These are the stats you never know you needed, until you have them.
Best of luck to you on your next endeavor!
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
I've been concerned about this for weeks now. The new SPC intensity product has HUGE potential for miscommunication. Literally 3 days in, we have a perfect example: Local Media on the day of a deadly EF3 advertising **no risk** of significant tornadoes - directly amplifying the SPC's new product.
Yep. My grandparents were raising kids in the 1950s. My maternal grandfather was a scientist and grandma was a secretary for Coors. My paternal grandfather was military, then worked for prisons. And grandma worked all different jobs, including school lunch lady, King Soopers bakery, Cracker Barrel.
500 mb standardized departures for the Dec-Feb period. There's a +3.5 std. dev. contour over the 4-Corners region.
My Linden tree is budding. It’s usually a late green up (like May!). I’m just flabbergasted at seeing green already.

The big story from this winter is the record heat across the West, which helped to drive a historic snow drought (even despite some areas of heavier precipitation). We'll be covering this and more in our next monthly webinar at @climatecentral.org. Sign up at: www.climatecentral.org/climate-brie...
"Very old." Rude.
40 years?! Ugh, I feel old!! Looking at it now, Welcome Home (Sanitarium) might be my favorite.
graph showing the number of days in December through February with temperatures of 60F or above at Fort Collins, Colorado. This year had 43 which is almost double the previous high of 22.
graph showing the number of days in December through February with daily low above 32F at Fort Collins, Colorado. This year had 19 which is almost double the previous high of 10.
A couple of the wildest graphs I recall making. It's been #warm... at Fort Collins the warmest climatological winter by nearly 4°F! #cowx 🌡️
Northern CO Front Range getting much needed moisture today... in the form of rain. Which gets me thinking about how many rain events we've had in the past few months.
There used to be a time where precip was only snow between Nov - Apr. Or extremely rare. It's happened quite a bit this year!
Amazing, glowing display of gravity wave clouds seen over Indian Peaks west of Boulder Sunday evening!🏔️🌆 #COWx #Boulderwx #colorado

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥
I wonder if this will actually help streamline some of these products more - 1-3 day, 4-7 day, 6-10 day, 8-14 day and hazards outlooks for both.
NOAA has rated the February 22-24, 2026 Nor'easter a Category 3 (out of 5) on the Regional Snowfall Index (RSI) scale.
This places it as the #17 most impactful snow storm event - based on total snowfall, storm size, and societal impact - for the Northeast since 1900.
We need more than IPCC: The IPCC is crucial for assessing climate-change science but is a politically-constrained summary of ONLY the most inarguable core of the science. A GLOBAL RISK ASSESSMENT is needed to clarify the real range of risks & priorities for action.

Having done so much of my academic training with IDL and Matlab, R was a game changer for me. I still use it sometimes. But learning Python has been essential too. I agree that if you only learn one, go with Python.
This is so much better than Big Mac’s at the WH!
Congratulations Mike!!
Dutch Bros employees surprised a shelter volunteer with enough pup cups for every dog in the shelter. 13/10 for all (TT: juliesaraceno2)
Side effects:
1. Not getting pregnant
2. Reducing a mountainous flood of blood
3. Not getting pregnant
4. Minimizing debilitating pain
5. NOT GETTING PREGNANT AND HAVING A BABY!
February monthly snowfall over time at Islip Macarthur Airport. February 2026 is the snowiest February in the record, dating back to 1963. Data and graph from ACIS.
In my analysis of the latest winter storm, I take a look at all the stations that broke or tied a record for most snowfall in a single storm. That's right, Providence wasn't the only record!
Here we see it helped some stations break monthly snowfall records too.

New February monthly record high temperature at Pueblo: 83 °F. Numerous locations in southeast Colorado had highs in the 80s today.

Fair!
Excellent foreshadowing. I'm like, why is there so much white space beyond the average area? 🫠
We use 30 year averages to show climatology (average weather conditions). During the 20th century the UK climatology followed a path around a confined box. With #globalwarming and #climatechange they have escaped out the box. This #dataviz shows UK rainfall and temperature.
Fort Collins number of days with TMAX >= 60°F, December through February. "Fort Collins has recorded 38 60°F days this winter. Previous high was 22 (1980-81). The remaining days in the month are all forecast to be 60 or above (five more).
@rschumacher.cloud on a state call this morning, talking about the crazy warmth we've been experiencing. The number of days Fort Collins has passed 60°F this winter, far surpasses any other winter!
