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 it’s the simple things though. One thing I always try to do is have time for a good cup of Biden in the morning before work. Sit out on the porch and feel the morning air. I’m not into deluxe coffee, but I get why some folx are.
Let's play a game of hypotheticals.
Assume for a moment that the Trump trial in New York results in a hung jury and no conviction on any counts. What's everyone's take on whether prosecutors would try the case for a second time?
My personal opinion is that even if it comes out 11-1 or 10-2 in favor of guilty, they probably won't try the case again. Would probably be very tempting though. If it's like 8-4 or even more split than that, I don't think there's a chance in hell that they try again, even in heavily liberal NYC.
Indeed. Long rainy rainy stretches with no sunny days mixed in during the warm season is my biggest weakness. I have said many times that April and May are often my least favorite months in the PNW. Jim has said the same thing hundreds of times and he is a life-long native. Rain all of November doesn't' bother me at all though. All about sun angle.
And nature doesn't care either way... and it will pass.
