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 'special sauce' is the post-processing, normalization and weighting that they d
People just don't understand Trump's humor. I am 99.9% sure he knew that was hyperbolic when he said it. His way of saying he's going to do such a great job he will fix a lot of stuff.
No A/C at the Coast Hotel in Downtown Seattle and no rooms to switch after a week in BC. I think it was the end of the Toronto series so hotels were pretty full. It was bad.

On the bright side Starlight from SF Area to Seattle, Cascades to Vancouver, and time on the island was nice.
Oddly enough my future wife was in CA about to be broken up with by her ex.
Back to that day. My favorite picture was one with a dog by the fountain and that morning's paper said "hottest day ever?" Of course it has now been broken.
