Took some time to process that I married the love of my life @dhencoco a few weeks ago. It was just a perfect weekend, down to the weather.
Thanks for agreeing to put up with me a little while longer ❤️ – at University City, MO

2:24 pm yesterday: 78 degrees 🥵
8:00 am this morning: 15 degrees 🥶
That's a drop of 63 degrees in less than 18 hours at Lambert (STL)! 📉
This rivals the temperature drop of the infamous "blue norther" event in November of 1911, where STL had a drop of 64 degrees. #stlwx

Long time followers here know that I don’t do politics, and there’s no political content on this account. I vote; and that’s it. The world does not need another social media nitwit telling people how to think and vote. 
This post is not about politics, but about support for my friends that work for the National Weather Service, part of NOAA, a federal agency.
NWS meteorologists work long, hard hours serving the people of this country, not only during times of severe weather, but on the routine days as well.
Their surface and upper air observation networks along with computer models, radars, and satellites are critical for all meteorologists, including those of us in the private sector. 
Most NWS field offices are currently understaffed right now. I can only imagine morale is not especially high. 
Many high-level politicians follow this page, both Democrats and Republicans. I would encourage them and all of you to support my colleagues at the National Weather Service during this time. Their service is absolutely invaluable. 
If NWS products and services are reduced, we all suffer…especially during times of life-threatening weather.

For anyone who cares about NWS, I'd implore you to write to your congressman/congresswoman and tell them that we are public safety. Meteorologists at the US Forest Service have their exemption. But for now, NWS is not being seen as public safety by someone who is crucial in this”

Shared with my by an NWS Meteorologist:
NWS is potentially in trouble. We are struggling to get our public safety exemption approved from higher ups in the government. Without the exemption, we could face steep cuts. 1/2
Matt Beitscher retweeted
After hearing some of the latest rumblings about cuts coming to the NWS, I decided to write my congressman, expressing my deep concerns about the potential catastrophic impacts this could have on the public. I urge everyone in the weather/chase community to do the same.
