#Slammers #Artic #Sled #Mystery #Figure #Freeze,gnnJacksonville to see temperatures in the 80s after deep freeze
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Bundle up this weekend! While the chill lingers, a dramatic warmup is on the horizon.
This January brought over a dozen official freezes, but the cold’s grip will soon loosen. Though frosty mornings persist this weekend, they could be the season’s last gasp. Last February not one freeze occurred marking an early end to Winter and we should see a repeat this year.
Our Winter will start to fade fast
A pattern reversal arrives next week, replacing arctic air with milder breezes and pushing temperatures into the 70s. February brings even more warmth, with the potential for 80-degree days.
The 80s are several days out but you can at least count on milder 70s next week. The jet stream’s new, less wavy path blocks frigid air from reaching as far south, providing a much-needed break from the chill. This shift follows a weather pattern called the Negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO), which brought colder conditions earlier in January.
Freezing temps Saturday morning across Georgia and into north inland Florida. As we move into the second half of January, weather models predict a shift to the Positive Phase of the NAO and AO.
East coast warms up with above average temperatures with a cool down on the west coast early in February. So, keep those winter coats handy for a few more days, Jacksonville, but get ready to trade the parkas for the shorts. Spring weather is on its way!
Copyright 2025 by WJXT News4JAX – All rights reserved.
After a deep freeze that brought record-breaking cold temperatures to Jacksonville, Florida, residents can finally expect some relief as temperatures are set to rise into the 80s this week.The sudden shift in weather comes as a welcomed change for many who have been bundled up in layers and battling the icy conditions. With sunny skies and warm temperatures in the forecast, it’s the perfect opportunity to get outside and soak up the sun.
Whether you’re planning a day at the beach, a picnic in the park, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll around town, be sure to take advantage of this brief reprieve from the winter chill. Don’t forget to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and make the most of this taste of springtime weather in the midst of winter.

Trump Hiring Freeze Leaves USPTO Backlog Attack Plan in Limbo
“Former USPTO Deputy Director Derrick Brent recently wrote that the Office is ‘now at an inflection point that requires us to build examination capacity to achieve our long-term pendency goals.’”
Donald Trump’s many executive actions on day one of his presidency included implementing a hiring freeze across the federal government. The order put hiring on hold for all Federal civilian employees, until such time as “the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in consultation with the Director of OPM and the Administrator of the United States DOGE Service (USDS), shall submit a plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government’s workforce through efficiency improvements and attrition.”The structure of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is being challenged in court, with complaints filed on January 20 by worker advocacy groups and private citizens. The DOGE was slated to be run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, but Ramaswamy was reportedly asked to leave this week.
What this all means for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which is still dealing with a patent backlog, is unclear. The current backlog stands at 826,736 unexamined applications/ 26.1 months total pendency for patents. The April 2024 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees predicted the backlog to increase to 820,200 by FY 2026 before decreasing to 780,000 by FY 2029.
In July, former USPTO Director Kathi Vidal said the Office was tackling the backlog in part via a concerted hiring effort. The agency hired 644 patent examiners in FY 23 and was on target to exceed its goal of hiring 850 examiners in FY 24. This push was planned to continue through FY 25.
Vidal in part blamed reduced hiring targets in response to a predicted slowdown in patent filings for 2020 and 2021, during the pandemic, for the significant increase in the backlog, which some have said represents an all-time high for the Office. The decrease in filings turned out to be “more modest and short-lived than expected,” said Vidal, and the reduced hiring targets left the agency unable to keep up.
More recently, former USPTO Deputy Director Derrick Brent, prior to his resignation and Coke Stewart’s appointment to take his place as Acting agency head, penned a Director’s Blog post explaining that the Office is “now at an inflection point that requires us to build examination capacity to achieve our long-term pendency goals.”
Hiring has typically played a key role in reducing patent pendency. In 2007, due to concerns about the USPTO backlog of 730,000 unexamined patent applications at the time, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) presented a report to Congress that found the Office’s hiring efforts were not sufficient to reduce the backlog. The backlog subsequently decreased over time, after various new approaches to hiring were implemented.
The USPTO told IPWatchdog the Office has no comment on the hiring freeze.
Back to the Office?
Trump has also mandated that federal government employees come back to the Office five days per week, something that would be virtually impossible for the USPTO, which has remote workers all over the country. Dennis Crouch reported today that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has now issued implementation guidance that Crouch noted includes “strict timelines and requirements that could force dramatic changes at the USPTO, where remote work has been a cornerstone of operations for decades.”
The USPTO began its telework program in 1997. As of 2023, nearly 13,000 of the USPTO’s approximately 14,000 employees worked remotely.
During IPWatchdog LIVE 2024, former USPTO Director Andrei Iancu criticized certain aspects of the Office’s remote work policy. Iancu said remote work has “done great things for the Office,” but “since the pandemic ended the vast majority are not coming back in… If these examiners come straight into a remote environment, culturally, they don’t bond as they used to in the past.”
Former USPTO Commissioner for Patents Robert Stoll replied that “[in person] work is not coming back…so, I think we need to find tools that simulate in person training and community,” and Iancu largely agreed but said there are other steps that can be taken—such as requiring the academy to be in person again and requiring two years of on-site work—that would help with USPTO morale problems.
There likely will be many challenges to Trump’s Return to Office mandate.

