I miss the days when Twitter was fun & informative.

Hello again! Here's our piece from Sunday about Twitter. Bye! https://t.co/KqA7EUY18B

#XmasJames is back!

@Ashevegas Cheers!

@HistoryBoutique I appreciate your publicity about WNC but it sucks that Laura pivoted to right wing propaganda. It is the GOP house that refused to go back into session to approve more FEMA aid & Trump has an awful record on disaster response. His French fry award photo op in Swannanoa was 🤮

One caller asked for help finding her brother. Another needed info about evacuation routes. A third worried if a nearby dam was about to burst. And many callers said "I'm just so proud of my neighbors."

Local radio in western North Carolina is a literal lifeline right now 🧵

@wxbrad Brad, we need more snow.

[Jake Frankel @JakeFrankel]

😢😢😢

[NWS GSP @NWSGSP]

Feel like its been a while since you last saw snow outside the mountains? Well, we checked the records and it has been a long time. Can this winter bring any measurable snow? Guess we will have to wait and see.

Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material, traveling at 100 miles per second, shoot off the sun. Earth's magnetic field deflects most of it, but not all. The solar wind, a stream of charged particles, flows at 447 km/s (1 million mph), and while the magnetic field protects us, some particles still cause auroras and geomagnetic storms.

Congratulations to Prem Rawat who recently held a lecture in front of 375,603 people 😳

The hour long lecture titled 'Know Thyself' was given in Hindi to residents of Gaya in Bihar.

I’d say that @PatrickMcHenry might prefer to stay on the job as House Finance Committee Chair because it is a lot of power with less stress, but could end up a reluctant Speaker. #ncpol #wnc #Speaker

Remember when Al Gore’s slideshow was going to save the world?

Is hip hop still bigger than the government?

I’ve become the kind of person I despise, the kind of person who never wants to leave West Asheville.

[Evan Fisher @EFisherWX]

It is almost certainly photographable from the high terrain of WNC right now, I hope someone is on it!!!
