Remember all that snow that fell from the Carolinas to Boston? I bet you assume this has been quite a snow season overall. Well, for the Lower 48, this is the least snowy season (through February) for any year since at least 1940-41 when looking at all years through February. Thanks humans!

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

The Pentagon burned through $5.6 billion worth of munitions in the first two days of its Iran assault, according to U.S. officials, alarming some on Capitol Hill over how quickly the military has depleted scarce supplies of America’s most advanced weaponry.

BalancedWx Special: A further deep dive on the southern Michigan tornadoes - and implications for the NWS severe weather warning program Meteorologists have to be able to be self-reflective and open to constructive criticism after weather events with serious societal impacts

MI Gov. Whitmer calling for a fed investigation as to why no tornado watch was issued for Friday's tornadoes in SW MI created a stir in the wx community. It stirred me to explain why I think we need to be open to such criticism & how such an event shows the need for changes. tinyurl.com/y8hnh5bj

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

CMIP6 trends over the last 13 years (red) and the 13 years before (black) (using the screened simulations), along with the estimate trends from FR26 over (roughly) the same periods.

Is there an acceleration in global warming expected in the CMIP6 climate models? yes! But not as easy to detect in the real world.

Striking signal for much above-normal temperatures across California, the Great Basin, northern Rockies and Desert Southwest from March 15-20. Temperatures will be more typical of summer than early spring (potentially 25 degrees above normal) in many areas and monthly records could be shattered.

Chris Wright saying "I made 5 calls for 5 scientists"

IPCC: thousands of scientists, years of writing and multiple rounds of peer review.

The DOE Climate Working Group report: β€œI made five calls for five scientists.”

Dear DOE: That’s not how you assemble a climate assessment. That’s how you assemble a panel for cable news.
