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
Ended up with a 75/45 day here yesterday. Sunny and warm with high clouds and times and a cooling breeze in the evening.
Looking at the 500mb pattern I wouldn’t have called it a setup where PDX would make a run at 80 but there it was. Looks like VUO put up a 76/41 day.
But what I really came here to mention is you can feel a change in the air outside this morning. It is a cloudy and mild morning, but the positive vibes of nature are quite apparent. Beneficial and life giving rains are on the way and nature is rejoicing.
I can't imagine being north of 40 and still eating fast food regularly. Unless you have the most amazing metabolism or have time to workout 6 hours a day it seems like the perfect pipeline to obesity. Whenever I make the mistake of grabbing a McChicken or something because I'm in the hurry I always feel like garbage for the next few hours. Like eating poison.
