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
Wow, pretty good gaslighting and hysteria from none other than Mr. Gaslight himself, Jonathan A. Greenblatt.

Following the typical playbook by making all Jewish students fearful of their lives even though only a small fraction of the protestors are preaching violence and hateful comments. Perhaps we should do a study to see who has more to fear: These students or the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. He was moved by a sobbing woman? Try piecing together the body parts of a dismembered Palestinian woman or child killed from an Israeli airstrike. Cry me a river!
My favorite: Donors should divest from institutions to get attention. That's hilarious! Perhaps we should ask him his thoughts on the BDS movement then. Bet he would not have the same opinion.
Don't people like this idiot understand that the curtain has been lifted now? The youth have more news access and media sources than ever before. They have choices now in what and who to believe. Why do you think Israel wants to cut Al Jazeera? Cracking down on legitimate protests only makes the discontent and anger grow. Those 30,000+ dead Palestinians are not going to be forgotten no matter how hard Israel and its apologists try.
