Twittering Through the Storm Season

Hey everyone. Sorry for the long period of silence. I havent had a whole lot going on aside from busting my butt at work, saving for stormchasing. Im setting up a Twitter account for real-time updates during the entire storm season. Ill see if I can get this thing to post directly to my blog but for now, updates will be sent to this location- http://twitter.com/SeanMMullins. Look for more updates in the coming weeks.

Retarded Sigma Lens!

Well, I saw that this was released a few months ago but have yet to see a review until tonight. Seriously crazy stuff! Doesn't look that huge next to a Canon 600L.

Check out this link for the review if you are so inclined.

In other funny shit...

Already?

Well, Ive been watching this for a while now, and now that the GFS has been consistant for the past few runs, ill bite tentatively. Im eyeing a potential Cold Core Tornadic setup in western KS on Sunday. West/Central TX could also see some action with the stronger jet core in that area, as well as more availible moisture. Due to work constraints, I have to sit out the TX setup either way, so Ill focus on the CC setup.

Winds back nicely around the surface low sitting in Eastern CO, creating some mean looking shear profiles with the H5 winds shooting out of the SW at 50kts.


H5 winds could be closer to 55-60kts somewhere during the 18-0Z timeframe.


Nice little CAPE bubble shows up just to the east of the vigorous surface low.


H5 temps barely meet the criteria for a CC setup, but ill take anything I can get.


Im hoping the surface features will work out with an unimpeded warm sector, nice dry air intrusion, and slightly higher dewpoints than forecast.
If this run verifies, I think we could see some tornadoes around I-70 north to the tri-state intersection. Ill have a close eye on this one to say the least.

Denver MLK Marade 2009

I ventured down to City park Monday to document the MLK Day celebrations. I made some pretty crappy pictures but I feel they are pretty much on par with the local papers and such. I need to shoot more so i don't get rusty while I'm taking the semester off from college.


Up to 20 thousand people marched in Denver's annual Marade on Monday in honor of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


Jessica and Bridget Johnson of Denver show their support Monday for President elect, Barack Obama while honoring the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the annual Denver Marade. The Johnsons welcomed the warm, sunny weather after last year's Marade was frozen with temperatures well below zero.
