[@kathrynjarlov5166]

Thank you for your support of the national weather service and the educated and experienced people who work there.

Thanks for your comments about the value of the National Weather Service!

[@lb5712petelemonade]

Thank you for pointing out that importance of the national weather service!

☔🌧Happy Veteran's Day. Thanks to all those that served and continue to serve to protect our Nation.🌦☔ The National Weather Service (NWS) is proud to employ 1,034 U.S. military veterans -- about a quarter of our total workforce. (Info from Dept. of Commerce 2020)

[@TJ-id6ee]

Thank you and Happy Veteran's Day!

[@davidpowellseattle]

The soap box is an important place to be when protections for vital functions are needed. Thanks Michael!

[@DogBeast221]

Are cuts to the NWS in the forecast? Michael sounded quite distressed.

[@Smokeyham]

Definitely need to protect the funding for the National Weather Service!

[@SeptemberMeadows]

Certain people in the government and who spend gobs of money for government officials are global warming deniers or just don't care. They will want to gut or close any agency that brings awareness to something that impacts their ability to make and hoard money, at everyone else's expense.

[@shirleysmith9421]

Agree 👍‼️

[@rebeccamoore4177]

Completely agree with you on funding! Let your representatives know!

[@dcsblessedbees]

Thanks Michael, I am so grateful for the vital forecasting you provide for us on a daily basis, even on weekends and holidays! Happy Veterans Day to all, and Happy Birthday to our great state, which was admitted to the Union on today's date 135 years ago.

That the interior of B.C. gets more arctic air is very evident to those of us that grew up in Whatcom county where the northeast winds create a very different winter experience.

Thank you, Michael! Happy Veterans Day to all the veterans out there, and thank you for your service to our beloved country! Have a great one everyone! 😃

[@eccramer]

Mike I was wondering if you were going to make any statements about the clear value of the NWS and NOAA. Without getting too political I’m very worried about the clear and focused policy to defund, degrade, and privatize those services.

[@abellawindowcleaning1528]

Or maybe hold at hope that they could be improved? Holding the possibility that fresh eyes could reduce cost and offer a better solution? Look at the success of the folks launching rockets compared to the national efforts.

[@andysf9484]

@@abellawindowcleaning1528 apples and oranges. One is a government agency that provides free weather forecasts for the public where launching rockets is a means to allow another government agency to continue operating because of consistent budget cuts over the past several decades. It’s very likely, the NWS will be shut down and weather forecasts will only be available to those who can afford it.

[@RadicalEarth]

@@abellawindowcleaning1528 I've a been a professional first responsder in the outdoors for 30 years, and NOAA and NWS are an example of great government. Their forecasts , discussions, alerts, total body of work are literally a matter of life and death. Not perfect, but nothing is, including SpaceX. Defunding the National Weather Service when one considers the great results of NWS, presents the optics of poitical ideology soley opposed to all government, and not one based on merit. Private enterprise entering the mix of NWS is not inherintly bad, but defunding NWS and NOAA is a terrible idea for first responder, public safety and the common good.

Michael WELL DONE with your National Weather Service shout out. Critical resource. In my life I've been a hotshot and smokejumper (10 years). Avalanche Center travel partner volunteer (13 years). Ski patrol (8 years). Search and Rescue (5 years). Not to mention all my outdoor/backcountry recreation on our national public lands. I've been fully geeking out on your YT channel since I found you recently, LOVE IT (my only YT subscription) ....but my local NOAA forecasts, DISCUSSIONS, and alerts have been and hopefully will remain to be a fantastic and fundamentally important public resource. You are right, NOAA et al is where everyone else gets their wx data to monetize (that's ok to a point imo), and that needs to be understood and known. Thank you!

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

Thank you!!

[@glenncombs3471]

I really enjoy your weather info format, and I notice the home units you advertise, which I will be purchasing soon. It occurs to me that a good way to effectively advertise this, and add to your show, might be to check several of these situated at various selected areas around the state, in real time. I live in Kettle Falls, which generally has quite different weather than most of the rest of Washington. This might be a way to bring it all together, for a more total view at a given time. Just a thought.

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

I do that at times. I did my own today but I try to include others a lot also, thanks!

What would you recommend for learning how to read and understand the meteorological charts you show? I have a math and physics background but am rusty on that knowledge.

[@TrevreWxAZ]

Do you think that kind tides also effect mantle convection? My thinking is if the mantle is liquid and the Ocean liquid and the moon effects the ocean why wouldn't it also effect mantle fluid dynamics

[@kristinem9171]

Whoa, drive by whats this about the national weather service funding??

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

Its something that has been thrown around for a couple decades but needs to be continuously brought up to make sure the importance is known.

[@erickeenan7562]

It may be that what you see from NWS is helpful, but the organization could be inefficient and have waste. Government has gotten too big and too intrusive. Calling for accountabiity is long overdue.

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

And yet there are no private companies that are anywhere near ready to take on the task of warning the nation of weather hazards.

[@erickeenan7562]

@@PacificNorthwestWeather Lets see what happens. I am part of a government function, and (imo) we have an appreciable amount of waste in how we are funded and managed. I see much more waste in separate systems that we interact with. It becomes entrenched and seemingly unchangeable. Agendas (mostly hidden) got us here. We can't afford to keep doing what we are doing. For everyones sake, we need revamping.

[@RadicalEarth]

@@erickeenan7562 I have been a professional first responder operating in the outdoor environment for 30 years and NWS and NOAA are fantastic examples of government done well (not perfect but nothing is).

[@kwillow12]

I expect the National Weather Service will be privatized, that is to say: sold to a billionaire. This will happen with a lot of Government services, including Social Security and Medicare, and probably the FAA, SEC, and so on. Its happened before. The usual screenplay is that the Big Business will squeeze every drop of cash out of the service while cutting services, and then toss it back to the Government. Happens quite often with Public Transportation, bus-lines, trains, etc. The gov't takes over the Service and fixes it. I'm thinking that won't happen this time around. This time the oligarchs want people to go without- the billionaires don't "believe" in government serving the People.

[@slartybartfast6868]

The national weather service is not a POLITICAL Agency.

Michael, it’s not that I think you’re wrong, but we have to make sacrifices for our children’s sake. We have no money, the federal government just keeps borrowing more and more, it will not end well unless we address it now.

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

The government will be spending way more in clean up repair and human life when you have huge areas of the nation unprepared for storms.
