Just when we forgot it was winter, Alaska reminds us. Over 6 inches of surprise snow!
I’ve been encouraged by the outpouring of support for all of us at NWS/NOAA. There’s a few misconceptions I’d like to address. My termination wasn’t due to performance or probationary status. But this was never about my situation. The cuts to NOAA/NWS make us all less safe.
I never thought I’d be in this position, but I was unexpectedly terminated from my job as an NWS meteorologist. This isn’t just about me—this impacts the future of weather forecasting. #NWS #NOAA
After record-setting snow last winter, Anchorage’s snow depth has just dropped to 0” in January for just the 4th time over the past 40 years. An ongoing atmospheric river is bringing up to 1-2.5” of rain on frozen ground, causing widespread flooding, with wind gusts up to 55 mph.
New Orleans, LA has received more than double the amount of snowfall we've received here in Anchorage, AK since the start of meteorological winter (Dec. 1). New Orleans: 8.0" Anchorage: 3.8" @NWSNewOrleans, we'd like our snow back. Or at least some King Cake in return. 😉🙃
Beautiful 953mb low over the eastern Bering Sea this morning, fueling a major winter storm with dangerous winds and heavy precipitation across Southcentral AK. A 110 mph wind gust was recorded on the Anchorage Hillside early this morning!
The record high in Kodiak City was broken today. Warm air aloft associated with the high pressure has made it to the surface along parts of the Southcentral coast. Kodiak City observed 58F, breaking the old record of 51F which was set in 1978. #akwx

FACT CHECK: Debunking weather modification claims. No one creates or steers hurricanes; the technology does not exist. Details: noaa.gov/news/fact-chec… @NWS @NOAAResearch
THE @YANKEES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2009! #CLINCHED
Not one of my proudest posts.
Ted Stevens Anchorage Int'l Airport has yet to hit 60°F this spring; the average 1st date is May 12th. The last time the airport didn't hit 60°F by the end of May was 1980! The current forecast indicates a 25% chance of hitting 60°F by the end of May. #AKwx
Landspout tornado spotted near Rusty Point on April 19th! These events, while not rare, go mostly unnoticed due to our topographically diverse area. Credit to Geremy Clarion who captured these pictures. For more info on this, and other phenomena, visit weather.gov/glossary
Delighted to have had the opportunity to speak with @adndotcom about how the @NWS measures snow as Anchorage approaches its all-time seasonal snowfall record!
Anchorage as of today is 4 inches from tying its season snowfall record. Every six hours, meteorologists at the National Weather Service office near Sand Lake use analog tools — a table, a tank and a dipstick — to measure changes in the snow. adn.com/alaska-news/we…
