WxOrNotBG Tweets of the Week

Twitter is a meteorologist’s best friend and worst enemy. Meteorologists send out hundreds of tweets per day, and it is such a useful tool for dispensing information. Many times, though, hype will begin and spread like fire on Twitter. Other times, it saves someone’s life. Therefore, Twitter sees the best and worst out of meteorologists every week, and it gets really fascinating to watch. These are the 10 best Tweets I found from this past week!

#10 NWS Great Falls

SNOW. SNOW. SNOOOOOOOW. 

#9 NWS Podunk

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

#8 Alex Sizemore

That MCS was so cool.

#7 Beau Dodson 

Bowling Green erased a 4″ deficit for the year in one week.

#6 Eric Holthaus

Nepartak was an incredibly intense storm that, luckily, weakened a bit before hitting Taiwan.

#5 Rich Howard 

Last week was absolutely insane. Insane.

#4 Josh Eachus WBRZ

This is one of the best examples of where an NWS met makes a fantastic forecast decision. The National Weather Service has some of the most forward thinking (within the meteorological realm), intelligent and talented meteorologists in the world. 

#3 NWS Boise 

This had a hard run for number one, and yes, it wasn’t technically in the period for last week. However, it gets a pass. Heavy snow like that in July? Sign me up.

#2 Landon Hampton

This is quite possibly the funniest/coolest picture I have ever seen in my life. 

#1 Dan Lindsey

That is so incredible. I’m gonna have a post up later about how the eastern Pacific us churning out storms like crazy.
