Even before Trump was elected, the U.S. Forest Service had planned not to hire seasonal workers this summer and was already going to be short-staffed. The cuts on top of that are what's really creating a crisis I detailed in this weekend story. www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/l...

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Really solid -- and concerning reporting -- in this story. “The reliability impacts of this could be very serious. I mean the lights go out. Unplanned outages,” Randall Hardy, an energy consultant and former administrator of BPA, said.

If you looked at your weather app this morning and the radar seemed empty, there's a reason for that. The radar for the National Weather Service in Portland went out for a few hours due to a blown fuse. They've got it back up and running but here's what happened: tinyurl.com/39uhbz7s

Tomorrow's ice storm looks as though it will bring a significant impact, with ice accumulations from a quarter to a half inch possible. That's not as bad as a year ago — and it won't last as long — but still a decent sized deal. Story: tinyurl.com/3hwyymha

It's just the best when it stays cold enough to keep the snow light and powdery even at the lower elevations, which really brings places like Big Springs Sno Park to life. A joy skiing through the big trees on a mix of easy, medium and some challenging routes.

Elon is trying to get rid of NOAA so there aren’t any warnings ahead of climate disasters. They want people dead not evacuated.
