Today was really hard. After a long, happy, and healthy life we said goodbye to Doppler. He was the sweetest boy and best companion you could ask for. I’ll miss him very much and treasure the 13 years I had with him. Give your pup an extra hug tonight. ❤️

Heads up: There's nothing particularly unique about a "bomb cyclone". Almost all of our big storms "bomb out". As for winter hurricane? Ridiculous term. Almost all major nor'easters produce hurricane force winds over the ocean. It's a nor'easter... nothing new. #nbcct

I am lucky to have a career I love. But this week has been challenging. I’m on day 8 of work. Missed my cousin’s wedding. Now I’m getting venomous messages insulting my intelligence and my appearance. I’m “pathetic,” “dumb,” “sensationalist”. “A blonde that won’t stop talking.”

Gotta love the people complaining on Facebook that mentioning the possibility of wintry weather next weekend "ruins people holidays" and "we should stick to tomorrow". It's literally our jobs to forecast the weather... if you're not interested in a forecast just use a window.

I have no idea why meteorologists have such a problem with Groundhog Day (some NWS offices were tweeting things like trust us... not a groundhog). Of course it's silly but it's fine to have a little fun and embrace a bizarre tradition. Have a sense of humor.
