  1. Past hour
  2. 18z GFS is , models today have been really bad for the eclipse, hopefully things can trend the other way. Still is 11 days out so there is lots of room for improvement.
  3. GFS and Euro still along ways apart. GFS showing a very wet and phased storm on it's most recent run.
  4. It was a response meant for Phil becsuse he typically finds a way to one-up people, which he did to GHweatherChris when he was having his own medical problems. Btw I'm really sorry about what's happening to you, hopefully things can get figured out soon and you endup okay.
  5. I wish there were a hug react for you guys but until then, . It's utterly stupid as fucc that this is how things are, wishing you the best.
  6. Yeah my brain implant RNS stimulator cyberware that I have works ok but it's not enough without lamotrigene. The operation to put in this experimental RNS was over $120k in total costs so I'm very grateful for all that being approved. Tho it was kinda me just agreeing to be a guinea pig for the operations. I scan my brainwaves and send the data in regularly so they can see how I have seizures up to like 15 a minute at times. Thousands weekly. Without lamotrigene, which costs like $500+ a bottle out of pocket, is simply not worth it. I'll just let my body fail instead if that's what it comes to. I'm grateful that my family lives in the tiny flat we have because so many people don't have that. The ones that walk in our alleyway at night...I know our family has it better, even if I can only put some cots in the livingroom for my kids for when they come over. Their mom decided to go her own way cuz she couldn't handle the stress of my seizure episodes along with taking care of 3 young kids. It was unfortunate but I just decided to remain stoic for my kids. My family here, my current wife and her mom are the most incredible people, along with my kids and @MR.SNOWMIZER @SilverFallsAndrew @Phil @Deweydog @TT-SEA @iFred @BLI snowman @Meatyorologist who have helped me get through some of the toughest parts of my life. With my kids coming over this weekend starting tonight, it's gonna be an adventure. I'm sorry if I forgot to mention someone before. Y'all are so very important.
  7. weather.us has cloud output for multiple levels of the atmosphere -- low, mid, high cloud cover. May be useful as the time draws closer. Having some high clouds would be a different ballgame compared to something like stratus.
  8. Just gotta laugh at this. It's like someone or something is saying "how can we try to screw over as many people as possible" Optimist in me says that maybe it's good that we are getting these kinds of model runs now. Get the horrid runs out of the way now?
  9. I'm sorry to hear that, I am also fighting a losing battle over a prescription right now, and while its not for something as critical as seizures, I still need my medication to function. The crappy thing is that they approved it last year, but they switched pharmacy managers and now the new pharmacy manager won't approve it. My daughter is on lamotrigene for her epilepsy (along with one or 2 other drugs) and the combined out of pocket if she didn't have insurance would be ~$2,000 per month. You can live in a really nice house in a good chunk of the country for that kind of money. I hope you can get it figured out. From my own personal experience, there should be a way to fast track the reviews/approvals. For my insurance company, it was for the doctor to mark the request as "urgent" Unfortunately, for me it just meant them telling me "NO" that much quicker. My prescription is $5k per year out of pocket, not something I can really afford to do.
  10. Huh? I'm confused. I just wanted to let y'all know that I might be having so many seizures that I won't be able to function.
  11. Probably poor timing to say this, but I'm shocked you didn't try to find a way to 1 up him like you did to Chris.
  12. Today
  13. That was quite the line of rain and wind that moved through a few minutes ago! No boomers however.
  14. I’m sorry man. F**k the health insurance industry. Just a bunch of greedy swine.
  15. That would surely get me another PM from him
  16. Probably best to ignore the “climate emergency” accounts on social media. Most of their posts either lack context or are outright false.
  17. Had a field trip to the Salmon Hatchery in Edmonds and got caught in one of the heaviest downpours I've ever seen as we were getting on the buses. I saw it coming on the radar and hurried everybody to the buses a few minutes early but about half the kids still got absolutely soaked. Truly some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen in Western Washington for about 3 minutes. Looking at Wunderground stations nearby, the temperature also fell from 52 to 43 in about 10 minutes when the storm hit.
  18. LOL. Its beautiful when it roars like that. We have gone over there many times to witness it in person.
  19. Wish me luck guys. My most important medication, lamotrigene, has still not been approved this time by the insurance company. I have taken this medication since late 2016 and haven't gone without it since a lengthy observation when I was at OHSU back in 2017. Needless to say, I was into status epilepticus when I was there for extended observation without the medication (it's different than clobazam, which is also important but not as much as lamotrigene). Once I took the medication it was a lot better. I still have lots of seizures but most of them are small and manageable. Some are shittier and I have to get down on the floor when I feel them coming on but those are rare. Without this medication, there is a pretty decent possibility of me slipping into status epilepticus and ending up in the hospital soon. My neurologist said that once it gets bad enough that I need to go into the hospital and they can maybe make it urgent enough to get a temporary supply. I'll try to have y'all stay updated but for now me and my family are worried. In the meantime, it's 50F and cloudy. If this is the last day where I have proper focus then I'm grateful it was a cool and pleasant one without excessive heat.
  20. Thanks you finally convinced me to have an irrational hatred of rain.
