It has been extremely hard to convince naysayer friends and family that this is not the same as a company having a bad year and going through layoffs. This is an active assault from the highest levels of our leadership on people who took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Every one of us.

"Thursday’s mass firings come days before a potential severe weather outbreak early next week in the southeastern United States — and just months ahead of the next Atlantic hurricane season." Reporting by Scott Dance... www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats. After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13. I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

This is all extremely bleak and today cranked everything up another notch. The defiance and drive out of spite that I felt a month ago has completely dissolved, and that's entirely the whole point of this barrage.

By end of Monday all Verizon employees must send me five bullets points on what they did this week to justify their existence, why I am paying them $350 per month for phone and internet, and why service is so shitty around Annapolis

Overwhelmingly the guidance I’m hearing so far is to NOT respond

Do NOT respond until you receive direction from NWSEO.

That email has to have set off a five-alarm fire at every agency. What is the guidance here on responses? What should be said/not said? Most of all, who the hell is in charge here?

Persistently strong and cold polar vortex remains with the sun beginning to rise over the high Arctic. Arctic ozone = lowzone. Nearing the record springtime low set in 2020: ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/NH.html

If there’s one thing I love more than bittercasting, it’s wishcashting for snow. I’m not giving up yet given how dependent this storm is on wind measurements that can only be delivered by balloon profiles. We will see if these waves can meet at the right time

Been a while I think since we've seen the complete collapse of a snowstorm threat like this one. Was the one thing I was looking forward to this week. Neato

I'm good with snow now for the season but also am all-in on next week's threat. This is one to watch

Any radar meteorologists out there that might know why TDWRs seem to have a reflectivity hole along the zero isodop in snow?

Impressive. This will pile up fast as the sun sets

Seems to me like many high-res models overdid temperatures this afternoon, especially near Annapolis. Snow accumulating quickly here. Roads mostly look wet for now

Bring me the mega-band ❄️

3:25 pm: Watching a band of heavy snow south that is shifting this way. Others also likely to develop into the evening. With sun's rays diminishing, temps falling near freezing and any heavier snow moving, conditions could head downhill quickly. Details at cwg.live
