January clouds

Yes, Virginia. It is a Real Snowflake

New phone with an impressive camera.  Found I can take semi-clear macro photography with it.  This was one of the very rare snows we received in Wichita this year.  I took this at lunch and sent it around to coworkers.  Then uploaded it to a local channel, who preceded to do a "Fake or Real" news segment.  They did claim it was real "it is folks".  

Botanica Illuninations

Illuminations is Botanica's little Winter Fest.  The night we went, there was high pressure overhead so the smoke from the chiminea's was forced down and caused a very smoking evening.

Yeah, It's overfiltered.

There were Tornadoes in Kansas on Christmas Day, but All I Got Was this Squall Line

Santa!

Odds and Ends at the Cosmosphere

I recently got the pleasure of teaching Solar Weather and Severe Weather to teachers at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas.

While there, the TIV had been left for the premier of Tornado Alley.
