Python scientist users and educators: how long do you want to be warned about deprecated behavior in your research code & classroom examples/exercises before things change? What pace of change do you find acceptable? (This is not about @metpy.bsky.social)

For those who use WxData or any of my other packages, my DMs are open if you would like to provide feedback and you don't want your comments to be public.

I miss these views but I do not miss these driving conditions.
Careful out there tonight, everyone. Roads are already quite slick. (Not to mention the sidewalks.)

This better be a satire. However, after seeing key phrases such as "weather enthusiast" and "storm chaser" I am not so sure.

Happy first day of climatological winter!
And a reminder that, astronomically, the winter solstice is the *middle* of winter, not the start: it's the time of *least* sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere.
Why is that not the coldest day? Takes time for the ocean to cool down & we're a water planet.

After also being on X for a few months, I will say: wxsky >>> wxtwitter. The algorithm prevents my posts from getting any reach and the folks there don't seem interested in software and more interested in what weather content creators post. Not exactly my type of meteorologist crowd.

If I had a very conservative professor who gave us this assignment, my scientific athiest self would make arguments for supporting the view that god doesn't exist as well as sowing doubt into the existence of a higher power and if I failed because of my views, would this same standard be applied?
Absolute debasement of academic standards
*student submits opinion in psych class
*gets bad grade
*instructor says she can make whatever arguments she wants but must draw on empirical sources
*student & Turning Point says her religious freedom & first amendment rights violated
*professor suspended

Thinking of combining WxData with threading to make a data manager console application (Python executable). Also thinking of doing something similar in C# (.NET) to practice my C#. The goal is for the app to do everything running in the background so you won't need to schedule as many tasks.

This is the first Ice Storm Warning issued by the Anchorage NWS office since Nov 2019.
AFC issues Ice Storm Warning valid at Dec 2, 3:00 AM AKST for Interior Kuskokwim Delta, Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak Island, Kuskokwim Valley East, Kuskokwim Valley West [AK] till Dec 3, 9:00 AM AKST Link

One thing that WxData does that I failed to mention before is when there are connection interruptions, the client waits 30 to 60 seconds and then retries downloading the data to prevent incomplete downloads. Here is an example showing this when I downloaded the latest ECMWF IFS dataset this morning.

I wish there were all-time download stats for pip in addition to the downloads per day/week/month (only showing 1 day/week/month).

This new big grey cat started coming around me yesterday and he is the only cat in the complex besides Jaggy who comes up to me and let's me pet them and follows me around. I hope this cat can get along with Jaggy 😸😸😸

Now that senior year of college is 10 years ago for me, it's crazy to compare how we all were as students to how we ended up 10 years later. Some people peaked in college. Others like myself were in a trough in college and are peaking now. And unfortunately for some, they never escaped the trough.
