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
I've never had it. travel for work 30% the time, go to concerts, sporting events, etc haven't done anything preventative in over a year and a half other than staying up to date on the vax and boosters. I don't know how people just act like it doesn't exist and keep on gettin it. I think there is a small subset of the population that do not get it.

Barely got the pavement damp here. FEMA has been contacted and we will rebuild.
I dropped fall fertilizer on the lawn last night thinking we would get more than "damp pavement" so I'm now out watering it in so the doggo can go out in the yard again.
I'm all for spending more federal money to help those border states deal with the situation. Maybe our many billionaires who made all that money off the backs of immigrants can fund it.
