This is possibly my favorite time-lapse that I've ever taken. Watching the colors explode then transition thru the spectrum is spectacular.

@latterdaylaura @TheMrsFarnum It’s quite literally what you wrote. All they did was read.

@TheMrsFarnum lol you all are reading way too much into this.

My super strong parenting opinion is that while the kids are awake, you come last. No spending all of Saturday golfing. That’s family time. 6 am tee time only, maybe. Wanna go to the gym? Go after the kids go to bed, or wake up at 5. In a few short years, they’ll be out of the house and you’ll have all the time in the world for your own stuff. It’s okay to come last for a while.

Incredible Kelvin-Helmholtz rotors above the front range this morning

The Morrill Fire (Nebraska) is estimated at 453 thousand acres this afternoon. Explosive growth in two days with another critical fire weather day tomorrow. Fuels across much of the western plains and Colorado are exceptionally receptive to fire right now and this is an example of what can happen when an ignition combines with extremely critical fire environments.

I have not seen a supercell be that prolific of a very large to giant hail (2.75-5”+) producer in a very long time.

Just your classic March supercell in northern Illinois containing giant hail and (significant?) tornado

@SNHWx I miss that place

@TTrogdon From NOAA in Boulder

I have not seen snowflakes this large in a long time. At least half dollar sized on average with numerous aggregates 1.5”.

Reports of thundersnow in Superior, CO @BianchiWeather

@MattJHarris85 A source of ongoing trauma originated in my childhood - unhealthy post 😂

Couldn’t wait until Selection Sunday to dig up old trauma.

@James_LNK I thoroughly enjoyed that tweet

@TTrogdon Hah! Lol local news makes it to a favorite meteorologist

“Due to the road missing”

These visuals coming out of the main snow band confirm that this was in fact a generational storm. Absolutely unreal.

@wxmann If that happens I’ll buy you a beverage.

@TTrogdon You’re going to get your random snowstorm in April and you’re going to like it

Asking on behalf of Coloradoans on the front range mired in drought and constant fire weather concerns - can we please have a little?

@swrightCO It’s the worst

@TTrogdon for real 😭 they have had plenty

Contraction

This snow band is an all-timer. When we go back in post-analysis, we’ll likely see that this produced a foot of snow in just 3-4 hours if not less. Supported by incredible lift within the ascending branch of the frontogenetic circulation, it follows that this band won’t weaken but will contract through time. Whoever remains within that contraction will likely see 3+ FEET of snowfall by storm’s end.

A snow report of 35” has come in from North Kingston, Rhode Island. #riwx

**ALL-TIME RECORD** Providence is up to 32.8" and counting, surpassing the Blizzard of '78. Records date to 1904. Still snowing. #wbz
