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.

Such is life!
But not sure how you define gilded. We drive old cars and have never bought new in our lives... our vacations consistent of a Costco run at the start and joining my wife on paid business trips when she q presenter... our date nights are usually at the sushi place in the strip mall by Safeway... we do all our own yardwork and gardening... and we are currently paying large sums of money to support aging parents.
What we did was roll all our equity into a piece of land and built this house as cheap as possible over two decades ago and have slowly made improvements as money became available. It was a good investment. My dad was a teacher and my wife's dad was a plumber. We don't come from money and don't live like we have money.
But I apologize for my life long fascination with weather. Its really just me trying to control nature with my immense wealth.
An absolute stain on whatever legacy Biden might have:
