DOGE said they were going to fix the leak under the kitchen sink. Instead we’ve come home to find they TNT’d the kitchen with no plan to rebuild.

Dismantling the NWS is not efficiency. Speaking from the private sector, throwing a wrench in the way we receive observational and model data makes our jobs less efficient and costly. https://t.co/TvFkc6H1fx

No team has been disrespected more in the SEC media preseason poll than @HailStateFB. The Bulldogs were picked last in the West, the ninth time in the last 12 years they've been picked last/next to last. But only three times since the 2012 expansion have they finished that low.

🤗 so far the most electrified storm we’ve experienced since we’ve lived here ⛈️ #orwx

[Benton Farmer @BentonFarmer]

This has to be the most uniform precipitation shields I’ve ever seen. #orwx

Really putting the L in NIL huh, A&M

[Benton Farmer @BentonFarmer]

This is the first time I can remember seeing the dew point at 70 in the 10+ years we’ve lived here. It truly felt like the SE this afternoon. #orwx

@pgradydixon No better way to end a PDX trip than with quinoa bowls and IPAs

[Benton Farmer @BentonFarmer]

Thankfully it’s a west coast IPA! Please let the hazy IPAs fade back to the NE.

[Fort George Brewery 🍺 @FortGeorgeBeer]

Pre-order a case of this summer's 3-Way IPA with shipping to OR & WA homes. Cases will ship on 5/24. Or come out to the pub on Sunday 5/22 and grab a pint or a 4-pack (or a case).

In 82 years of record keeping, #PDX had never recorded more than a trace of snow in April. That ended today. Looking out the window, it appears there will be more than 0.1 inch when all is said and done.

⚡️Elon Musk's Starlink satellite system providing internet access is now active in Ukraine.

Satellite terminals are on the way to Ukraine. This could be useful if Russia’s attacks destabilize Ukraine’s internet.

The Portland Airport hit 67°F yesterday (February 11th, 2022). Just across the river, the Vancouver Airport hit 68°F. This is the warmest both sites have been so early in a calendar year since records began in ~1940 at Portland and ~1895 at Vancouver. #pdxtst #orwx #wawx

[Benton Farmer @BentonFarmer]

This brings me joy #RCTID

Here's a weather/climate oddity factoid...

The Portland Airport has yet to hit freezing this Fall/Winter, but it just recorded it's first measurable snowfall of the season with 0.2". 🧐 #pdxtst #orwx

[Timbers Army @timbersarmy]

Sweet Dreams. #RCTID

[Benton Farmer @BentonFarmer]

Interesting statistic.

[3D Watch @Zy706]

With LSU and Memphis both winning tonight, Mississippi State keeps an insane streak alive: they have not lost to a team that didn't finish the season bowl eligible since October 18, 2008 when they lost 34-3 to Tennessee, who ended up finishing the season 5-7. 13 years! #HailState

[NWS Portland @NWSPortland]
