guys, what’s the coolest first name you’ve ever seen or heard in person? doesn’t have to be a name you’d give your own kid, just something that made you go “damn, what a cool name”.

I ask because one of my nephew’s besties is called Endeavour and that is a COOL name.

(his mates call him Noun, which is hilarious)

I've been adding most of the videos that I watch to the FediverseTV playlist, I think a lot about how Google has a rich history of the videos that I watch Yet, often people I know have never heard of any of it. Likewise, I often just don't know what media people are talking about.

I know daylighting most of your watch history isn't for everyone. But, I think a shared media landscape is important.

It would be amazing if this kind of sharing had an intuitive cross platform version... 1/

Imagine a shared playlist that pulled everything from the FediverseTV playlist on youTube, but you could also add peertube, nebula, and other videos to this super list.

And maybe it had a way to comment and discuss the videos.

This sounds deceptively simple. Online applications tend to fail to catch on because it's too hard to log in, you need to make a new account, or there isn't an easy way to adapt use into the ways people already use tech.

This wouldn't be a small project at all.

One of the reasons I'm suddenly interested in sharing videos is directly related to AI.

I worry that I might watch a video and not know that it's AI.

A lot of AI is very obvious to me, but that doesn't mean that I can't be fooled. When we look at things together and discuss them we stand a better chance of catching deceit.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
546 AM EST Sun Jan 18 2026

WHAT HAS CHANGED

Winter Weather Advisories have been expanded a bit southwest to include Middlesex, King William, and King and Queen counties. Snow totals for south-central VA into interior NE NC have also increased to 0.5-1". Uncertainty continues to remain higher- than-normal given marginal temperature conditions which could limit accumulations.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Confidence is moderate-high in portions of the area seeing some wet snow today, with the most likely timing for snow from the afternoon through early evening. 1-2" is expected across the VA Northern Neck and MD Eastern Shore, where Winter Weather Advisories have been issued. 0.5- 1" is expected elsewhere, with lesser amounts for southside Hampton Roads and coastal NE NC. However, uncertainty remains due to marginal surface temperatures.

2) A strong push of Arctic air arrives for early next week, with below normal temperatures to continue through the first half of next week. Tuesday is expected to be the coldest day, with single digit wind chills possible Tuesday morning.

3) Another storm system may impact the area next weekend, but it is way too early for specifics at this time.

DISCUSSION

As of 545 AM EST Sunday...

KEY MESSAGE 1...Confidence is moderate-high in portions of the area seeing some wet snow today, with the most likely timing for snow from the afternoon through early evening. 1-2" is expected across the VA Northern Neck and MD Eastern Shore, where Winter Weather Advisories have been issued. 0.5- 1" is expected elsewhere, with lesser amounts for southside Hampton Roads and coastal NE NC. However, uncertainty remains due to marginal surface temperatures.

An upper trough to our west pushes E today. A fast moving shortwave at the base of the trough is forecast to strengthen as it takes on a slight negative tilt just before it crosses the area during the afternoon and evening. At the surface, low pressure develops off the Carolina coast this morning before deepening while tracking NE during the remainder of today. Light rain is encroaching on on the SW Piedmont early this morning, with dew points increasing a few degrees over past hour or so. This initial push of precip will likely focus from the I-95 corridor and points W, increasing in coverage through 7 AM or so. The precipitation will increase in intensity throughout the day (while also spreading east) as the trough axis approaches. Weak CAA also ensues from the NW. 925-850mb temps are progged to drop to -1 to -4C across the NW two-thirds of the area by the afternoon as precip intensity peaks. The key to whether precip can change over to snow will be the thermal profiles in the lowest 1000-1500 ft AGL. If it can drop to 32-33F for a few hours due to wet-bulb/column cooling effects, then a period of accumulating snow is likely (mainly on grassy/elevated surfaces). On the other hand, if it doesn`t drop below 34-36F, precip would be predominantly rain with perhaps a brief period of snow at the tail end of the precip during the early evening. Additionally, snow will be more likely where precip rates are heavier…

Regardless of any headlines, would expect any accums to be mostly confined to grassy and elevated surfaces and not roadways. We could see accums on roadways if it snows hard enough for a couple of hours, though not that confident in this. A reasonable worse case scenario would be 2-3" for most of the area with 1-2" for SE VA and NE NC, mainly if precip intensity can overcome marginal sfc temps. Colder and drier air arrives from NW-SE this evening bringing a rapid end to the precip. Will also have to monitor for any freezing of residual wet/slushy surfaces tonight.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wakefield VA
546 AM EST Sun Jan 18 2026

MARINE

As of 200 AM EST Sunday...

Key Messages:

- Small Craft Advisories have been issued for the Chesapeake Bay later this afternoon into tonight due to the potential for 20 to 25 knot wind gusts.

- Another round of SCAs is possible Monday night into Tuesday as another cold front crosses the waters.

Early this morning, a stalled cold front is located just off the coast. Low pressure is expected to develop along this front later this morning, eventually lifting northeast of the local area by this evening. Winds are currently light and variable over the waters. Seas range from 2 to 3 feet and waves in the Chesapeake Bay are 1 foot or less. Winds increase and become N to NW today, generally ranging around 10 to 15 knots. Winds increase further this later this afternoon into early tonight as the pressure gradient briefly tightens due to the area of low pressure. Low-end SCA conditions are expected across the Chesapeake Bay, with latest wind probs now up to ~60-70% chances for 20+ knot gusts around 00z/7 PM this evening (especially across the northern bay). With the guidance showing the increasing SCA potential, opted to issue a SCA for the Chesapeake Bay from 21z/4 PM EST Sunday until 06z/1 AM EST Monday. There is less confidence across the coastal waters for SCA conditions, but local wind probs do show a 3-4 hour window from ~23 to 03z for 25+ knot gusts (especially out 20 nm). Winds diminish to 10 to 15 knots after Midnight, becoming W and eventually SW by Monday morning. SW winds increase Monday afternoon ahead of a strong cold front which is expected to cross the waters Monday evening into Monday night. In the wake of the front, winds become NW and average ~15 to 20 knots. Additional SCAs may be needed for at least portions of the Chesapeake Bay and the northern coastal waters Monday evening into Tuesday morning. Generally benign, sub-SCA, conditions take hold through the midweek timeframe before another system potentially approaches next weekend.
