660: Dust

First, and quickly: This is my 660th post; what can I do for an extra-evil 666th post?

Second, and quickly: There's dust everywhere!
It looks as if my second substantial valley dust storm is passing over head, and I for one refuse to act like it's no big deal!
Dutifully I visited weather.com for some meteorological-musings, and I was intrigued to see a "Nearby Tweets" section below the forecast. Following a link you can get to a "Phoenix, AZ (85001) & Vicinity Weather Tweets" page, on which I discovered tweeters providing useful and amusing commentary; along with prettiness:
Credit.


Of course, this post has actually been a good excuse to link to an xkcd, which I was reminded of when seeing this feature. Clever use of twitter though, well done (nerds at) weather.com.
