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 would I.
Sure, Stein was a factor. The DNC reaction is to throw a tantrum about how unfair it was that she was. Ditto for the Electoral College.
Well, news flash: the world is not always fair. The DNC’s job is to win elections. Not some hypothetical perfect elections they might wish existed, but the messy, real-world, flawed elections that actually do exist. The ones where third parties act as spoilers. The ones with an Electoral College that makes it possible for a candidate to lose the popular vote yet still win the White House. The ones where depressingly many voters are low-information voters.
They are very good at lecturing their critics from a condescending position of faux superiority. If only they were as smart and as skilled as they seem to think they are. Their track record isn’t actually stellar. The whole Hillary ’16 fiasco is a prime exemplar of this.
