| "Please Pay Us" say meteorologists. |
As I reported this morning, National Weather Service meteorologists, who are federal employees, are working so that people can get severe weather warnings and such, but they're not being paid while Congress dithers with the government shutdown.
Not surprisingly, these meteorologists are not happy about going unpaid.
So, meteorologists at the NWS office in Anchorage, Alaska found an ingenious way to protest the lack of pay. Every forecast cycle, the NWS puts out something called a forecast discussion, that only hard core weather geeks like me read. The discussion basically lays out the scientific reasoning behind the forecasts they've issued.
