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.

On the contrary my friend... I am pointing out excessively blessed you all have been down there!

You disgust me. You come on here early in the morning on this glorious Sunday morning to immediately start arguments. This is the Lord’s day. If you are waking up early, use your time and effort to show your love and dedication to our one true Lord. Do not sow discontent in our flock.
The North Bend station in town is at 24.40 inches for the year compared to the long term average of 25.17 inches to this point in the year. Not sure how we will manage without that extra .75 in the bucket. Tragic.
But good news is that we might make that up today and tomorrow so the problem might be solved in 36 hours!
PDX is now 4 inches above normal for 2024.
SLE is 5 inches above normal for the year.
Pretty impressive for just over 4 months into the year.
But assume talk of catastrophic drought will continue from our friends down there. Even though those stations could now go until September without rain and still be wetter than normal for the year.
