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.

The 'special sauce' is the post-processing, normalization and weighting that they d
Woke up to barely any rain falling and strong shadowing on radar and I thought my worst fears had come true. Thankfully I just woke up during a lull. It's been pretty whet all day with around a third of an inch so far.
More filling in from the west. This stuff could be good.

@snow_wizard and others who like to get sooooooooo worked up about the cancel culture need to watch this from last night. Jon Stewart has no problem skewering the left and Biden either. Last week he roasted the left wing media for spending so much time sensationalizing a nothing-burger Trump trial.
He absolutely nailed it here and you have to admit he is 100% right about the cancel culture on the right and the idea that the right works very hard at creating an enemy for the sole purpose of creating an enemy. Watch the entire thing and let me know your thoughts.