The recent hiring freeze imposed by President Trump has left the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in a state of uncertainty as they struggle to address their growing backlog of patent applications.The USPTO, responsible for granting patents to inventors and businesses, has seen a significant increase in the number of applications in recent years. With the hiring freeze in place, the agency is unable to hire new examiners to help process these applications in a timely manner.
This backlog not only delays the approval of new patents, but also hinders the USPTO’s ability to implement their Backlog Attack Plan, a program aimed at reducing the backlog and improving efficiency within the agency.
Without the necessary resources to fully implement this plan, the USPTO is at risk of falling even further behind in processing patent applications, potentially harming inventors, businesses, and the overall economy.
As the hiring freeze continues, it is crucial for the Trump administration to consider the impact it is having on agencies like the USPTO and take action to ensure that they have the resources they need to effectively carry out their mission.

Hiring Freeze, Ending Telework Would Devastate USPTO
By Dani Kass ( January 23, 2025, 11:55 PM EST) — The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office would be uniquely harmed if forced to follow the Trump administration’s return to office mandate, given its nearly 30-year history of telework that has led to 96% of its employees being permanently remote….

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is facing potential turmoil as rumors swirl about a potential hiring freeze and the end of telework for its employees. Both of these actions could have devastating effects on the agency and its ability to fulfill its mission of promoting innovation and economic growth.A hiring freeze at the USPTO would mean that the agency would not be able to fill crucial positions, leading to understaffing and increased workloads for current employees. This could result in delays in processing patent and trademark applications, ultimately harming inventors, entrepreneurs, and businesses who rely on the USPTO to protect their intellectual property.
Ending telework for USPTO employees would also have negative consequences. Telework has been shown to increase employee productivity, satisfaction, and retention. Many USPTO employees have been successfully teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic, and forcing them back into the office could disrupt their work-life balance and morale.
It is crucial that the USPTO be able to attract and retain top talent in order to fulfill its important role in the economy. A hiring freeze and the end of telework would only serve to drive employees away and weaken the agency’s ability to carry out its mission.
It is imperative that the USPTO leadership reconsider these potential changes and work to find alternative solutions that will ensure the agency can continue to operate effectively and efficiently. The future of innovation in the United States depends on it.

