Really, really lovely cumulonimbus action tonight! I just happened to have my drone in the car and got some solid shots of DT Seattle/Lake Washington/Mercer Island/Bellevue looking north from Skyway. Alas, the focal length of the lens doesn't do the vertical height justice and my WB was off rendering it into semi-gross HDR territory, but still... fun looking weather! It was quite windy- I was flying right at 390 ft and the drone was giving me all sorts of warnings about sustained winds/gusts.
A most incredible snow storm. At times the snowfall rates have been as heavy or slightly heavier than January 2017. Temp 27.5, Dewpoint: 27.1 with gusty east wind and very heavy snow continuing. I'm at 11 1/2" now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! This pic does no justice at all.
NBM is quite an interesting product! Their weighting algorithm is moderately complex and dynamic, though does has some drawbacks as we saw yesterday. For those who don't know, NBM is an attempt by NOAA to create a super probabilistic forecast model that ingests output from all the models above and outputs forecast guidance for local offices that help them to gauge the relative odds of particular weather outcomes. The 'special sauce' is the post-processing, normalization and weighting that they d
Tonight is still uncertain for us. Models are predicting anything from a half inch to three inches of rain. I'm afraid the ones showing storms popping near to just south of us and then propagating southeastward will be correct. That would dump inches of rain over southeast Iowa down into Missouri, but much less here.
My ponds are running about half full atm, the streams have running water for the first time this spring. 5 additional inches of rain will just about fill them up.
You love to taunt. It’s pretty much all you have here.
But you might watch your online back. What goes around comes around. There’s always a bigger bear.
It’s people like you that make me want to walk away from all this. You love to piss in the punch bowl but come back for a second glass.
I’ve dealt with some real online masters at this and find they stand on feet of clay.
We’re in Oklahoma City today
not sure if I’m going mobile or watching the action from our hotel. Anyhow looking forward to a fun day. Had a nice show from our room two nights ago.
