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
Also, I wasn't implying your kids are freeloading. I know they are not. One of them works at Boeing I understand, probably makes more than me.

In many ways technological advancement has made our lives much more stressful and unsatisfying.
Yeah, I don't care if my kids live with me after high school as long as they are in school or working. They'll have to contribute though. I'll probably still be up here or in an even more rural/isolated area by then, so they might not want to hang around too long. Once they are out of high school, they are on their own financially though.
But, I see my wife and her parents haven't fully cut the cord and she's 35. Her car was in their name as recently as a couple years ago. I brought it up and they transferred the title to me... lol
Do you like cold/wet maps?? I didn't know that. You only talk about it being cold and wet forever.
12Z EPS was noticeably cooler than its 00Z run. I usually post the entire loop of the EPS. I just posted the white hot ECMWF map this morning to needle Andrew.
