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 NYS Mesonet

Holy cow! This event in New York State was both unexpected, and crazy. This is the first of many snow tweets this week.

#9 Kelly Wilson

I would love to see that!

#8 Jessica Dobson

That is one of the coolest cakes I have ever seen.

#7 severe-weather.EU

The low pressure system that impacted France over the weekend was simply incredible.

#6 Stu Ostro

This is cool for two reasons. One, it shows the wildfires (they aren’t cool) burning across the southeast. The other is that it explains what we are gonna get with GOES-R, which was launched on Saturday evening.

#5 Inside Michigan

WHAT ON EARTH?? That is so insane, and I wish I had been at that game!

#4 NWS OPC

This is the third or fourth week in a row that a beautiful mid-latitude cyclone has made the list!

#3 NWS Sioux Falls

This is an incredibly useful graphic for discerning the different types of precipitation and how they form.

#2 Taylor Trogdon

This was so cool.

#1 Nick Merianos

I miss snow so much. This makes me miss it more!
