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
Not many that are in politics. Trump will likely appoint some swamp people to various positions because there's not much good to choose from. But he needs to make sure he chooses the right VP that supports his America first policies! That's why it's good he's waiting to reveal his choice because Noem's mistakes would've hurt him bigly! Plus people would have more time to go after his choice.
As for the Noem dog stuff, that is probably one of the most boneheaded political decisions I have ever seen. What in the hell was she thinking? The story might play a little bit in SD but she should have realized 95% of the country do not view pets the same way that farmers/ranchers do. And even if they did, why even take the risk? She must have been told by Lord Trump that she wasn't going to be his VP pick and she thought to herself "oh, this will surely help my chances" and threw a hail mary. Now she can kiss any national political ambitions goodbye, at least for a while. What an idiot.
Hate to break it to ya bud, but Trump was endorsed by close to 200 of the people you just called "the swamp" while Haley had the endorsement of... wait, let me check... three members of the entire Congress. You tell me who is more a part of the swamp in that scenario.
Not to mention, I thought Trump was going to drain the swamp? What happened to that? He didn't drain shit. Instead, he became a part of the swamp because SURPRISE! the swamp means you get power and influence, something Trump absolutely loves. But please, go ahead and try and bend over backwards to explain to me how 'this time will be different'.
