It’s a little rude that the flights in the gates next to me are going to Athens, Rome, and Madrid and mine is going to Kansas City (super excited to see @savvvvvyloo though) 🤠
Today marks one year of working as a meteorologist at @NWS_BaltWash 🎉 In one year I’ve given countless briefings, written many AFDs, learned from the smartest mets I know, launched numerous balloons, sent more LSRs than I can count, and oh so much more. Next step: RAC! ⛈️☀️🌪️

A bat just flew into my apartment, woke me up, and held me hostage for 30 minutes before deciding to leave. Now I’m wide awake at 2:30 AM, traumatized, and starting a puzzle since there will be no more sleeping tonight
