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
Climate experience post.
Speaking from personal experience, the body’s ability to adjust to certain climate is an amazing one.
Having lived in the PNW climate for over 3 decades I wanted to find out how long it would take for my body to adjust to the heat here in SE Asia. I’ve been here since April 23 and the first couple days were absolutely brutal with the heat and humidity. However, after the first week, my body was slowly starting to adjust and now, little more than 2 weeks I’ve been here this heat feels “ normal” — so for me, it didn’t take that long. The biggest thing is to remain hydrated.
Fwiw, the humidity is still shitty, but feeling less sticky and icky. Still need the AC to comfortably sleep at night.
I’ll be here until the end of this month, quite curious to know what it “feels” like by then.