Broad exemptions to Trump’s federal hiring freeze begin to take shape
The Trump administration is laying out sweeping exceptions to its governmentwide hiring freeze, likely bringing down the number of impacted positions to less than half of those in government.
The Defense Department is so far exempting all of its civilian positions from the freeze, according to multiple sources, allowing hiring for roughly 750,000 roles to continue. President Trump signed an executive order instituting the freeze on Monday shortly after his inauguration, but allowed for exceptions for positions related to immigration enforcement, national security or public safety.
Those exemptions, as well as the carve outs for positions related to distribution of benefits to veterans, Medicare recipients and Social Security recipients, will allow large swaths of the federal government to continue hiring. In guidance on the freeze, the Office of Personnel Management, Matthew Vaeth and Charles Ezell, the acting directors of the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management, respectively, informed agency heads they could exempt any position tied to “essential activities” that protect life and property similar to those exempted during government shutdowns. In recent shutdown plans during the Biden administration, agencies planned to require about 1.4 million, or 66%, federal employees to stay on the job during a funding lapse.
In 2017 after Trump issued his freeze, Defense issued widespread exemptions but did freeze hiring in some areas. A department official declined to weigh in on its approach this time around.
“The Department of Defense will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the executive orders issued by the president, ensuring that they are carried out with utmost professionalism, efficiency and in alignment with national security objectives,” the official said. “We will provide status updates as we are able.”
A spokesperson for the Homeland Security Department declined to comment on whether they would exempt their entire workforces, though employees within some parts of DHS—such as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services—said either that their offices would be impacted or that they had not yet heard anything. The language of Trump’s order suggests Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, either in whole or in part, would be exempt in order to carry out Trump’s immigration and border security crackdown.
One DHS employee said he was in the middle of the hiring process for a staffer and he was told to continue the process for now, even if he does not expect it to go through.
“I’ll make my selection and if it is subject to the freeze, nothing will happen with it and I’ll have to hope my selection doesn’t move on to a private sector job,” the employee said.
The Veterans Affairs Department appears poised to exempt employees at the Veterans Benefits Administration, but Trump’s pick to lead VA, Doug Collins, told lawmakers yesterday he may freeze hiring for some health care staff. Collins told Democratic senators concerned about the impact of a freeze they were falsely assuming that a vacancy equated to an actual need for the department.
“We’ll take a look at the current levels of employees that we have and where they’re properly located,” Collins said. “We will work under the executive order he has given us.”
The administration will allow incoming employees with job offers in hand prior to Jan. 20 to onboard into their jobs if their start date was scheduled for on or before Feb. 8. Anyone whose start date was slated for after Feb. 8 will see that offer rescinded. Agency heads should have already formally rescinded those offers, but can now request special permission from OPM to reinstate them.
Positions that are still vacant must have any job postings taken down and any correspondence with prospective applicants must cease, OPM and OMB said. Agencies can still hire for seasonal employees, certain internships and fellowship programs, for internal career ladder promotions and when not doing so would conflict with applicable law.
Exemptions must be approved in writing by Amanda Scales, the new chief of staff at OPM. Scales came into government as an appointee after previously working at Elon Musk’s xAI. Scales has been listed as the point of contact for all of OPM’s guidance since Trump took office, including for lists that will lead to layoffs of employees working in diversity offices and a compiling of all recent hires who are still in their probationary periods and therefore easy to fire en masse.
Despite the broad carve outs, the order is still likely to have significant impacts on agencies and potentially pronounced fallout to their missions. In some cases after Trump’s hiring freeze to start his previous term, it took some agencies years to recover from the backlog of vacancies. Most agency leaders ended the administration suggesting they were trying to rebuild their workforces, though virtually all of them wound up with fewer employees at the end of his term.
Trump’s freeze this time around is set to expire after 90 days, though agencies will first have to submit plans—in consultation with OMB and Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency—to permanently reduce their rolls through efficiencies and attrition. The Internal Revenue Service will face a longer freeze, per Trump’s order.
Defense One’s Lauren Williams contributed to this report.
In recent weeks, the broad exemptions to President Trump’s federal hiring freeze have started to become clearer. While the freeze initially applied to all federal agencies, certain positions and departments have been granted exceptions due to their critical roles in national security, public health, and safety.One of the most notable exemptions is the Department of Veterans Affairs, which has been allowed to continue hiring in order to ensure that veterans receive the care and services they need. Additionally, positions related to cybersecurity and counterterrorism have also been exempted from the freeze, as these roles are crucial in protecting the country from threats.
These exemptions come as a relief to many federal employees and agencies who were concerned about the impact of the hiring freeze on their ability to fulfill their duties. However, there are still uncertainties surrounding the long-term effects of the freeze and how it will impact the federal workforce as a whole.
As the exemptions to the hiring freeze continue to take shape, it will be important for federal agencies to communicate openly with their employees about any changes and updates. It is also crucial for the Trump administration to carefully consider the implications of the freeze on government operations and ensure that essential services are not compromised.

