Every time we have a substantial snow forecasted and I have time off work, I try to make it into the Icebox to capture shots of the snow falling through the crack in the cave's ceiling. Today was finally a successful attempt. Bonus shot of the park's eponymous rock bridge. Love this place.

“Telescopes around the world have spotted a monster radio jet streaming from a quasar dating back to the first 1 billion years of the universe.
At double the width of our Milky Way galaxy, this jet of radio waves is the biggest ever detected so early in the history of the universe.”

Looking forward to testing out this new treatment of the Eryngium integrifolium complex this field season. Would be interested in other's opinions on how well some of these new species concepts shake out, especially in the southern Blue Ridge.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees.
NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives.
My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.

Warnock: "Donald Trump said he was going to allow Mr. Robert Kennedy to 'go wild' on health. 'Go wild.' Of all the things that I can think of that I'd like to see a secretary of health and human services do, 'go wild' is not on the list."
