffer It is noted that is an A I image. Never claimed to be real

By request, the "glowing tornado" - The Blackwell F5 of May 25, 1955. The likely cause is St. Elmo's fire, but theories persist, too. It heavily damaged or destroyed a chunk of Black and claimed 20 lives. Thankfully the odd glowing helped to warn people of the oncoming tornado.

Train to Santa Fe #30SLS

@StonyBrook_RAM 🙏🙏🙏 as someone who forgot NCAR computing resources had a scheduled outage this week, you may have just saved my bacon

@BriceCoffer A few days ago, I tried uploading an old ppt file as a test and it gave me next day pickup as an option at that location. I also called that location to confirm that they have poster printing and that everything is functioning normally and they said yes.

#30SLS poster tip of the day, for those who may need it 😀 Can’t wait for tomorrow’s virtual poster session!

Not realizing NCAR computing resources have a scheduled outage the week before I head to a conference is exactly how I wanted to start my Monday 🤬

trying something new and sharing a pre-print, mainly because I’m pretty excited about this and I spent a long time working on something I wasn’t excited about…🤷‍♂️

Low-level mesocyclone intensification does not appear to require additional horizontal vorticity in the forward flank; instead, the dominant contributor to vertical vorticity is from the environmental horizontal vorticity

Case of the Mondays? Procrastinate a bit more by taking a look at what I’ve been working on… What can the origins of inflow air into supercell low-level mesocyclones tell us about the source of their rotation? *Not peer-reviewed, any feedback welcome! arxiv.org/abs/2210.03715