Trump’s new Justice Department leadership orders a freeze on civil rights cases
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s new Justice Department leadership has put a freeze on civil rights litigation and suggested it may reconsider police reform agreements negotiated by the Biden administration, according to two memos obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.
Attorneys in the department’s Civil Rights Division were ordered not to file any new complaints, amicus briefs or other certain court papers “until further notice,” one of the memos said.
Another memo directed attorneys to notify leadership of any settlements or consent decrees — court-enforceable agreements to reform police agencies — that were finalized by the Biden administration within the last 90 days.
It said the new administration “may wish to reconsider” such agreements, raising the prospect that it may abandon two consent decrees finalized in the final weeks of the Biden administration in Louisville, Kentucky, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Those agreements, reached after investigations found police engaged in civil rights violations, still need to be approved by a judge. They were among 12 investigations into law enforcement agencies launched by the Civil Rights Division under Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The Minneapolis City Council earlier this month approved the agreement to overhaul the city’s police training and use-of-force policies in the wake of the 2020 murder of George Floyd.
The Justice Department announced last month it had reached the agreement with Louisville to reform the city’s police force after an investigation prompted by the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor in 2020 and police treatment of protesters.
The memos, sent by new chief of staff Chad Mizelle, is a sign of major changes expected in the Civil Rights Division under Trump. His pick to lead the division is Harmeet Dhillon, a well-known conservative attorney who last year made an unsuccessful bid for Republican National Committee chair.
The Justice Department under the first Trump administration curtailed the use of consent decrees, and the Republican was expected to again radically reshape the department’s priorities around civil rights.
It’s unclear how long the “litigation freeze” may last. The memo said the move was necessary to ensure “that the federal government speaks with one voice in its view of the law and to ensure that the President’s appointees or designees have the opportunity to decide whether to initiate new cases.”
In a controversial move, the new leadership at the Justice Department under President Trump has ordered a freeze on civil rights cases. This decision has sparked outrage among civil rights advocates and has raised concerns about the future of civil rights enforcement in the country.The freeze on civil rights cases is seen as a significant departure from the previous administration’s approach to civil rights, which prioritized addressing issues such as police misconduct, voting rights, and discrimination in housing and employment. Critics of the new policy argue that it will undermine the progress that has been made in advancing civil rights in recent years.
The decision to freeze civil rights cases comes as the Justice Department is undergoing a major shakeup, with many of the top officials who oversaw civil rights enforcement being replaced by individuals who are seen as less committed to upholding civil rights protections. This has further raised concerns about the department’s ability to effectively enforce civil rights laws and hold accountable those who violate them.
As the new leadership at the Justice Department continues to roll out its agenda, it is clear that civil rights advocates will be closely monitoring their actions and pushing back against any efforts to weaken civil rights enforcement. The fight for civil rights is far from over, and it is more important than ever to stand up for the rights of all Americans.

Power outages due to winter weather conditions crept up throughout the morning on Tuesday as temperatures dipped below freezing and snow began to blanket Louisiana.
At midday, Entergy was reporting around 3,500 outages throughout the state, with Orleans Parish accounting for a little over 200.
“We are monitoring closely and so far are seeing only limited impacts,” said Entergy New Orleans spokesperson Beau Tidwell. “We’re encouraging everyone to stay off the roads; vehicle impacts can cause outages.”
The power cuts have been intermittent since the snow began to fall and the largest in the metro area, which affected around 2,000 customers in Kenner early in the morning, was quickly resolved.
Tidwell said he didn’t yet have information as to what was causing any of the power outages.
Entergy Louisiana said it was experiencing scattered outages due to winter weather and would work to restore power, but that crew mobility may be limited due to icy conditions. Estimated restoration times will be provided no later than 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Entergy said Monday it had 1,600 workers on standby to assist with outages statewide and would suspend all disconnects through Sunday.
Here’s where power is already out, and when it should be restored:
St. Tammany Parish
Washington-St. Tammany Electric Cooperative had about 2,000 customers out earlier on Tuesday, with most of the outage concentrated near the parish border north of Folsom. All but a handful were reconnected by midday, according to the coop’s information page.
Cleco also had several hundred customers out in the Covington and Slidell areas, according to the utility’s outage map. It was showing that number was halved by midday at just above 300 still in the dark.
Jefferson Parish
The first of the outages hit about 2,230 residents in Kenner at about 8 a.m. Tuesday, according to Entergy’s outage map. By 8:17 a.m., the map indicated power was restored to majority of customers.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
Recently, the New Orleans area experienced power outages during a rare freeze and snow event. The extreme weather conditions caused disruptions in electricity supply, leaving many residents without power for hours.As the city braced for the winter storm, utility companies struggled to keep up with the increased demand for electricity. The power outages affected homes, businesses, and even some critical infrastructure, causing inconvenience and potential safety hazards for those affected.
Despite the challenges posed by the severe weather, local authorities and utility crews worked tirelessly to restore power to affected areas. Residents were urged to stay indoors, conserve energy, and check on vulnerable neighbors during this time of need.
As the winter storm passed and temperatures began to rise, power was gradually restored to the New Orleans area. However, the event served as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for extreme weather events and the need for reliable infrastructure to withstand such conditions in the future.
