PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
Which of the things I said are not true?

Voter Registration
https://www.allsides.com/translator/voter-registration
For many on the right, the effort to thoughtfully ensure proper registration is a sensible and crucial part of a fair, just American voting system - even basic ballot integrity. For many on the left, however, these attempts intentionally (or not) make it more difficult for poor and minority Americans to cast their votes (“making voting harder”)- thus tilting elections towards conservative politics. In turn, they press for electoral reform efforts (“making voting easier”) similarly seen as calculated to tilt the electorate to the left.
While both efforts may hold value, there seems to be remarkably little meeting in the middle - with each side portraying the others’ efforts as a misguided power-grab. From perspective of someone trying to ensure correct voting tallies, for instance, it can be frustrating when the tiniest incidental expense to obtain a free voter ID card is supposed to be equivalent to a racist poll tax. Overall, progressives typically disdain the concept of voter identification, denouncing it as a racist conspiracy to disenfranchise minority voters.

An overwhelming majority (81%) of respondents also said they support voters being required to show ID in order to vote, including 62% of Democrats, even as critics contend voter ID laws suppress turnout and unfairly discriminate against groups like low-income, elderly and minority voters.
Whites as oppressors, Black people as oppressed
I don't have the links now, but Hawkstwelve posted a poll about how the number of young white people believe are oppressors has skyrocketed recently
