BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.
Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

The cuts "would kill the much-anticipated Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an observatory seen as on par with [Hubble & JWST] that is already fully assembled and on budget for a launch in two years." Would also apparently close NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Huge, HUGE loss for science.
Hey! It's bad! arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...
2/3 cut in astrophysics
2/3 cut in heliophysics
50% cut in Earth science
30% cut in planetary science
This is just such an incredible self-own, what are we doing?

This mass firing of NOAA employees is awful on a personal level, but it's also a terrible blow to our nation's expertise and leadership in weather forecasting and research.

First snow of the season here! Mostly small aggregates, corresponding to radar reflectivity < 30 dBZ and low ZDR/KDP.

Not the best photo, but the aurora was clearly visible down here in Maryland.

Relatively high ZDR (~1-2 dB) over Montgomery County, MD for snow aggregates, especially with reflectivity > 20 dBZ. The correlation coefficient is also relatively low (< 0.97), suggesting flatter, canting aggregates potentially mixed with pristine crystals.
