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.

The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 56/28. That low of 28 will be the coldest low for this April, the warmest low for any April since 2010 and the 4 warmest all time low. (note there have been many years with a low of 29 and 28) There was no rainfall yesterday and the sun was out 93% of the time. For today the average H/L is 62/41 the record high of 88 was set in 1915 and the record low of 24 was set in 2007. The most rain fall of 1.48” was in 1995, Last year the H/L was 53/31.
The overnight low here in MBY was 35 and the current temperature is 36 with clear skies. There isn’t any frost here in my yard at this time.
You need to hang with a better crowd of geezers! Those I know are clear eyed and don’t buy the garbage from the shills.
They assess quickly and know how they’ll vote and get on with their day.
Retirement life isn’t all the ease it’s cracked up to be.
