After an outage of just over a month, PolarWx is back online and functioning. This post serves to explain the cause of the prolonged outage, the current status of the website, and what changes are expected in the coming weeks and months to the website.

Much of the meteorology community is currently on Twitter, commonly nicknamed "WxTwitter". This has not always been the case, and may not be the case either down the road as new social media platforms arise and others decline.

This post discusses some pros and cons of social media use in meteorology, both at an individual level from the perspective of an early-career meteorologist and from a broader community level, including some thoughts on where the weather community on social media may go in the future.

This first post of my blog serves as an introduction to this blog, how I plan to structure it, and a couple of updates on the status of my website in recent weeks.
