First Warning Forecast: Blowing snow, tidal flooding, and frigid temperatures - wtkr.com

Meteorologist Kristy Steward's First Warning Forecast

*** Blizzard Warning 7 PM Friday - 7 PM Saturday for the Eastern Shore (Accomack, Northampton)
*** Winter Storm Warning 10 PM Friday - 4 PM Saturday for Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Hampton, Poquoson, York, Gloucester, Mathews, Currituck
*** Winter Weather Advisory 7 PM Friday - 4 PM Saturday for inland locations and the Outer Banks

Good Friday night! Our second winter storm in a week is underway. The cold front to our northwest is beginning to merge with the strengthening low pressure system to our southeast right over the top of Hampton Roads. Winds will pick up and bring the threat of tidal flooding as well as power outages. Behind the system, we'll have Arctic air.

Some rain showers are beginning now that will transition over to snow from the northwest to the southeast 9 PM - 12 AM. Snow looks to move out 7 AM - 10 AM Saturday with it lingering over the Eastern Shore until Noon.

Snow totals will be 1-5" for most with the higher totals being along the coast in the Peninsulas and Southside, lower totals inland and across the Outer Banks. The Eastern Shore is the bulls-eye for this event, seeing 6-8".

Winds will gust up to 50 MPH along the Eastern Shore, 45 MPH along the coast, and 35 MPH inland. This means we'll see blowing heavy snow overnight, even rare blizzard conditions on the Eastern Shore and possible power outages. These strong winds will bring us minor tidal flooding with 1-2' inundation Saturday morning around 6 AM. Also expect to see 7-10' breaking waves in the Atlantic.

Winds start to calm down late Saturday night, but Arctic air filters in. Overnight lows in the mid-teens feeling like the single digits. These are dangerous wind chill values. Stay indoors and protect your pets, plants, and pipes.

Following this event, we'll gradually warm up and see a good amount of sunshine Sunday into the workweek. High temperatures Sunday in the upper 30s, mid 40s Monday, upper 40s Tuesday, and mid to upper 50s Wednesday. Our temperatures top out in the mid 60s Thursday. We'll have a cold front move through late Thursday, bringing scattered rain showers later Thursday into Friday morning. High temperatures will be cooler, but seasonable next Friday in the low 50s behind this front.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
