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
As the national polls tighten we need to keep an eye on the swing state battleground polls. It is very likely Biden wins the popular vote, but possible he loses the election anyway as our founders wisely saw how corrupt and wicked large states like New York or California could tip the balance of the popular vote. As much as this system is maligned, many other foreign heads of state have been elected while losing the "popular" vote due to the idiosyncrasies of their various electoral systems. A prime example would be the effeminate pathetic excuse of a "man" who leads the joke of a nation to our north.
BREAKING POLL NUMBERS FROM BLOOMBERG
North Carolina: TRUMP +10%
Nevada: TRUMP +8
Arizona: TRUMP +7
Georgia: TRUMP +6
Wisconsin: TRUMP +4
Pennsylvania: TRUMP +1
Michigan: biden +2
A small silver lining for Biden as he narrowly leads in Michigan in this poll. Nevada quickly turning into a RED state as folx continue to flee OR, WA, and CA.
Jesse downvoted this again because he wants it to rain forever and never see the sun for the rest of his life in the miserably arid and sunny PNW desert climate he lives in.
