So first of all... WOW!!! What an event May 10-11 was! I took over 500 pics and got SO MANY good shots.
But looking it all over after editing, I gotta say... I think this one is my personal favorite 🥰

I’ve reached my new home ❤️
I’m over-the-moon excited to announce I’ve accepted a job at NWS Glasgow starting mid-Oct
What started as a volunteering opportunity in SHV has snowballed into a full time job here in MT and I couldn’t be happier!
Exciting things are yet to come 🥰
Life Update: I’m thrilled to officially announce that I’ve accepted a lateral transfer to NWS Great Falls starting mid-January!!! 🎉
I’m so excited for the new opportunities and new adventures the lie ahead!! 🥰
y'all I just submitted my first ever NWS job application... this is really happening 😍
the only thing that has me worried at the moment is the student status part but if I get past that, I feel good
to the offices who may get my application: I love you, please hire me ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for your patience through the survey process of this historic tornado event that impacted Western Kentucky Friday night. The portion of the long-track tornado from Fulton County to Muhlenberg County in Western Kentucky will be given a preliminary damage rating of EF4.

some dude commenting on our canceled severe thunderstorm watch: "I trust 4 yr old gas station condoms more then this weather station"
I am just so overfilled with joy right now. Taking this photo just gave me so much life and energy.
This is a night I'm going to remember for a long time ❤️
Not bad for a first trial run of my new fancy camera. Still getting used to it... learned some things, have some ideas for next time but all around things went pretty well and I'm loving the results.
the closest we’ll get to a White Christmas is my snowflake necklace but Merry Christmas to everyone and especially my fellow shift workers who are helping to hold down the fort this holiday season ❤️
Large boulder the size of a small boulder is completely blocking east-bound lane Highway 145 mm78 at Silverpick Rd. Please use caution and watch for emergency vehicles in the area.
@BitchestheCat
one of the last photos of Sammy (L) and Tabby (R) together
Tabby passed a few days later at 19, she was our therapy cat who had a deep bond with my dad
Sammy lived another yr to 20, she was my best friend and partner in crime
they were like my sisters & I miss them everyday

do you ever just think about what stuff like this sounded to people before we had the tech to know what's happening
like no wonder there's so much ancient paranoia folklore out there
Wow this is terrifying, the type of sonic boom you hope you never hear. That is a staggering pressure spike. [NSFW language]

I really wish that after you passed the quiz in COMET modules they gave you the correct answers
because sometimes I legit don't know what I got wrong and it'd be nice for future reference
I SAW IT!!
THE CLOUDS CLEARED AND I FINALLY
SAW
THE
AURORAS
oh my god I’m gonna blast Queen on my ride home and pass out knowing I can die a happier woman now that I finally saw them
me: I’m not gonna check my application status 5 times a day
also me: OMG IT CHANGED
(this is a good change right? feels like a good change… I want it to be a good change)
because the balloon video’s getting backlash I’ll just quickly address it…
we’ve done a lot of single person high wind launches just fine but this time the eddies really hit harder than what I’ve ever seen
and yeah, I could’ve done things differently… that’s my bad
I’m sorry
PSA FOR CHASERS
got storm (especially damage) pics/videos?
if you're chasing in MT right now, tag NWS Billings
if you're chasing in SD/NNE WY right now, tag NWS Rapid City
MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE LOCATION AND TIME
and please, for the love of god, don't tag them in radar pics
I have something awesome to announce...
In 70 days, the city in this picture becomes my new home as I start my pathways internship with NWS Glasgow ❤️❤️❤️
This is an exciting opportunity and I literally could not be happier about the adventure ahead
The Big Sky Country awaits
My favorite photos from last night. Never thought I’d be able to take a true overhead shot in Montana.
The way they draped and moved across the sky like curtains… just absolutely incredible 😍
It's the

fun little milestone to brag about this morning... I have now been a full time NWS met for 2 years 🥰
so many good memories and so many more about to be made
once again, I am begging leadership training modules to stop pushing neurotypical ideals and stop reinforcing the stereotype that neurodivergent traits are inherently bad
forgive the awful quality, I don’t have my tripod and we got flashing airport lights to our north
but if you’re in NE Montana, the auroras are out and about and along the horizon 🥰
anxiety is just.... I am so done with it. I am so done with this constant nagging inside that says “nobody likes you, they’re all pretending” and the unbelieveable ruminating I do over the most minor mistakes
it’s just so damn exhausting 🙃😔
@AutSciPerson
I keep track of it (to the best of my ability) but even so I'm irregular so it's always fun trying to explain to your doctor that just bc you haven't had a period in a couple months does not mean you're automatically pregnant like... that's not how any of that works
my goal is to one day use this NOAA photo on a social media post
haven't quite found the appropriate conditions to use it yet but like... I think about it a lot
happy thanksgiving to everyone! 🦃❤️
I’m holding the fort down this morning as forecaster here in Glasgow. Trace snow depth with some light flurries here earlier… perfect weather imo 🥰
