As people start panic shopping in preparation for the blizzard that's set to wallop the metro NYC area this weekend, I was reminded of something I witnessed (and wrote about) under similar circumstances around twelve years ago

(Pasted below for the permanent record.)

It was complete carnage at the grocery store last night, which was overrun by a panicked, wide-eyed citizenry frantically stocking up on beef and bottled water. (I've never understood the apparently widespread fear of being stuck inside for a day or two without the ability to endlessly feast upon steak and hamburgers.) The dairy section looked like it had been beaten up by thugs -- no milk, broken eggs in the aisle, along with a lonely package of Cracker Barrel that had been crushed by someone's boot heel.

Things got worse up at the checkout aisles, where it had just been announced that 80% of the registers were down because of a computer problem. There were cries of great exasperation, some yelling, and lots of muttered profanity.

Then I observed a lone shopper, who, while gesturing towards the contents of his loaded cart, said: "well, if that's the case, then fuck all of this nonsense right here."

He wasn't performing for anyone -- he was clearly just narrating the moment for his own benefit, but it was his hand motion that really got my attention. It was somewhere between a rote gesture of dismissal and the casting of a magic spell, and it perfectly announced what he did next, which was to gently set his cart adrift in the frozen food aisle. In releasing his grip from the cart handle, he snapped all of his fingers open as though he were waving goodbye to the cart. It looked like jazz hands, but deployed in the spirit of two erect middle fingers.

The cart landed softly at the base of a mid-aisle marshmallow display, at which point the gentleman turned on his heel and marched purposefully out the doors and into the night.

I don't know his name or if I will ever see him again, but I think of him often. For a few fleeting moments, he was the hero that America truly needed.

The scene is a residential street after a heavy snowfall, bathed in bright winter sunlight casting long shadows. Large, sculpted mounds of white snow dominate the view, especially along the sides of the road and driveways, suggesting recent clearing efforts. The asphalt is visible in patches, wet and somewhat slushy. In the foreground, a red Tim Hortons coffee cup sits on a brick ledge, a familiar symbol of warmth amidst the cold. The overall mood is one of crisp winter air and the aftermath of a significant snowstorm.

For people in the #UnitedStates:

As US-based #weather models (especially the UFS from NOAA) are becoming less accurate with cuts to funding for scientific research, I’ve added @stefano’s helpful, localized #FediMeteo to my #Mastodon feed. Over the past year I’ve found its Euro-modeled forecasts to be more reliable.

I've been checking the weather in my area for this upcoming weekend and I'm getting mixed messages.

One says we're looking at a blizzard with 13-20 inches of snow coming in from Saturday night into Sunday. Another says we're looking at 7 inches max from Saturday night into Sunday. A third says 14 to 23 inches.

Which will be right? Or will the snow storm pass right by us?

Who knows!

Driving home before dinner time. Fog so thick the world was looming out at us around every corner. Full beam headlights just created a white blanket obscuring the road. And then, as we got close to home it just vanished, leaving behind dreary rain.
As with the snow, it appears that the next village over from us gets more weather than we do here. We are towards the edge of the valley that our nearest city sits within, the next village still uphill from us, so more exposed.

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! 🎉
