Today is the 179th anniversary of Neptune's discovery. I first 'discovered' the outermost ice planet in 2020. A year later, this is the best image I've taken of it (so far)! #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

“Weather forecasting is not partisan,” said Representative Mike Flood of Nebraska, one of the bill’s sponsors.

New Mexico tree deaths double in 2024 according to the New Mexico Forestry Division. Insects and a warming climate were the driving factors. Burn scar areas were also significant causes for insect activity and tree mortality.

Completing a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification, as there's a non-zero chance I'm first on a scene with storm chasing and general adventuring.

The federal government is being deliberately asphyxiated in real time and no one can really do anything about it.
NEW: NOAA operations slowed by mandate for Commerce Secretary to approve ALL contracts/contract extensions above $100,000. This nearly led to a significant deterioration of Nat'l Weather Service operations last night. www.axios.com/2025/04/01/n...
Scoop: NOAA operations impaired by Commerce chief's approval mandate
