Last chart I posted showed #Flyers and #Habs with similar metrics, this one is all advantage #Canes. 1st overall PK, btw.

These are rolling mean metrics, over a window of 5 games. This allows to see overall & localized trend. I'm sure the #GoHabsGo would like to get back to that mid December to mid January period where they kept getting better

Layoffs and potential closures of key facilities raise worries about NOAA's future

"That NOAA contractor also told NPR that the potential closure of the Maryland weather forecasting facility is especially concerning. "Anything that is getting canceled with the weather program is a terrible idea," the contractor says. "Loss of an entire facility would hamper our ability to do our jobs, predict the weather properly, help protect people and property."

McLean says if lease terminations happen, that would be "remarkably stupid," and that a closure in Maryland could mean the agency would have trouble providing accurate forecasts that serve a wide swath of people from mariners to pilots.  McLean says the products at the College Park facility "are distributed to the weather forecast offices across the country.""
