A big thanks to @RxForIT and Matt Ritter for their talks at PyData Boston's event with Humana last week. Slides below

My father Malcolm Ritter retires in less than an hour. His work as a science reporter has been so important, and his work as father to my brother and I has been inspiring. Thank you, and I look forward to being able to spend even more time together, if only virtually for now.

Guys, I might cry. My parents (who live in FL) are lifelong Republicans. I’ve been trying w/my sis to talk to them calmly about what is at stake. (I can get 🔥 up). I even enlisted my aunt (Mom’s sis). Today my Dad said they dropped off their ballots and voted for Joe Biden . 😭

By what day+time do you think the odds of power outages in Boston are <10% (conditional on not already happening by that time). Off the cuff I'd say Monday at 8pm based on the associated white dot here: nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphi…

We got a little jealous of our fabulous midnight shift, so we bring you the day crew! We're here 24/7/365 to monitor #Henri and any other weather phenomenon! 🙂 #mawx #riwx #ctwx

Huge thanks to NWS Boston National Weather Service Another great story of data gatherer/engineer/visualizers stepping up in a crisis: 80000hours.org/podcast/episod…

The remnants of #Henri will move back across southern New England Monday, possibly resulting in renewed flooding from scattered showers & storms that will be accompanied by torrential downpours. Also, an isolated brief tornado can't be ruled out Monday. #mawx #ctwx #riwx

(1) Upload your data. (2) Describe your data. (3) Ask what you’d like to learn about your data, and watch it happen:

Drive carefully during the morning commute today, especially on back/secondary roads where there may be some patchy black ice.
