I'm biased given I have lived in Alaska for nearly four years now, but it really irks me when all these media outlets misquote NOAA citing July 2026 as the warmest month on record for the CONUS as the warmest for the U.S, period. Alaska, a huge landmass, had a below average July!

...and Alaska is often colder when it is warmer in the CONUS and vice versa, although there is actually a unified warm stretch ongoing right now.

I was always into geoscience including weather, but it was that night just after midnight that I decided I wanted to pursue meteorology as a profession. 13 years...
Today is the 13th anniversary of the 2013 El Reno tornado and Oklahoma county flash flooding, a devastating event that produced the widest tornado on record and tragically claimed the lives of 22 people.

I've been using paint.NET as my primary image editor since I was like 16 and started using it to edit satellite images. Then it just became my standard go-to image editor. Very nice to see them finally get the domain (and not have to fix the blue link here either)!
I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

Just went above freezing at PAFA for the first time since Halloween as of 5:10 PM! Kind of disappointing to only tie instead of break the record for latest ever first thaw given the winter we've been through (just needed one more day!), but too bad, I guess.

#OTD in 2004, a massive 9.1 magnitude #Earthquake struck off the coast of northern Sumatra, #Indonesia. The event unleashed a devastating #Tsunami, caused widespread destruction, and became one of the deadliest disasters in modern history. Learn more here: ow.ly/68M750UwarR

Even in 2015, the biggest objections were from Ohio's congressional delegation, simply because McKinley was an Ohioan.
