So many of us use social media sites for networking and communicating with one another, and the meteorology community is no different, adopting Twitter as a platform for engagement. Using the hashtag #wxtwitter, meteorologists and weather enthusiasts discuss a myriad of subjects, including storm chasing, severe weather, and other hot-button topics. Users also hop onto #wxtwitter to share research and ideas with one another and brainstorm potential collaborations for the future. While #wxtwitter can certainly provide many positives, there are several downsides that we discuss, including the terse nature of tweeting and the "drama" that can often unfold between members in the community. Minh and Castle break it all down and bring back our good friend Dakota Smith from "The Weather Junkies" to discuss the wonderful world of #wxtwitter.
