    Tuesday, January 9 Rain and Wind Storm

    in Mid Atlantic

    Posted

    Being an early millennial I do remember being sent home early like an hour early during HS (05-06) because of incoming severe weather in Spotsy so while a lot of folks are griping about the early dismissals, its not like its unprecedented. The running theme seems to be making sure the kids are given a window to arrive home safe.

    Great use of tax dollars.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't spray one snowfall a time ago and some person sued the DOT over an accident they had blaming they didn't treat roads to get out of paying for damages themselves and won. So now its spray all the time just to CYA.

    Interesting, though I do have a minor gripe about the axis points changing from graph to graph.  I just wrapped up a graduate data analytics class where I basically lived in Cognos and had to create visualizations for 2 months, so I've become picky lol.  Not surprisingly, warm/humid is the most frequent pairing.

    I now can't unsee this. I've been facedeep in R creating visualizations and heatmaps on genetic datasets for the past month and the first thing I noticed was "oh hey, probably done in ggplot w/ the viridis package", not the actual data. Not surprised, we do warm/humid well here.

    Glad you mentioned that...we had lost power by the time we went under a tornado warning yesterday, though I still received all alerts on our wx radio with battery backup. What I didn't expect was to get the cell phone based emergency alert for the tornado threat. Is that standard practice for tornado warnings? (That was only the second I've experienced in the 20+ years living in this neighborhood.)

    Yes, I've seen tornado warnings and flash flood warnings get pushed to cell phones which imo is a huge leap since the majority of folks have a cell phone nowadays.
