Great evening for taking my daughter to her first rodeo.

Experts gave OU almost no chance (5.9%), but they won the World Series against some really good teams. But go ahead and tell me how meteorologist are always just guessing what the weather will be like. #BoomerSooner

Had a great time today talking meteorology, instruments, and research with the 43 finalists to be Team USA (4 person) at the Earth Science Olympiad. Some of the best discussions and questions I have ever had. Team USA will be a strong team with these bright minds.

Am I starting to sparkle or am I starting to grow fur?

My current location just issued a Heat Advisory for a high of....84F. I am NOT in Oklahoma and enjoying every minute.

I just got my one-of-a-kind, limited edition, rare, University of Oklahoma School of Meteorology faculty trading cards. I wonder if I will see any of these on eBay?

Timeline Cleanse: My dogs are part of a fundraising campaign for the University of Oklahoma's College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences. I am not sure how the photographer got these shots amongst the craziness of the photoshoot.

I am Olympics bound !!!!!

Kiddo to me: "You know what your hair looks like? A tornado because it has swirls and is grey." Ouch. Hit with the truth bomb at lunch.

Up in Chicago with a few thousand of my new friends celebrating St. Patrick's Day. My daughter loves interacting with the "funny people". She is getting her first experience of fun drunk people and is ready for the parade.

Having a university bus hit your meteorological research area due to a vehicle accident was not on my agenda for today.

My university's marketing department came and took photos of my instrumentation class. Here are a couple of me in action. Be on the lookout in the near future marketing items from the University of Oklahoma with more photos of the class.

Nothing like watching USA win Olympic gold with your daughter. Core memory created.

GOAL !!!!!!!!!!!

This hits a little too close to home.

Anyone want any Girl Scout cookies? My daughter is selling again this year so she can spend a night at a museum. I love that she chose that goal. You can also find me at the NWC or go to digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/olivia...

A new year of Univ. of Oklahoma meteorology students learning to install, wire, and program weather stations in my course. This year the stations are built with the National Weather Center watching over them.

I got excited for a moment until I realized it was our black labrador.

Packed house for the first day of Measurements class at the Univ. of Oklahoma. Record setting enrollment. Looking forward to teaching all of them the joys and pains of dealing with meteorological instruments.

Had a wonderful day teaching professors, scientists, and students from Peru on how to build and deploy weather stations. This station was deployed to study the micrometeorology and soil conditions under cedar groves.

Had a great day installing micrometeorological and soil stations at the University of Oklahoma's Kessler Atmospheric and Ecological Field Station with students and faculty. This is just the beginning of the suite of sites at the field station to collect data for current and future research.

Another calendar year in the books. 2025 ranked 7th out of the past 19 years that I have been tracking rainfall at my house in Norman, OK, USA. A very wet spring was countered by the very dry fall and winter.

Some days you are out in the elements and some days you are in the cozy lab configuring weather stations for an upcoming deployment. These stations will be part of a research micronet and also training for international partners.

Had a great time being pied in the face for helping raise money for weather disaster relief in Jamacia and Alaska. What a great cause and excited to see students, faculty, staff, and others contribute to the efforts.

Had a great time video chatting with kindergarteners about hurricanes and the weather. They had some great questions and Hurricane Melissa is giving them a real-time demonstration of the power of a hurricane.

Breaking edge technologies in their respective eras almost 100 years apart.

So a relative of mine is making headlines on all of the news networks right now. I guess I should turn off notifications on social media for a bit.

The School of Meteorology and College of Atmos. & Geog. Sci. at the Univ. of Oklahoma is looking for a Researcher with experience in field work and instrumentation. Message me if you need more information. Apply at the link below.

I had a great time this week talking with kids from three classes (Kinder, 2nd, and 5th grade) out in Oconee County, Georgia about being a meteorologist, fun weather information, and interesting places I have traveled doing my job. It gives me so much joy seeing the curiosity of our next generation.

Had a wonderful time talking to the amazing people associated with the Oklahoma Homeless Alliance on how they can use weather data to assist our unhoused population. They were quite interested in Wet Bulb Globe Temperature and its utility.
