Since people have contacted me with concerns, let me clarify that I am merely leaving X & reducing social media activities

You can find me on Bluesky, although I'm cutting back there too. Blog continues: https://t.co/UbyzWHgEiD.

Thank you for your love of weather and snow.

Dear Friends:

I hope I have helped you understand snow
But now it's time for me to go
I leave having learned this
In the end, The Beatles were wrong
The love you take
Is GREATER than the love you make

Think snow, ski fast, and take chances,
Professor Powder

[Jim Steenburgh @ProfessorPowder]

Good for them

@LembergBrent @WasatchSnow Nice. I've seen bigger but don't think there is a graupel size record. Sounds like a fun citizen science project to try

[Jim Steenburgh @ProfessorPowder]

@eric_weinberger Sure, form a fourth political party and further complicate the formation of a coalition government

[Jim Steenburgh @ProfessorPowder]

We remain deeply divided on many issues...

A new Deseret News/@hinckleyinst poll reveals the name people prefer for Utah's NHL team.

If Utahns had their druthers, they would go with Outlaws, according to a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll. But it’s by no means a majority and close among all three candidates.

To break down those results a little more, 42% of men preferred Outlaws, 10 points higher than women, 37% of whom made Utah Hockey Club their top choice.

Find out more about what Utahns think at the link above.

"Two of the probationary employees who had been on the job for less than two years were flight director...This is particularly problematic since every hurricane hunter mission is required to carry a flight director."

Sunday afternoon no. Sunday evening yes.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Have you tried holding your office hours on Sunday afternoon? We find the students really like it when faculty are available on weekends.

This is horrible news for numerical weather prediction in this country.
The data that comes from these key parts of our weather enterprise saves lives.

DOGE moves to cancel NOAA leases on key weather buildings https://t.co/QJ71pdsd1A

[Jim Steenburgh @ProfessorPowder]

Just released statement from the American Meteorological Society urging strong support of NOAA and federal science agencies for the continued success of the weather enterprise and American people.

[Bryan Norcross @bryannorcrosstv]

MY OPINION: There was a plan to dismember and partially privatize NOAA and the National Weather Service in 1995. It was a bad idea then, and weakening those critical public-safety agencies is a worse idea now. More at https://t.co/Xr7jOWB8D4

And to clarify as this post is ambiguous, itwas not fulfilled for reasons not related to the cuts.

[Jim Steenburgh @ProfessorPowder]

The NOAA G-IV recon flight was not fulfilled due to the cuts. I've taken that post down.

[Jim Steenburgh @ProfessorPowder]

@jaycordeira Thanks for the clarification!
