Distracted 

“For in the years leading into a dark age, societies often exhibit an inability to perceive or act upon a looming threat, such as a declining resource. Twilight cultures begin to show a preference for veneer and form, not depth and content; a stubborn blindness to the consequences of actions, from leadership on down.” – Distracted by Maggie Jackson

NOAA Releases Spectacular First Images From New GOES-16 Satellite

NOAA Releases Spectacular First Images From New GOES-16 Satellite

The spectacular first images from NOAA's powerful new GOES-16 satellite were released Monday, providing the most vivid look yet at our hemisphere from a geostationary weather satellite.

GOES-16 first made headlines when it launched Nov. 19, 2016, under the name GOES-R, and was renamed after reaching orbit. NOAA is describing the new imagery that it's sending out as "high-definition from the heavens".

January 24, 2017 Next Week’s Weather

While the weather will be a few degrees above normal in the next week, there is hardly much to bring one cheer in the coming week, with clouds and gray skies expected to predominate throughout the next week. Mid-day tomorrow we will have a brief period of sun, but even Sunday — my birthday — won’t be that sunny. No big storms expected once we get through the slop of tonight. At least it won’t be cold.
