🏈 Today is the 75th anniversary of the "Snow Bowl," the #Michigan - #OhioState football game that had such awful weather that the teams punted a combined 45 times. Gametime temperatures were in the teens and 7.5" of snow fell that day.

When I was working on today's weather newsletter, I was struck by how today's record low of -3 is so starkly different than yesterday's and tomorrow's (10 and 11, respectively). And then I noticed that year, 1880, had several *more* record cold days at this time — five out of six, in fact! (1/2)

Local news outlet had this as the forecast for today. It is not slushy, and it certainly has not looked like it was going to be slushy for some time.
If you're going to have weather, have a meteorologist.

Did the last mow of the season this morning. Glad I don't have to mess around with gas or oil.

Still needs some work, but I'm mostly there getting Google Sheets to import the WPC list of forecast near/new records and assigning the lat/lon to the station codes to export as a CSV.
I'll confess that I've used ChatGPT to work through the vibe coding.

If they could make it so a user can click-drag on these charts to tighten the time range, that would be so amazing.

When you rely on automation and people who don't know about the thing they're writing about, you get stuff like this.
Literally every single day has, climatologically, some amount of rain. Will this forecast article say "this day is usually a bit wet" 365 days a year? That's wrong and useless.

When I was pulling plants out of the garden and pots, I was really enjoying the warmth of the sun. It'll be a little while before we have a day like today again!

🎅Hung the lights and wreath today, since that's a heck of a lot easier to do when the weather is nice and my fingers aren't freezing. Kid didn't have school today, so she helped (gave me hooks... and knew to call 911 if I fell 🙃)

Mine is far from the loudest opinion in the room, but I still firmly take the position of defending the semi-annual time change: buckeyeweatherbuzz.substack.com/i/177830118/...
