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
Seems like this May could end up a bit wetter than the last couple out here in the Charleston CWA. Living up to its reputation for a top rainfall month on average. In 2022, July/Aug and February were my wet ones, and I remember Jan 2023 having more than 5" of rainfall. Many of last year's months ended below average on precip.
The warmest parts of the year are coming up. Looking like no more sub-50 degree lows happen until September. During the next period of warmth I even see an upper 60's low Tue night before more storms roll in.
61 right now and thick fog.
tomorrow are you going to post an MSN article about how Biden is causing prices to go up and that it is all his fault?
I'm sounding like a broken record with you, but....what point are you trying to make here? That China = bad?
Unfortunately, free market economics is more complicated than that.
Biden’s China Tariffs Are the End of an Era for Cheap Chinese Goods https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/18/business/bidens-china-tariffs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.s00.Vjxu.5MigwCJvi4N5
I am conflicted about this.
Long term, I'm not sure it's going to matter. We are delaying the inevitable where there are simply are not going to be enough jobs for everyone due to automation and AI, manufacturing or otherwise.
So do we risk a difficult and pricey transition into bringing manufacturing back to the US when intelligent robots are eventually going to take those jobs anyway?
I think without question the tariffs on ev cars is a given. But I don't know about the rest.
What's also interesting is that this is one of the very few intersections between trump and Biden economics.
