#FedFeed – Spring, snapshots and shamrocks
In this week's Fedfeed, NOAA shares its spring 2016 outlook, NARA promotes its new app, and the Smithsonian shares the history of Shamrocks.
NOAA released its Spring outlook this week. Despite this week’s winter storm, it’s forecasting a warm spring.
The Coast Guard’s “Shutter Shootout” photography contest started on Wednesday.
Federal News Radio collected some of the photo entries into a gallery. Check them out here:
