His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

About 14,000 residents were forced from their homes in 2017, many without receiving warnings that flooding was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We committed with Valley Water and the county to not have an incident like (Coyote Creek) to take place again,” Neaves said. “This demonstration is proof of that. … We’ve been taking this incident very seriously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Marin County, California Highway Patrol reported a levee breach near Highway 37 in Novato.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MarinSheriff/status/1096124038659768321\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the Marin County Department of Public Works said no homes are threatened, but it will be at least a couple of days before the water recedes enough for officials to begin examining the damage and making repairs. As the evening commute neared, CHP officers and Caltrans engineers were monitoring the rising water along the highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farther north, the Napa and Russian rivers both continued to rise and are now expected to crest at 4 feet above flood stage overnight. As much as a foot of rain has fallen in the Russian River’s watershed since Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Rabbitt, chairman of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, says that’s better than expected. “There will be a little cleanup to do in some parking lots and some properties that are closer to the river, but we should do fine,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Guerneville School District announced, however, it would be closed on Friday due to flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Napa River is expected to top out just above flood stage at both St. Helena and the north side of the city of Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sausalito, a duplex slid off its foundation and into another residence on Crescent Avenue, possibly because of a mudslide.

Only a handful of vehicles were damaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E reported 17,732 Bay Area customers were still without power as of about 3 p.m. — down from a high of over 31,000 around noon Thursday, as high winds raked much of the region. The regional breakdown at the peak of power outages: North Bay, 9,500; East Bay, 11,241; South Bay, 1,564; Peninsula, 6,409; San Francisco, 3,110.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weather also continues to cause delays and cancellations at Bay Area airports. A spokesman for San Francisco International Airport said 115 of its 1,250 flights have been canceled so far, mostly routes up and down the West Coast. And 315 flights at SFO have been delayed. Six flights were canceled at Oakland International Airport, due to weather conditions in Las Vegas, San Diego and Seattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Totals for the previous 48 hours through 1:15 p.m. Thursday include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chart: Bay Area Rainfall Totals Over Last 48 Hours\" aria-describedby=\"Storm totals through 11:15 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 14.\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-dDvgp\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/dDvgp/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important;\" height=\"1049\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 6:55 p.m. Wednesday:\u003c/strong> More than 8,000 people in the Bay Area were without power Wednesday afternoon following the first wave of a potent atmospheric river storm that has drenched the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said 8,053 Bay Area customers were without electricity as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, down from nearly twice that many just a few hours earlier. The vast majority of those still without power — more than 5,000 customers — are in the South Bay, with another 1,665 in the North Bay and just fewer than 1,000 on the Peninsula.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A PG&E spokesman said that, with more stormy weather on the way, trees, tree limbs and other debris may fall on power lines, damaging equipment and interrupting service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm has also brought some impressive rainfall totals and the promise of serious flooding on the Russian River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, the National Weather Service reported that downtown San Francisco had already set a new daily record for rain on Feb. 13 with 2.13 inches, with more rain expected later in the afternoon and evening.

It also issued a flood warning for the area around the Napa River starting at 11 a.m. Thursday until further notice. Forecasters expect the river to rise above flood stage around noon on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/danbrekke/status/1095827181027057664\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm prompted 135 flight cancellations at San Francisco International Airport and 11 at Oakland International Airport on Wednesday, with most of the affected flights involving departures to and arrivals from Southern California and other West Coast locations. An SFO spokesman said about 300 of their 1,250 flights were experiencing average delays of about 80 to 90 minutes through the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one school district, Two Rock Union in Sonoma County, closed early Wednesday due to flooding, and the Guerneville School District will be closed on Thursday, also due to flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area transit agencies also reported delays — 10 minutes on some BART lines and up to 20 minutes late on some Caltrain trips. Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District said Wednesday night that ferry service in Tiburon on Thursday could be affected due to high winds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/1095860042446893057\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The North Bay, which had the heaviest rainfall by far, experienced the most serious effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scattered road closures were reported across Sonoma County, including roadways in or near Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Bodega Bay, Sebastopol, Forestville and Valley Ford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several roads in and around Windsor, just north of Santa Rosa, experienced significant flooding. That prompted a road closure at Windsor Road and Skylane Boulevard, and local firefighters helped drivers whose vehicles had stalled in water that came up to the wheel wells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/kentphotos/status/1095701334794194944\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service Bay Area office also issued a flood warning for some North Bay creeks and a flood advisory for Bay Area locations with poor drainage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NWS also issued a coastal flood advisory for parts of the coastline and bay shoreline from 4 to 8 a.m. Thursday, saying southerly winds and excessive rainfall combined with the high tide could result in coastal flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.rossvalleyfire.org/services/creek-levels-weather\">Marin County creeks\u003c/a> also showed sharp rises early Wednesday, though all appeared to have crested before reaching flood stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And creeks surged elsewhere, too.

The storm is expected to spread a daylong steady rain over the region on Wednesday, broken up by intermittent heavy downpours. For a finale, the weather system is forecast to unload a second wallop of atmospheric river-fed rain early Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those forecast conditions, on top of a landscape saturated by recent storms, have led the National Weather Service to issue a flash flood watch for the entire Bay Area from late Tuesday through late Thursday morning. A high-wind warning is in effect for higher terrain — elevations of 1,000 feet and up.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723249/weather-geek-why-do-some-parts-of-the-bay-area-always-get-more-rain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\">Weather Geek, Why Do Some Parts of the Bay Area Always Get More Rain?\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11723249/weather-geek-why-do-some-parts-of-the-bay-area-always-get-more-rain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-631415386-e1549313950719.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Brian Garcia, the warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office in Monterey, said the combination of rain, soaked soil and high winds portends trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to put some decent gusts on top of the saturated soil — we’ll probably see a lot of trees down and power outages,” Garcia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOAA’s California-Nevada River Forecast Center’s Coastal forecast rain totals through Friday are ranging from nearly 9 inches in northern Sonoma County to 5 inches in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Much of the North Bay is expected to receive 3 to 5 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Totals at lower elevations are projected to range from 2-plus inches in San Francisco and Oakland to between 1.5 inches and 2 inches along the bay shore and East Bay valleys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That heavy rainfall is expected to cause a rapid rise on the Russian River, which is forecast to crest about 2 feet above flood stage late Thursday. Flows are expected to spike on the Napa River, too, with the river cresting just below flood stage at St. Helena and downtown Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the rest of California is in for a thrashing, too. Of special concern are conditions in the Sierra Nevada and its western foothills, which have received extremely heavy snowfall in the past two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incoming storm is expected to cause snow levels to rise from 2,000 to 3,000 feet Tuesday night to 6,000 to 8,000 feet during the day Wednesday. That means that for some part of the storm, rain will fall on the snowpack. That, in turn, could enhance the runoff down streams and rivers toward reservoirs and valleys below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the reservoirs are near or at the level at which dam managers may be required to begin releasing water to maintain enough room to accommodate floodwaters and runoff later in the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serious flooding is not forecast — yet — though the river forecast center outlook shows sharp rises on the Sacramento River with water cresting above flood stage at several locations. Water is expected to begin flowing through the Yolo Bypass, the huge flood bypass channel that runs north and west of Sacramento, sometime on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heavy rain is forecast throughout Southern California, too, with amounts ranging from 2 to 5 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725603\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11725603\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-1-800x600.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-1-800x600.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-1-160x120.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-1.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A high wind warning has been issued from 10 p.m. Tuesday until 10 a.m. Thursday for the coast and hills above 1,000 feet. \u003ccite>(National Weather Service)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Forecasters were still adjusting forecasts as the storm began to brush the coast on Tuesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NWS Bay Area’s Garcia said that’s because weather models have a hard time predicting exactly where the most potent part of an atmospheric river will reach land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That kind of granular detail doesn’t really make itself known until all the factors really start to come together,” Garcia said. “And the final detail, the core of the highest amount of precipitable water, is very narrow.

Snow fell on Mount Hamilton, Mount Diablo, Mount Tamalpais, on hills surrounding San Jose, across the Santa Cruz Mountains and a portion of Upper Skyline Boulevard in San Mateo County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service even reported a slight dusting of snow on Twin Peaks in San Francisco at approximately 3 a.m. on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/1092787665638957057\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The snow caused some road closures overnight. Highway 17 between Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties was closed for about an hour early Tuesday. Northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101 in unincorporated Marin County were temporarily closed Monday night into early Tuesday morning due to icy conditions, according to the California Highway Patrol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Folks took to social media, posting their photos of the rare event. Philip Klotzbach posted to Twitter Tuesday morning that about 3 inches of snow had fallen on the summit of Mount Diablo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/KQED/status/1092867994839969792\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SarRavani/status/1092812346853011456\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newly installed cameras used to \u003ca href=\"http://www.firesafemarin.org/remote-fire-detection-cameras/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scan for wildfires in Marin County\u003c/a> allowed for online views of snow-dusted peaks, such as on Mt.

Highs will be near 50 with winds gusting to 20 to 30 mph in the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday night will be partly cloudy in the evening, then becoming mostly clear.

Walbrun said the lowest confirmed snow was in Lake County at 1,300 feet, while hills around Livermore also had reports of the white stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Walbrun said he wouldn’t be surprised if they got reports of snow at lower elevations, though San Francisco itself shouldn’t be as hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s even harder to get it in the city just because it’s surrounded by water on all three sides,” Walbrun said. The only places in San Francisco with even the smallest potential for snow sightings would be Twin Peaks or Mount Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The places with a much higher likelihood of accumulation are going to be the peaks in other parts of the Bay Area. Mount Tam, Mount Saint Helena, Mount Diablo and even Skyline Boulevard in the Santa Cruz mountains could see some snow. The best times for the combination of cold and wet weather to bring snow would be between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Be smart in the morning if there’s ice or snow,” Walbrun warned. “Delay your time because it won’t take much to cause accidents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a handy map from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.weather.gov/mtr/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Weather Service\u003c/a> that highlights their Winter Weather Advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11723388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-800x600.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-800x600.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-160x120.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People took to social media to share photos and videos of the unusual Bay Area weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MarinSheriff/status/1092510391836467201\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/chuckclifford/status/1092490797545472000\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/codeuncommenter/status/1092532867001798657\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we eagerly await snowy photos in our newsfeeds tonight, let’s take a wintery stroll through the history of notable Bay Area snowfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1962\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723418\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 573px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11723418\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1962.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"573\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1962.jpg 573w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1962-160x112.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Children playing in the snow at Westmore High School. \u003ccite>(SAN FRANCISCO HISTORY CENTER, SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1939\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723427\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 449px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11723427\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/AAB-8572.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"449\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/AAB-8572.jpg 449w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/AAB-8572-160x143.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fisherman’s Wharf after a snow fall.

We get the same storm systems, so why do parts of the North Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains get hit so much harder?”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As someone with a coffee mug that reads “Weather Geek,” I’ve been called upon to reply. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So to begin: Yes, it’s a real thing. There are parts of the North Bay, which the local office of the National Weather Service defines as stretching all the way to the Sonoma-Mendocino county line, that are well known for their high winter rain totals. Ditto for the area around Mount Tamalpais in Marin County and the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what we’ve seen in our most recent series of storms, during which nearly 10 inches of rain has fallen in the mountains south of San Jose and nearly nine inches has come down in northern Sonoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main cause here, as in regions throughout California and the world, is local topography and what meteorologists term \u003ca href=\"https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=orographic+lifting\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">orographic lifting\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meteorologists point to other factors, too, especially the general tendency for rainfall to increase on the West Coast as one moves from south to north due to large-scale atmospheric factors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, as to that orographic thing: That’s a process in which air colliding with obstacles in the landscape — mountains, ridges and hills — is forced to rise. Rising air cools, and the cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ggweather/status/827669195877908481\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When moisture-laden air is driven across coastal terrain by vigorous winter storm winds, that process of orographic lifting leads to significantly higher amounts of rainfall over the mountains and hills. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, areas to the east of the high terrain are in “rain shadows” that receive dramatically lower amounts of precipitation than sites in or to the west of the mountains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens with orographics … that air flow that’s below two or three thousand feet, or in the case of San Francisco below a thousand feet, it can’t run through the mountains, so it gets forced up over the top,” says veteran Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null. “That process lifts that air up, and our better precipitation-producing clouds are those that have stronger vertical motions. So you get vertical motion, you get more air rising up, you get more precipitation out of it. On the east side, then you get sinking air, which is detrimental to the formation of precipitation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neil Lareau, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, says the orientation of the mountains and ridges in the Bay Area — they generally face southwest — is also important in squeezing out more rainfall from storm winds blowing from that direction. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The southwest-facing mountains “are lifting that really moist layer of marine air … and they’re adding a whole bunch of water to clouds at a low level as the air runs up the mountain slopes,” Lareau says. “Technically, this is called a warm-rain process — you can picture it as really, really intense drizzle that gets added to the storm system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since rain will start much sooner in such orographically favored areas, he says, “those places get a huge amount of rain, both in terms of intensity and duration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/982489479125585920\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hese effects — enhanced orographic rainfall and corresponding rain shadows — can lead to surprisingly dramatic differences in rainfall over short distances.

