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
Oregon came out really flat yesterday. Stanford also has two field goal drives which ate up a bunch of time early. It was 6-0 Stamford in the 2nd quarter and then Oregon snapped into focus and blew them out easily. I kind of liked that they had to face a little adversity.
Huskies didn't look that good last night against an unranked team. Arizona put pressure on Penix and disrupted the offensive rhythm.
Cal put up like 3 touchdowns in garbage time against all back-ups. But the Arizona score was real and the defense looked porous. After last night... I am thinking Oregon has the advantage.
This next wet period looks like a real good one. And it’s only early October. The weather gods are paying us back for that obnoxious summer. And a double win if we can bag another sunny and warm weekend before it hits.
I got a decent amount of gardening done this weekend, cleared out most of the raised beds, planted garlic, cleaned up my strawberries. Didn’t get around to tearing out the tomatoes. Planted some new peony tubers that I’m excited about. Weeds are coming in fast and furious so gotta keep on top of that. And I didn’t get to my bees either which I can do on one of these 70+ degree afternoons.
