1124a- Current solar radiation in Acton, MA is 31 W/m^2. Wild. #mawx
Dear Dr. Subscriber, I hope this mail finds you well. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to participate as a speaker at the Annual Global Summit on Recycling and Sustainable Waste Management (AGSRECYCLING2026) in Prague, Czech Republic. 🤔
My 8-yo daughter and I have been in the ER at Boston Children's for almost 40 hours after having been in another ER for 22 hours last weekend. We're both restless, exhausted, and ready for a bed to open up at an appropriate hospital. We've been here before, and it's just as hard each time 😔
Well, sir, there's nothin' on Earth like a genuine, bona-fide, electrified, six-acre data center! What'd I say? Data center!
The Verge@theverge.com · 3mo agoMayor Scott Furgeson was caught on camera saying of the “No Data Center” signs going up that, “I’ve seen a lot of these all over town, but I only see them in shitty houses,” before adding, “most of them are rentals.”
The fastest single mile I ever ran, at the peak of my fitness in life, was 5:19. This was fast enough to be placing in league-level high school meets with 7-8 teams. 4:33 is absurd in its own right; and as a whole, this is something I wasn't sure I'd ever see.
Chris Vagasky@coweatherman.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis is absolutely amazing. On par with breaking the 4 minute mile. And in our society, it won’t get the same sort of attention it deserves. WE HAD TWO RUNNERS BREAK 2 HOURS IN THE MARATHON. 4:33 per mile for 26.2 miles!
I was curious where the ultimate "weather nerd" place to live in MA might be. I used IEM to count the number of svr, tor, winter storm, and blizzard warnings from 2008-2025. Each was normalized individually and then overall. The winner at 2.5-km res was, funny enough, Acton! At 100 m, it's Warren.
I made a legit Aggro Crag for my kids in the back yard with the snowblower. I had done it after last month's storm, so I had a base to start with, but it's now roughly 7 feet tall, has a built-in slide and stairs, and I bet my neighbors think I'm insane.

Timelapse of the ~16” of snowfall Sunday and Sunday night in Acton, MA @wx1box.bsky.social #mawx
Something truly amazing about this storm in New England is the pure depth of the DGZ during the first half of the event. Nearly 4 km deep with almost full overlap with the best vertical motion. This is remarkable and will lead to our 2-3 in/hr rates for several hours later today #mawx
Beautiful. 9-10” total over 36 hours, with bright sunshine to make it sparkle
