Timelapse of the build...

I made a legit Aggro Crag for my kids in the back yard with the snowblower. I had done it after last month's storm, so I had a base to start with, but it's now roughly 7 feet tall, has a built-in slide and stairs, and I bet my neighbors think I'm insane.

Alright, deck. You win. See you in June.

Something truly amazing about this storm in New England is the pure depth of the DGZ during the first half of the event. Nearly 4 km deep with almost full overlap with the best vertical motion. This is remarkable and will lead to our 2-3 in/hr rates for several hours later today #mawx

It has been a nightmare trying to find a neurologist in Boston who works w/ TS. I found one in Burlington but when I need to talk about med changes, even as an existing patient, I can't get an appointment within a YEAR. I am glad you were able to find support. So many flounder just trying to get in.

Now that’s a lot of different cloud types!

Today marks 10 years since I defended my dissertation. According to AMS, I am now mid-career. Yikes!
