Who cares. He grew up around rural folks and hasn’t forgotten where he came from. I understand you can’t relate to that. To you and other democrats “working people” is code for criminals, welfare recipients, and illegal immigrants. To the rest of us it means people who actually move this nation forward.

Cloud seeding is a form of public relations to say “at least we’re trying” to end droughts. Throwing some silver iodide in a cloud isn’t going to do anything to a storm that is large enough to produce appreciable precipitation. It might cause a few sprinkles from a cumulus cloud that otherwise wouldn’t have rained. There are also legal ramifications since it had been argued that cloud seeding is a form of theft — you are stealing the water from areas downstream of where you seeded. The ironic thing is that project Stormfury got axed in the late 60s after they seeded a hurricane and it happened to make a left turn to the Eastern seaboard shortly thereafter. It would be funny if this makes them think twice about seeding in the UAE, although it’s a bummer that they didn’t seed this storm (or at least they claim to have not seeded it LOL).

Huh? What do lunch breaks have to do with anything? You think that’s an actual workers rights issue. Hahahaha.

The garbage is most concentrated over my area

And 16 years ago yesterday I believe Everett got 7” of snow from a CZ.

16 years ago RIGHT NOW a graupel storm of EPIC proportion was about to decend upon those of us residing in Clark County. Hard to believe this snow pellet party is officially old enough to drive!

This G.O.P. Senate Candidate Says He Grew Up on a Family Farm. Not Exactly. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/politics/dave-mccormick-farm-pennsylvania.html?unlocked_article_code=1.lk0.HeJZ.eU8fShmxtL54 At least @SilverFallsAndrew is not alone in pretending to understand anything about what "working folks" actually means.

Just saw the radar loop. That’s as impressive as it gets. I saw reports of over 6 inches. Looks like the Dubai government said there wasn’t any cloud seeding missions during the storm. They have done it in the past though. I’m not a fan of cloud seeding or any other weather intervention done by man. We need to let Mother Nature run its course. “DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The National Center of Meteorology, a government task force responsible for cloud seeding missions in the United Arab Emirates, said it had not carried out the weather modification technique in the run-up to the heavy storms that caused flooding in places like Dubai. The organization told CNBC that it did not dispatch pilots for seeding operations before or during the storm that struck the UAE on Tuesday.” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna148263

Hopefully y'all can be here through the offseason this year.

Welcome back! We just thought you were on warm season hiatus.

Pretty enjoyable pattern overall. Some places have actually chalked up three consecutive freezing mins in spite of the warm days. IMBY I had two which is only the second time this century I've seen back to back freezing mins after April 15. Going forward things look kind of similar although not quite as cold with the nights.

Looks like I can post again! My account got messed up big time for some reason.

12Z ECMWF is quite a bit drier than its 00Z run.

It's pretty shitty out there today.

Nothing before February is winter!

breezy here too but not super windy yet

When is the wind supposed to hit? I gotta take the edmonds ferry around 5:30 pm

Extremely windy out there. Gusts 35-40. Feels chilly too with a temp of 58 and DPs in the 20s.

I did a Jesse react, since he has you blocked.

Damp and overcast, picked up 0.01" of light drizzle this morning.

Looks like a dangerous marine blast incoming for tomorrow! Stock up now!!

The gusty winds died off here but we kept enough that it only dropped to 45. Already up to 54 this morning.

00z EPS looked pretty good overall. Would be nice if it would trend a little wetter.
