Blog history question: Nowadays, it seems like all the cool weather blogs/accounts do weather ratings. The 1st time I remember seeing this was in The Awl, Choire Sicha would post a pic of the sky in ny and rate it and then write some unhinged prose. Was this a thing before Choire's weather reviews?

@choire.bsky.social please answer my dumb question thanks

@jwarminsky.bsky.social

I'm gonna agree and say Choire was probably the first

Ahaha hmm well it was Tom Scocca. I feel vaguely that he was just mad that the mainstream media was giving up more and more on weather at the time?
