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
Made it to Costa Maya. Was able to see the constellations Centaurus and Crux last night. Grateful to be able to experience this if something happens to me with epilepsy. Thank you so much @Phil
Thanks for being such great friends @SilverFallsAndrew@TT-SEA @Meatyorologist @iFred @Cold Snap @MossMan @Port Angeles Foothiller @Omegaraptor @Deweydog @snow_wizard @Rubus Leucodermis @TacomaWaWx @ShawniganLake @Dave @Front Ranger @LowerGarfield @Chewbacca Defense @BLI snowman

I’m hoping to save up for a 16 nighter from Seattle to NOLA for my 40th birthday.
Every day is a gift and I’m grateful to be alive because of what insurance companies have done for me.
That was Andrew that said "micro drought"... not me.
I said there was no sign of dryness at the major stations around the Olympics so it must be very localized... which is true.
You specifically said that all stations around the olympics are at normal departures, yet conveniently ignored PA. Gaslighting me by telling me I'm wrong. I live here.
Mocking me of a "micro drought", classy.
