I love this!! What a great idea!!

I’m so impressed you made it! My flight was canceled today so I switched to southwest. Currently in Tampa hopefully boarding to Buffalo soon.

I’m en route right now! (Like on the plane to IAH)

This is not an exaggeration:
There is not a single weather forecaster, TV meteorologist, airline pilot, computer scientist, or climate scientist in the WORLD whose work or life wasn't directly or indirectly improved or influenced by the science done at NCAR.

NCAR provides the facilities, tools, & data critical for atmospheric sci education & research. Leading computer models of the Earth System are developed here. The training, continuing education, & sci exchanges NCAR makes possible are irreplaceable. Its dismantling would be chaotic & devastating.

I have no words.

Have a blast! I’ve never been but I know plenty of people who have and I’ve heard all good things!!

Just a friendly reminder that the Polar Vortex is not an Arctic storm, polar hurricane, blizzard or things that comes to visit us. Lobes of its wave system can dip south into the U.S. bringing colder air. I have already seen a car commercial improperly refer to it and a major newspaper headline.

Just threw up my hands in disbelief that the dataset I’m using has latitude North to South instead of South to North like the rest of my data.

It’s comforting how, even as the world falls apart, some things stay the same.

Yes!!!!! Go Elena!!!

NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations

Due to the current gap in funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program is pausing most operations effective 12 May 2025. Nearly all staff will be furloughed until funds from our existing NSF grant become available. For more information, see buff.ly/d2TC1Oy

Great job, Cady!!

You did great, Cady!!

The details in the article are even worse than the headline. This would be DEVASTATING for so many reasons.

YouTube video by MSNBC LIVE NOW: Sen. Booker will go as long as he can in marathon Senate speech to protest Trump

Sen. Booker has crossed the 18 hour mark in his historic Senate speech protesting the Trump administration.

I just realized today that I left all the grading I planned to do at school… oops? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yesterday I spoke at the Stand Up For Science rally in Buffalo, NY about the impacts of the cuts to NOAA and the NWS on all of us. I was loud. Let’s all be loud. #saveNOAA

White House may seek to slash NASA’s science budget by 50 percent “It would be nothing short of an extinction-level event for space science.”…

Trump's budget plan may cut NASA science funding by up to 50%, alarming scientists who call it an "extinction-level event" for space science. This threatens ongoing missions and would cede future space exploration to China. Also, about 30% of NASA's science budget is for Earth and climate science.

A statement from our department regarding the recent NOAA/NWS cuts.

🚨 Speaker lineup just keeps growing! We have State Senator Sean Ryan (2PM) and former fire commissioner and social justice advocate Garnell Whitfield (3PM)! Get there early!

Stand up for science is TODAY! Niagara Square 2p-6p

I will be speaking about the importance of NWS and NOAA. #saveNOAA @savenoaa.bsky.social

Congratulations, Justin!!

Make no mistake. Though you cannot always see what these meteorologists do. You will feel it. WE will feel it.

I am gutted. And I am so sorry.

But they are always there working FOR US. “for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.”

But today, with these mass firings, this is being threatened. This protection. This enhancement.

Those who work at NOAA and the NWS do this daily. Sometimes it’s obvious, like when you get a tornado or blizzard warning.

Sometimes it’s not, like when a weather balloon is launched and the data gets ingested into a weather model to make the forecast that much better.

The NWS mission:

“Provide weather, water and climate data, forecasts, warnings, and impact-based decision support services for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.”

Again: “…for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.”

“For there is always light, if only we are brave enough to see it. If only be are brave enough to be it.” - Amanda Gorman @amandagorman.bsky.social

YES!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS CADY!!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳

Ugh Cady that stinks. I’m so sorry.
