We're glad you are enjoying our model snow forecast imagery! However, a reminder: beyond 48 hours, model forecast output credibility for snow amounts quickly drops to zero. Reposting our images is fine, but reposting 148 hour ECMWF Kuchera graphics ruins your credibility.-Gilbert
Wouldn’t say I’m thrilled with the dumb mistakes but still super proud of getting second place with my bird trivia team! #aos_sco23
@CarollAlvarado_ Yes! Let me know what you’d like I have plenty of other videos and pics I did not post yet!
One video clip I got of TWO #tornadoes just outside of Elgin IL roughly an hour ago! More to come later! #severeweather #illinois #tornado
@RileyZhang1222 @NBCNews Yes it is mine and I have plenty of others! Just let me know what you’d like!
@MarkRiveraABC7 Yes I did! Let me know if you’d like others as well!
@NinaFlorezRueda Yes I did! If you’d like others let me know! I have more!
🏆 Spring 2023 Awards: A Series! 2 of ?: Congrats to Colin Dobson, named Outstanding Senior in NRES-Related Service! (Awards being presented in no particular order; stay tuned for more!) #award #Congratulations @birdingboy
7am Update: Here’s a link to a short video I made explaining the whole event: youtu.be/_0NeLrQ1LtA Central IL timing: Round 1: 2-5pm Round 2: 4-8pm Stay tuned, all modes are likely including many tornados. Storms will be moving FAST! Stay safe and know how to get alerts!
10:30PM update I just posted on my Facebook. More to come, it’s been a long day so hoping for more in-depth analysis from my end early tomorrow! Stay tuned! As always these are all ‘experimental’ and are mostly to inform my local friends within the community here in C IL.
@ReedTimmerAccu Thanks Reed! Plan to be out in central Illinois tomorrow with these new changes! Perhaps I’ll see you out!
I’m back on Twitter after several years, and I’m starting out with sharing this. I look forward to use this platform much more in the near future!
Target area has shifted to central IL for now as short range models are suggesting the potential for the surface low to be pinched off by overnight blob of storms tonight. Trimode setup ftw. Also eastern AR likely will go big. Stay tuned to watches and warnings tomorrow
@the_impact19 @Gymnast_Ant @dana_n_johnson @VanRiperLab @IllinoisNRES Thanks, I saw many birds this day I don’t even know where to start! Although the better birds are all included in the video!
I’m in charge of a project looking into bird collisions on campus! It’s important to have an ecocentric worldview with keeping lights off at night, which saves birds but also saves energy! This is a Field Sparrow from Sunday! #earthweek @dana_n_johnson @VanRiperLab @IllinoisNRES
@DevinS83290824 @VanRiperLab @dana_n_johnson @IllinoisNRES Not sure, I saw a lot! Probably the Sandhill crane or the ruddy Duck because usually I don’t see neither of those close!
It’s #earthweek! Last week I went birding and saw 95 species one morning! My generation suffers from Nature Deficit Disorder due to new technology and loss of interest of the environment! Go explore! youtu.be/Aen9uI4-0Kw @dana_n_johnson @VanRiperLab @IllinoisNRES #nature
@AnitaPtas @dana_n_johnson @VanRiperLab @IllinoisNRES I field guides definitely helps in the very beginning, as well as audio apps and ebird as well. Now I can differentiate all the birds by sight and also I know all the bird songs here in IL as well! It takes a lot of work but it’s so fun!
@dkh312 @dana_n_johnson @VanRiperLab @IllinoisNRES In this day I was mostly at lake Shelbyville! But yeah it’s definitely something under appreciated
@MaggieBathgate @dana_n_johnson @VanRiperLab @IllinoisNRES Yes! This is actually an average morning for this time of year! It also depends where you go to look for birds!
This movie opened my eyes to so much. I never could have imagined how much overfishing impacts our oceans and how the institutions who run the fishery industry have the biggest part to play. #EarthDay2021 @VanRiperLab @dana_n_johnson #ConSocSci
