Thx everybody for keeping an eye out for this bike. It’s our “minivan”. We’ve put 39000kms in 9 years of owning it. It’s not worth much in he black market (aka cannot be cannibalised for parts…) but it’s a huge part of our family rhythm!-)

Aka: This is absolutely amazing Jean. We are so lucky to have been taken on this journey with you & reep the perspectives of life you have shared. It is especially poignant for those of us that have had all-too-personal loses from cancer. Take care J and fuck you cancer!

Isso é absolutamente incrível, Jean. Temos muita sorte de termos embarcado nesta viagem consigo e de colher as perspetivas de vida que partilhou. É especialmente comovente para aqueles de nós que sofreram perdas pessoais por causa do cancro. Cuida-te, J, e foda-se o cancro!

Road trip north through California, through a multi-day atmospheric river (AR3-4). Many slides, much hydroplaning, very high river levels, some flooded sections on 101 & horribly low vis - I don’t recommend. #CAWx #ORWx @caltrans.bsky.social @scrippsocean.bsky.social

Nice. Be ready for brisk temps and potential windchill for the first winter temps of the season so far.

Where is the group chat function in Bsky? Thx

Not the textbook example I briefly saw with my own eyes moments before, but here is the unsung fogbow atop #mountwashington today. Just black&white hues, no colours due to the smaller size of the suspended droplets.

Extremely fortunate to host 2 of my 3 siblings & their families over for a few Christmas days huddled together. I am also thinking about my colleagues in the 24/7 Operational world, diligently forecasting with our safety in mind. & all the other shift workers out there. #ShiftWorkMemories #BCStorm

Lol. Pas seulement Canadienne! Mais bon, ce n’est pas de la tarte! Noel ne sera pas blanc chez moi (île Vancouver)!-(

Oops. Not this pack, i’m just a Cast’Ellan! One of the other climate starters!-)

I feel like there’s still a case for a balance of “field work” in the production of content (meteorological or otherwise), you gotta know your lab!

Hi KH (not to be confused with Kelvin-Helmholtz!), could I please be added to this pack? Thx kindly
