The entire photo is filled with a bright and brilliant white sea fog or cloud. After a while a tiny amount of detail becomes visible. Close to the right edge of the image is a distant view of the tall tower of a large suspension bridge with some of the cables just visible. A short length of the deck can be made out to the left of the tower. A similar distance from the left margin of the photo is a further tower, more obscured by the fog with just a hint of the suspender cables visible and no more - no deck, no more cables, no nothing, but fog. The bridge is the Golden Gate Bridge (2016).

One of my favorite times of the year. The transitional period from winter to spring. High on 02/28 was 55 F/13 C. Then a clipper moved through and now it is 24.6 F/-4.1 C. Just had a few patches of snow yesterday, now an 1" / 2.54 cm of snow. Note the spider web on the camera. #weather

I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.

Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.

FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.

If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:
https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/

Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, so I want to say thanks to:

• OpenMeteo - @openmeteo@fosstodon.org - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful

• @grunfink@comam.es - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM

• FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort

• FediFollows - @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project

And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.

Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉

I'm glad we got here a day early. I wouldn't want to be out on the water — even the ICW — in this.

Also, this desert-dweller can't remember the last time she was in rain coming down this hard. It's deafening on the roof of the boat, and I'm not referring to the thunder.

The weather right now here in northern Colorado, USA is *weird*. Yesterday, I saw a spider zipping around on the sidewalk...in the middle of *winter*. And today, a field we drove by had large green patches...in the middle of *winter*. Poor nature is all askew.

Big storm has been hitting for about 45 minutes now.

Lots of hail, lots of thunder & lots of local flooding according to the VIC emergency app.

Take care out there. #weather #VictoriaWeather

a great thing because that means we have more water stored in the snowpack moving forward

We lost power for about two hours. I worry we'll be experiencing more of those into March as the weather warms up and the wind blows harder.
