@KirasEpicTrades Do you think $RR might have its own little short squeeze going?

[Chris Edwards @ChrisEdwardsTV]

@Liathetrader Great stuff! Do you still like BMBL on fundamentals?

(9:30am Wed) Just a reminder that most sirens will be tested at 1pm today as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week. Regrettably, not all communities will test their sirens. If you are part of the leadership of one of those cities or townships, please explain to me why.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

Steve is in heaven on earth making that measurement. As one of TWC’s original ski forecasters, he would get SO enthused at the prospect of a big New England snow. I’m happy he got to experience this!

[Tom Moore @TomMoorewx]

Got a call from Steve Nogueria (of NORLUN trough fame ) a retired meteorologist who I worked in the early days of TWC . He recorded 41 inches at Fall River, Massachusetts with powerful winds !

Study as much maths, physics, neuroscience as you can.

Write on your own, daily.

Read poetry, philosophy, history, classical masterpieces.

Go to museums/galleries to stare at art every now & then.

Daily immersion in nature, even for 10 min only.

Run w/out headsets or phone, only your thoughts.

Listen to slow music.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....

NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr.

Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway.

“He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

Earth experienced its fifth-warmest Jan on record and unusual warmth led to near-record-low Arctic sea ice extent. In honor of “Make a Friend Day”, share it with your latest compadre. Check out our Monthly Global Temp and Precip Analysis to learn more. ▶️ https://t.co/GgLzXRSuUt

Even after 50 years, still the most amazing ski run I’ve ever seen.

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

5 February 1976. In one of the greatest sporting moments, Austrian skier Franz Klammer produced an exceptional and exhilarating run to win the Men’s Downhill gold medal at the Innsbruck Winter Olympic Games.

The cold headed south this weekend is the real deal, with dozens of records possible.

And it won't stop at the border — it will flow deep into the Caribbean.

The eastern United States is forecast to be the coldest place, relative to average, on the planet over the next 10 days.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

The Trump administration says it plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, which is the nation’s premier atmospheric science center. In his announcement of the closing, OMB Director Russell Vought called the center “one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country.”

NCAR, as the center is known, was founded in 1960 and has facilitated generations of breakthroughs in climate and weather science.

The announcement has drawn outcry from meteorologists and climate scientists across the country.

William Brangham recently spoke with Brown University’s Kim Cobb and meteorologist @MatthewCappucci.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

The @NCAR_Science is quite literally our global mothership.

Nearly everyone who researches climate and weather - not only in the US, but around the world - has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) supports the scientists who fly into hurricanes, the meteorologists who develop new radar technology, the physicists who envision and code new weather models, and yes - the largest community climate model in the world. That too.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
