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
Pi-Day event had its interesting parts. Before the main bout of supercells in IN/OH, there was one lonely supercell that travelled from near Cincinatti all the way to my vicinity a few hours prior, with nothing else picking up on JKL radar around that time.
Then all the later night storms developed into an MCS hitting me around 2am.
Overall the Feb 28 and April 2 events gave me much more of a uh-oh feeling in the gut. Pi-Day had a ton of large hailers, and a few storms that happened to hold together a stronger tornado. Not to say 3/14 wasn't a good one though, Ohio was a surprise during that one as they weren't exactly bullzeyed at first.
Oh, I think one side is just a bit more guilty of that than the other. Trump has taken the racist nationalist playbook and made it his platform. He is the GOP nominee and has a real chance at being the next president.
No sane person can make that claim about the left and Biden (even if he is Netanyahu's little biatch).
And I loathe what a lot of the left has become.
Wow indeed. I cannot believe this was allowed to happen for so long.
I love how the right tars and feathers the left for being anti-capitalism but then sees nothing wrong with corporate America doing some of the most anti-capitalist actions imaginable. Gotta love it.
Lina Khan is a badass, no matter how ugly Andrew finds her. Perhaps he is intimidated by strong, intelligent women?
