I am very impressed with the thunderstorm potential for western OR and WA tomorrow. Have not seen this in my 14 years working at the NWS Portland WFO.

I found this on my desk this morning. It has brought me momments of joy throughout this chaotic work morning. It is hard to not smile when I look at this dumpster fire face

This is what happens when 18F goes away: beta.weather.gov has been deactivated, “due to the loss of critical federal staff, which leaves this project without the resources to continue its development or for routine monitoring and maintenance.”

This cute kitty has been hanging around in my yard the past few weeks. My pets do not like this. The orange kitty is patiently trying to win them over. The strategy of blocking my cats access to the house by sitting in front of the door has not won them over.

Federal employee's dedication to service is inspiring. I am fortunate to be part of a team of hard-working people that truly value taxpayers' money.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

It was a rough day for NOAA today. My heart goes out to those that lost their jobs today, and those who remain to pick up the pieces. Grateful that we are a strong community and have many partners that value our work. www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/l...