There are parts of the North Bay, which the local office of the National Weather Service defines as stretching all the way to the Sonoma-Mendocino county line, that are well known for their high winter rain totals. Ditto for the area around Mount Tamalpais in Marin County and the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what we’ve seen in our most recent series of storms, during which nearly 10 inches of rain has fallen in the mountains south of San Jose and nearly nine inches has come down in northern Sonoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So you get vertical motion, you get more air rising up, you get more precipitation out of it. On the east side, then you get sinking air, which is detrimental to the formation of precipitation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neil Lareau, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, says the orientation of the mountains and ridges in the Bay Area — they generally face southwest — is also important in squeezing out more rainfall from storm winds blowing from that direction. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The southwest-facing mountains “are lifting that really moist layer of marine air … and they’re adding a whole bunch of water to clouds at a low level as the air runs up the mountain slopes,” Lareau says. “Technically, this is called a warm-rain process — you can picture it as really, really intense drizzle that gets added to the storm system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since rain will start much sooner in such orographically favored areas, he says, “those places get a huge amount of rain, both in terms of intensity and duration.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And so that leaves a lot of stress on us. And we're doing our best though to stick together and try to make each other cookies and try to keep the morale as high as we can, but at the end of the day we have to go home with all the unknowns of when we're going to see our next paycheck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> And how is that affecting you personally? Are you are you going to have trouble making ends meet paying bills?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Well, this is a rare weekend off for me. And I'm fortunate enough to have the weekend off. But now, when I would get paid this weekend, now I'm going to have to sit down and figure out which bills that I can pay or which ones I can hold off until we know when things are going to reopen and we can get paid again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> And what are you hearing from your colleagues about what their experiences are?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Well, just like any American, all of our stories and situations are different. In my agency, I'm fortunate enough to have a spouse who also works. But many of my colleagues are the single source of income for their entire family. And there are people who are worried about child care, worried about putting food on the table for their families. And in the meantime, they're still having to report to work to fulfill our mission of protecting life and property during this weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> Have you worked during previous shutdowns like in 2013?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> I did work in the previous shutdowns. There was one last year that was a really brief one. And I worked over that weekend. And in 2013, as well. However, those all were resolved before we actually missed our major paychecks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So this feels different?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Oh, this feels a lot different. And the overall climate is just so different. There's so many unknowns and it actually has caused a lot of my co-workers to lose sleep at night, including myself. It's something we talk about in the morning where we're getting ready for the day to start the forecast process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So Roger, we have a storm approaching Northern California like you said earlier. How might this shutdown and what's happening in your office going to impact your work in the office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Well, from a standpoint of the work that we do, we're going to do the best that we can to provide the best forecast to emergency managers and to the public and to the media that we do every day. However, our global forecast is the model which is run by the National Weather Service. There's nobody in the office maintaining that back at headquarters. So our forecast model that we have in the United States, that we produce, is actually becoming degraded because we don't have anybody to maintain that model. And that is going to impact people across the country as our forecasts are going to be more difficult to manage and more difficult to predict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So that means our forecasts may not be as accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Exactly. The accuracy of our forecasts are going down and models across the world are doing a better job than our own models. And here we are supposed to be the leading country with forecasting models, and it's not looking that way right now.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And so that leaves a lot of stress on us. And we're doing our best though to stick together and try to make each other cookies and try to keep the morale as high as we can, but at the end of the day we have to go home with all the unknowns of when we're going to see our next paycheck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> And how is that affecting you personally? Are you are you going to have trouble making ends meet paying bills?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Well, this is a rare weekend off for me. And I'm fortunate enough to have the weekend off. But now, when I would get paid this weekend, now I'm going to have to sit down and figure out which bills that I can pay or which ones I can hold off until we know when things are going to reopen and we can get paid again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> And what are you hearing from your colleagues about what their experiences are?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Well, just like any American, all of our stories and situations are different. In my agency, I'm fortunate enough to have a spouse who also works. But many of my colleagues are the single source of income for their entire family. And there are people who are worried about child care, worried about putting food on the table for their families. And in the meantime, they're still having to report to work to fulfill our mission of protecting life and property during this weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> Have you worked during previous shutdowns like in 2013?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> I did work in the previous shutdowns. There was one last year that was a really brief one. And I worked over that weekend. And in 2013, as well. However, those all were resolved before we actually missed our major paychecks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So this feels different?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Oh, this feels a lot different. And the overall climate is just so different. There's so many unknowns and it actually has caused a lot of my co-workers to lose sleep at night, including myself. It's something we talk about in the morning where we're getting ready for the day to start the forecast process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So Roger, we have a storm approaching Northern California like you said earlier. How might this shutdown and what's happening in your office going to impact your work in the office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Well, from a standpoint of the work that we do, we're going to do the best that we can to provide the best forecast to emergency managers and to the public and to the media that we do every day. However, our global forecast is the model which is run by the National Weather Service. There's nobody in the office maintaining that back at headquarters. So our forecast model that we have in the United States, that we produce, is actually becoming degraded because we don't have anybody to maintain that model. And that is going to impact people across the country as our forecasts are going to be more difficult to manage and more difficult to predict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Siler:\u003c/strong> So that means our forecasts may not be as accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gass:\u003c/strong> Exactly. The accuracy of our forecasts are going down and models across the world are doing a better job than our own models. And here we are supposed to be the leading country with forecasting models, and it's not looking that way right now.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
