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
Oh my God such a classic!! My dad and I would watch it every so often. And that odometer roll back scene was kind of real life for me! I traded in my 1999 Tahoe back in 2010 to a local GMC dealership. It had nearly 180,000 miles on it, I see it at a little crappy used car dealer in Marysville a few weeks later (I’m sure it was auctioned) on their lot and it had the big numbers on the windshield that said SALE $15,000 dollars! I laughed at that as it was not worth anywhere close to that! It was definitely my Tahoe as it had unique exterior aftermarket accessories (and missing passenger side vent visor) and exhaust system. Anyway I stop and look at it, the dealer was closed at the time and something told me to peer inside at the dash…My 170k+ mile Tahoe suddenly had 107k on it! (Those still had the analog roller type odometer)
Long story short is that I sent an email to DOL and suddenly a few weeks later that shady dealer was no more lol.
It shows me in red, as it has since June 2022. Pretty much in line with my rain gauge readings about 50-60% of normal.
Sequim is a desert and has a really low annual rainfall. They had two decent storms this spring that missed my area. All they need is a few storms to hit normal as normal is only a few inches by this time of year.
