I think we saw a "few" snow reports on Saturday and Saturday night across North Carolina... #SpectrumNews1 #ncwx

Checking out the NOAA-20 VIIRS images, it's cool to see the barrier islands coated in #snow, too. #wx #ncwx

Drone footage over Winterville, NC showing #snow as far as the eye can see. A snowstorm to remember.
Officially measured just a touch over a foot at my location, with higher drifts. The biggest storm since March 1980 (December 1989 for the coast) for many parts of North Carolina.

The @NWS has an awesome dashboard for finding pretty much any weather data for thousands of locations.

Working on a personal dashboard using MetPy to produce satellite and radar loops.
Currently using THREDDS, but I want to know which source is better and faster to download (AWS, Google, etc)?
I'm also curious about how to get the colormaps correct for the colorized ABI channels. #ncwx

My old bank just sent me a letter - to my current address - telling me that they need me to update my contact information because they don’t have my current address.

A rare November thunderstorm brings dramatic skies (and lightning) with it as the sun sets this evening.

I really wish I did not have to work tonight and had time to set up for this, but the Samsung did ok.
Seeing some incredible #aurora photos tonight.

Tonight's #aurora definitely beats the one in May 2024 for my area in NC, USA. If the forecast comes to fruition, tomorrow's will be even better.
Incredible.

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating)
The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.
