If you could use a warm thought today maybe a 360° virtual bike ride on some of Edmonton's beautiful paths and trails could help. Was 23C at 9am on July 15th. Currently -30C at noon on the 1st day of winter. youtu.be/7m7f9uEqrUo

Turned out to be a beauty day for Ice Racing at #SylvanLake #Alberta 😎

There is a nice #halo around the sun over #RedDeer at noon. #optics

Is bluesky social still happening? Anybody get on it yet? I sure hope it's still coming. Twitter is the only sm I am on and It's become such a cesspit that I have a hard time looking at it anymore.

A lot of memories for me in this old barn. Hockey games against some future NHLers, Stampede wrestling with The Harts, Dynamite kid.. good times.

As this is the first day of spring, here is the earliest storm photo I could find in my photo albums. Instamatic mammatus shot from spring of 1972 looking towards Red Deer from Sylvan Lake. We used to call em hail bags.

We have been busy analyzing the data from 2022. Here are all 469 major hailswaths detected by radar (S of 55 N) in Canada from 1 May - 30 September. MRMS MESH > 10 mm for 30 km + at least 2 pixels of MESH >= 50 mm. Longest swath ~350 km! Prairies = hail country. @noaa

Mini tornado at Huxley today. #abstorm

66mm of liquid gold in #RedDeer from this #JuneMonsoon event so far. #abstorm 7:30am June 15

We got thundered awake and a quick 18mm of rain in a pre 6am deluge in #RedDeer #JuneMonsoon #abstorm

Another 22mm in the bin brings the #JuneMonsoon total in our yard to 113mm. After a week of sog the sky is extra fantastic blue this morning. #RedDeer #abstorm

An NTP investigation, in collaboration with ECCC Weather Alberta, has concluded that the worst damage from the July 1st Didsbury tornado is rated EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, making it the highest-rated AB tornado since Edmonton in 1987. Full details: uwo.ca/ntp/blog/2023/…

Calgary doesn't let a little storm stop the party. #abstorm

Not thrilled about today. There are some beautiful crops and gardens out there.

Just tried to browse the abstorm tag and I can't do it. It is 99.97% spam, how can it be used for reporting? Does anyone know if EC³ even watches this tag anymore?

Spotted the first obvious hail scar on Sentinel just nw of Markerville from the July 10 slow moving #abstorm Not a very big one but it's ugly. NTP Reports

Truck is rockin in 40kmh+ nnw wind just west of Markerville. This was a beautiful canola crop a few days ago. Truck says 22C but it feels like 12. #abstorm
