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
Back in the late 70s while I was in high school and I couple of years after that I worked for a dealer's only auto auction and then for an independent wholesaler.

I was able to drive just about anything you could imagine from classic bugs, muscle cars, even a couple of Rolls.
It's interesting how trauma from the Holocaust manifests itself.
Some would say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Wouldn't you agree, my hate-filled genocidal troll?
It’s wayyyyy more common than a lot of people think. And most people won’t pick up on the wear and tear items like the pedals and such that are inconsistent with the mileage. We did a few theft by deception cases back in the day (when our climate was noticeably cooler) and you end up exposed to what was a massive subculture, particularly when it comes to the Gypsies. The early digital odometers were actually the easiest to tamper with apparently.
Also… IT SNOWED A WEEK BEFORE THAT PHOTO WAS TAKEN!
