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
Yeah, I think there are good reasons for us all to hope Trump doesn't win this procedural ruling. I don't support his prosecution, but at the same time blanket immunity isn't a good idea.
28 here also, but with a lot of frost. Had many hours of calm winds here. Looking at obs from Grand Rapids, it looks like winds stayed up a little. That could've made the difference.
Spent about 8 hours with temps at/below 32 here. Not a problem though because I've learned from getting burned in the past to just prepare accordingly (outdoor plants) in case it gets colder than expected. It was sort of an ideal scenario to end up on the colder side of expectations because yesterday was very chilly with the wind off the lake -- high only made it to the low 40s -- which gave us a head start on nocturnal cooling, and then the wind slackened and eventually went calm.
