It’s funny, when I moved to Philadelphia at 13, those teams became my teams - but the Sixers never took. For whatever reason I don’t know, the Pacers stayed my team, much to the annoyance of my philly area born and bred husband. Go Pacers!

By the time the folks who don’t know the value of this info realize that they don’t have a weather forecast, catch a preventable disease, or eat diseased chicken, scientists will have all moved on to other things. Bye and by good luck! PS if there are spinny clouds, head for the basement.
Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

This video illustrates the "levante" phenomenon on the Rock of Gibraltar.
The "levante" is an east wind carrying moisture from the Mediterranean.
When it encounters the rock's steep terrain, it rises, cools, and condenses, creating clouds, mist, and fog.

A National Weather Service with insufficient data and an exhausted and demoralized staff will struggle to keep up with the documented increases in climate-fueled weather extremes.

This is a really nice, simple distillation of the vital role NOAA and the NWS play and how private companies cannot replace what they do.
