A popular Twitter account is back. "Karl the Fog" returned to the social network Thursday after a two-year absence.

The weather parody account, run by an anonymous user, first appeared on Twitter in 2010. In that time, Karl has tweeted more than 10,000 times and has compiled more than 340,000 followers.

In announcing his return Thursday, Karl the Fog tweeted that he put on a few metric tons over the last two years.  

He added that he moved in with his parents in Point Reyes at the start of the pandemic, but "nothing beats hanging 6 feet away from you."
