Red flag warning for Northeast Washington and the Idaho Panhandle for possible dry thunderstorms this afternoon. #WAwx #IDwx #weather

My daughter got to launch two #weather balloons this morning in California! I know many of you aren’t keep on Facebook or Instagram but here’s the link to the video my wife put together if you’re interested: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19CdcsHZSp/?mibextid=wwXIfr […]

Now that I have a couple three real-time maps running I now have a main Ingalls Weather graphics directory page. https://ingallswx.com/graphics/

Hey @ai6yr would you mind it if I get some reoccurring bots posting things like daily PNW lightning strikes on your server? I would set these to auto delete after a month or so.

New on ingallswx.com - real-time lightning maps for the Pacific Northwest and B.C. Interior! A few different displays here, all located at the following link: https://ingallswx.com/graphics/real-time-data/lightning/ Map domains: - Whole Pacific Northwest (US […] [Original post on ai6yr.org]

There will be a temporary lapse in graphics creation at ingallswx.com while I resize the droplet.

I now have air quality flowing on my self updating weather spreadsheet. The Ingalls Earth Observatory is becoming quite comprehensive. #weather

Today on the webzone I now have weather alert maps for the Pacific Northwest, Columbia Basin, and Portland area updating every ten minutes. These maps pull directly from the National Weather Service and package it in a way that I find to be more visually appealing […] [Original post on ai6yr.org]

Today's #garden pickings 8 cherry tomato 15 roma tomato

This isn’t the worst smoke I’ve ever seen in the Columbia Basin but I think this is the worst my body has handled it. I’m doing fine but my throat definitely feels tighter than usual. Being inside doesn’t help much because we’re doing a full-scale renovation. I guess that’s probably why I’m […]

I was going to get up some more maps to the website today but they're taking longer to tweak than expected so it may not happen until tomorrow or next week.

I got my new PurpleAir sensor today and have set it outside. Currently reading a US AQI of 194. Maybe I'll start calling my house the Ingalls Earth Observatory. #ORwx #AirQuality

@ingalls see also gas boiler (UK) that doesn’t boil anything, water or gas!

Why do we call it a hot water heater? If the water is already hot it doesn’t need to be heated.

@ingalls EVs have a mechanical interlock that isolates the traction battery from the rest is the car when parked / off. The 12V battery is what connects that interlock when you turn the car on (and in some EVs, like my Bolt you can hear it - it’s a quiet and brief whine). Plus all the […]

Everyone, I have successfully replaced the 12v battery in my car.

Replacing the 12v battery in my car and I have been foiled by my 10 mm socket wrench going missing. Seems kinda silly for an EV to need a 12v battery for starting but I’m sure there’s a good reason for it.

Sesame Street put out a website about how to talk to kids during natural hazards and other disasters. It's cute, but also quite well done #EmergencyManagement https://sesameworkshop.org/topics/emergencies/

How long would I have to leave a brick of Tillamook cheese outside before it gains a smoky flavor?

I love working remotely. My daughter spent most of the day just hanging out in my office with me and when I put her to bed this evening she said working with me was her favorite part of the day.

Canning season has begun. We husked a couple hundred ears of corn this evening. It’s a fun tradition that many #LDS families share. Both my wife and I grew up canning large quantities of produce every year.
