In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

A quick review of the DOE's new 'critical review' of climate science. Whether it's worth a formal community response - I'm still not sure, but here's my first thoughts

Been playing with this weather app for a while this evening and I like it a lot. The interface is clean and intuitive, with easy access to NWS products (until DOGE dismantles NOAA, at least).
Putting a plug out there for an incredible weather app (EverythingWx) that was developed by Cory Mottice (Warning Coordination Meteorologist at NWS Corpus Christi)
It’s ad free, pulls information directly from the National Weather Service, and has a beautiful design!

The problem is that the federal government actually runs so silent and efficient that almost nobody realizes its there.

I have to wonder if the people in northern Louisiana are upset that they live too far north to see the snow.
Using public storm reports provided to the NWS so far, here's a map of **estimated** interpolated snow totals through 7pm CST:
