Staffing shortage puts office that forecasts weather for SFO in ‘uncharted waters’
A National Weather Service office in the Bay Area that provides weather forecasts for major California, Hawaii and Nevada airports, including San Francisco International Airport, is critically low on staffing amid a federal hiring freeze.
The Center Weather Service Unit Oakland, which is located within the Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control center in Fremont, is down to just one meteorologist, according to Dalton Behringer, a local steward for the National Weather Service employees organization. #weather #SFBA #SFO #NWS

Straight out of a dystopian movie, this clip shows a group of people cheering the unveiling of one of 33 speed cameras that went live in #SanFrancisco #sfba this week.
I think these cameras are a giveaway to the supplier. It’s very difficult to find out how much these cameras cost, but it appears to be around $50k per camera per year, or $8M for a five-year pilot period hxxps://banthecams.org/posts/2024/12/29/san-francisco-speed-cameras/. They are operated by Verra Mobility (Redflex). If the city really wants to slow cars down, there are other traffic-calming techniques that are much cheaper in the long run.
I’ve also found it distasteful that WalkSF has been continually promoting these speed cameras under the guise of “pedestrian safety”, while having events sponsored by Verra Mobility. Smells super astroturfy to me. hxxps://www.instagram.com/walksf/p/C-_SnX9SGnO

Lindsey Wildlife Museum 
watercolor
I painted the Lindsay Wildlife Museum several years ago. It's now called Lindsay Wildlife Experience. A wonderful place to learn about local wildlife. I have such great memories of taking my kids there.

a beautiful moment 
we love our local restaurant Rose Indian Cuisine, delivering to our apartment even though we live in the neighborhood.
last night when i placed our usual online delivery order, i sent a quick message that we're moving to the other side of town and would miss Rose so much. later, when the doorbell rang, it was the chef himself who brought our dinner to us.
what a special surprise and honor to meet him. we feel so blessed.

Winter storms in March can be very interesting.
California’s coldest storm system of the winter approaches, as atmospheric river takes aim
A major winter storm, fueled by a renewed atmospheric river, will bring heavy rain and mountain snow to both Northern and Southern California on Wednesday and Thursday.
Heavy rain and gusty winds will impact Wednesday’s commute around the Bay Area, while several feet of snow will begin piling up in the Sierra, including Tahoe.
By Wednesday evening and into Thursday morning, showers and thunderstorms will linger locally, while the pulse of heavy precipitation will shift southward, bringing several inches of rain and mountain snow to Central and Southern California. #weather #CAwx #SFBA

The WH techbro terrorists plot to privatize the Presidio.
This is an aspect of their larger plan replace the nation with their sick fantasy network state.
I want to point out that Lucas films, and the Disney family museum are located in the Presidio, as well as multiple businesses that would care deeply about their locations near Fort point.

My children (now very grown!) spent their childhoods in this place, the SF Botanical Garden, kind of their backyard.
This afternoon I walked with them here one more time before I move to another side of town.
The tulips were in full bloom this afternoon. 
Successive storms to impact U.S. West Coast with rain and snow
Two atmospheric rivers (ARs) along with a low-pressure system are forecast to bring significant precipitation to much of the U.S. West Coast from March 8 to 14, 2025.
The first atmospheric river (AR) is forecast to make landfall over the Pacific Northwest (PNW) on Saturday, March 8, moving south along the coast through March 9. A trough is expected to follow behind the AR, bringing precipitation to Southern California from March 10 to 11, according to the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes (CW3E).
The second AR is forecast to reach the U.S. West Coast on Wednesday, March 12, and move south along the California coast through March 13. #weather #CAwx #WestCoastwx #SFBA
