Vivian Irene Danielson - Born March 24th, 2026 We are so excited to share that Vivian did not want an April birthday and decided to join us a month before her due date on March 24th weighing 6lbs even. She is home now and doing great. We could not be more in love with her! ❤️

Whatever IT is for a basketball team, this @ValpoBasketball team had IT! The amount of passion, joy, and togetherness this team played with was an inspiration and so much fun to watch. The whole @ValpoU community is behind you and we can’t wait to see what next season will bring!

Why would I ever switch? Beacon 4L Lets Rak 🫡

JT Pettigrew announces he is returning to @ValpoBasketball for the 2026-27 season. Significant. #MVCHoops

Amazing win & incredible season! @RogerPowellJr went straight to the student section after the win & called the team over. That gave me chills. Brings me back to when I was a student in 2011-2015. We win as team and that includes fans! Good on you @RogerPowellJr Valpo is back!!

I find it hard to fathom that two ensemble systems are this much different in such a near term forecast. There’s a 15° difference in the mean low temps Saturday night (48 hr forecast!). Every ensemble member below -2° on the Euro and every member above +2° for the GFS. #COwx 🤯

THIS SHOT BY JUSTUS MCNAIR FROM HALF-COURT FOR THE WIN 🤯 Valparaiso comes back from a 22-point deficit to defeat Western Michigan 🔥

Justus McNair. Winner. #MVCHoops

SHE SAID YES!!! The happiest day of my life! Everything worked out perfectly. I love you so much Iva!

Wedding yesterday, vacation today! I love the way Iva looks at me!

@ZachBruick @BianchiWeather @NWSBoulder @ValpoWeather @ValpoStorm Thanks so much! Those were some amazing days at Valpo! This should be an interesting storm. In the worst case scenario, some of us could have to stay at the office. It’s always kinda fun putting together discussions for major systems.

@BianchiWeather @NWSBoulder @RussDanielson22 He taught me how to storm chase back and write great AFDs with @ValpoWeather and @ValpoStorm. Glad he got the honor of putting together the discussion for the biggest storm of the year!

Local weather nerds: Excellent forecast discussion this afternoon written by @NWSBoulder's @RussDanielson22. Detailed with lots of info about potential impacts from the upcoming storm: #COwx forecast.weather.gov/product.php?si…

One NWS IMET (incident meteorologist) deployment to Colorado for fire weather in 2023 was credited with saving 2,000 homes and over $1 billion in damage. It cost them $15,000 to deploy. Weather and climate are economic issues. #AMS2024

I had a great time yesterday exploring Colorado National Monument. The sun was hitting perfectly on Independence Monument! It was just me and the bighorn sheep.

Nice storm rolling into Boulder! #COwx

@acaseofthegolf1 @TVBOren Here’s a good idea for the next Victory Bell article if you haven’t already begun a story on him!

Caleb VanArragon a 5th year senior at Valpo won the Minnesota open last week by nine. Tomorrow he will tee off in the final round of the Minnesota Am with an 8 shot lead. That seems good.

Fortunately, there was no loss of life from the tornadoes. While it is always terrible to hear of damage, there were reports that the warnings may have saved a couple lives.

Wow! It’s very cool to be part of NWS history. I may have issued the most tornado & severe warnings in a single day by a single forecaster. Our analysis ended up finding 36(!) tornadoes so the excessive amount of warnings was definitely warranted! #COwx weather.gov/bou/Tornadoes_…

Brief landspout tornado north of Watkins at 3:55pm! #COwx

Saw two moose on the Lost Lake trail today! So cool! Awesome time hanging out and hiking with @mgroverwx!

@WeatherNation Yes, go ahead!

@RussDanielson22 Great shot @RussDanielson22! Would @weathernation have permission to share this video on-air and online with full credit to you?

Just unloading in Superior! Largest hail estimated at about dime size. #COwx
