The beautiful award presented to me by my terrific colleagues at the California Department of Water Resources along with some thoughts of mine.

I'm so incredibly honored to have won this award and am thankful to work with such amazing people!

What goes great with a Friday? Supporting your favorite snow lab but picking up some sweet swag!

Support our high-impact research, community data, and our continued operations. Plus, they look awesome!

Check out the awesome stuff we have to offer here- https://t.co/RMv3j4Rb2r

I talk a lot about snow, the @UCB_CSSL, and our research in this interview but, perhaps the most important part of this interview, especially in an election year, is this-

The study of snowfall and snowpack is the expertise of @snow_d0c , and he’s got a really fascinating way of engaging us with a topic on our latest episode of Radio 2050. Find out more with the link on our profile.

Could be a big/scary day in Oklahoma today👀

Explosive Thunderstorm development is expected within this Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Watch across parts of TX, OK, and KS this afternoon. PDS tornado watches are only issued when multiple strong or violent tornadoes are expected to occur.

Experiencing climate extremes first hand from +30°C to -5°C and 30cm of new snow near Villach, Austria in mid-April makes for a very “messy” snowpack! @snow_d0c @ajw42 @NikCallow @IPE_CSIC

[Andrew Schwartz @snow_d0c]

@HamishMet01 @AdrienAustralia Misread that at first and thought you said AUSTRALIAN Alps and was very confused about the scenery in the picture. Absolutely beautiful though!

[Andrew Schwartz @snow_d0c]

I should mention that @HamishMet01 @NikCallow did a lot of work in this area themselves before I came into it.

[Andrew Schwartz @snow_d0c]

Very excited that our paper on a new 'Marginal' class of snowpack has been published!

These are shallow, warm, nearly constantly isothermal, undergo multiple accumulation/ablation phases, and are expanding due to climate change. Check it out here 👇

@TysonMillar Thanks! Nacho did a great job leading the effort and corralling a solid group of people.

[Neil Lareau @nplareau]

These fast moving cells are not great, in my experience, at yielding high snowfall totals (as compared to solid stratiform precip shield), and at this point in the storm I’d say the mesoscale details are working against some of the high-end predicted totals. Long way to go…

[Andrew Schwartz @snow_d0c]

@nplareau Couldn't agree more and have been thinking the same thing. I think we're on the lower to mid range of the forecast now. Will be interesting to see if it becomes more uniform with the better forcing later today.

February's Storms (more than) Doubled CA Snowpack, March Could Bring More Wet Weather

“We’ve kind of clawed our way back into being a decent year.” @snow_d0c @UCB_CSSL. "To be around average is kind of nice for once."

A banana slug warning has been issued for the Santa Cruz mountains…. ( am I the only one that sees slugs when I look at the core segments?)

[Andrew Schwartz @snow_d0c]

I was delighted to have the chance to speak with Melissa Hobson at @NatGeo last week about #snow, its importance, and what a loss of snow will do as climate change progresses.

Here's the terrific story that she put together!

@nplareau Congrats, man! Well deserved!

[Andrew Schwartz @snow_d0c]

The first big snowfall of the year always takes me back to being a kid on the Colorado front range. So much anticipation and excitement!

How much will we get? What will the worst conditions be like? So many fun thoughts and questions.

[Andrew Schwartz @snow_d0c]

Very excited to be speaking with @DrShepherd2013 on the Weather Geeks show this week!

[Weather Geeks Podcast @WeatherGeeks]

We are only halfway through November, but we're already thinking of SNOW! 🌨️

This week, we're sitting down with @snow_d0c to talk about his unique job at the Central Sierra Snow Lab (@UCB_CSSL). WATCH or LISTEN: https://t.co/c5jcqYgJB2

@dfosterhill @SanduskyMicah @WebbHydrology Oh, that sounds great if you're happy to send it my way.

A terrific opportunity for someone interested in doing their PhD in #fire weather and pyrocumulonimbus cloud structure from one of our partners at the University of Queensland Atmospheric Observations Research Group in Australia!
