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.

Sometimes you just have to kick the door open and start taking names. Maybe it’s a cultural thing down here but business folk tend to just get it done.
Aggressive, out of the box thinking thrives here.
Maybe it’s cultural. Not sure. The recent influx of other state residents is mixed in results.
Some refuse to change and want their old ways here. Not a good plan. Culturally we are out of the box thinkers and well, - native born of my generation are downright unbending to their insistence.
They’ll catch on.
This isn’t California.
A cousin in Houston said they got their bell rung in yesterday’s storm. Flooding was seen all over the City.
We were hit with heavy storms but the storm just built power as it moved toward the coast. Lots of flooding. Should be drier there today.
Quite a system.
