With a week of big snowstorms bearing down on NH, I'm reminded that one of the key things I use twitter for is following excellent local meteorologists.

Does anybody know if there are good regional meteo starter packs?

USAID's Famine Early Warning System Network helps communities around the world avoid drought induced famine. The US isn't the only country doing this work, but the US is a major player. People will suffer and become climate refugees without the help USAID provides.

I wonder the same thing. Similarly, our profession used to be dominated by men.

He has no interest in the nuance because he can't understand any of the details.

I retired from the USGS on January 1st, 2025 after 41 years. I was fortunate to be able to work with some of the brightest people in the field of hydrogeology. I'll stay involved but with more time to surf.

I gain weight at those hotels with amazing breakfast buffets. My last trip did not have that kind of buffet and instead I got an amoeba. Lost weight on that trip ๐Ÿ˜…
