Bounds of snow in the PNW this week is a loaded gun for potential flooding next week. A Pineapple Express with record amounts of moisture may slam Washington and British Columbia from Monday-Wednesday, possibly dropping up to 10 inches of rain in the Cascades (freezing levels ~8,000 ft).

Official map from NOAA depicting the relative rank of winter 2025-2026 temperatures at a county level across the contiguous U.S. Many counties in the western and central U.S. are depicted in dark red color, signifying record-warmest winter. All other counties in the west and central U.S. are depicted in dark orange colors, signifying a "near record warm" rank.
The official NOAA stats out this week confirm that winter 2025-26 was the warmest on record across a huge portion of the western and central U.S., which has contributed to extremely low mountain snowpack & worsened the CO River crisis. Meanwhile, record March heat is in forecast.

Max, carb lurker.
Amazing work @cdelawalla.bsky.social and Stand Up for Science organizers across the country - thank you!
Agreed. A good cantaloupe is divine and bears no resemblance to what most of us think of as cantaloupe.
Also very much looking forward to one day seeing everybody responsible for these atrocities against our neighbors held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
Reminding myself that the ability to still be shocked - for our hearts to continue to recoil and break anew - is a good thing.
May we never, ever get used to this, until the day we don’t have to.

Thanks for coming out to #StandUpForScience today, Seattle! Huge thanks to the organizers and other speakers.

The draft Nature Record National Assessment is now open for comment!
Take a look and tell us what we got right, what we missed, and what changes you’re seeing where you live.
Your perspective will help shape the final record of nature in the U.S.

When the US govt terminated the National Nature Asst, @phillevin.bsky.social + the author team were determined not to let that stop them.
They re-organized, set up an advisory committee, found funding…and now the brand new Nature Record is open for public comment. 👏🌳👏🌲
Check it out (link below)!

I love this time of year. Red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) in bloom, as seen today on UW campus.

More culture, please!
Honestly didn't realize authoritarianism would be this cheesy.
Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose
The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week
Here's our interview:
Good news: Scientists were wrong about how bad sea level rise is.
Bad news: It’s even worse than we thought.
It looked cool, but it was super inconvenient - no air or light in the back, windows didn't roll down, etc.
I was once in a band that toured in a white, 1970s Oldsmobile hearse.
That’s very kind - thank you!

Next week, capstone students in the ENVS class I'm teaching will present "Environmental Impacts of Large Data Centers"
Most data centers don't get an EIA, so we have to DIY it - come hear their research on 3 proposed centers!

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
Jesus.
