my God, this forum has devolved into the worst of the worst. It's always emotional and reactionary in here, but it seems that the rational and seasoned members have pulled back to make way for the kids.
I'm going to step back for the day too. It's just too much uninformed nonsense.
I am excited for a lot of you guys, because it seems like this is your first time tracking a PNW winter storm. I remember my first time.
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 83/52 there was a reported 0.18” of rainfall, the sun was out 35% of the time. The highest wind gust was 32 MPH out of the W. For today the average H/L is 72/50 the record high of 91 was set in 1977 the record low of 31 was set in 1969 the most rainfall of 2.46” fell in 2004. Last year the H/L was 76/42.
While the official rainfall amount for GR yesterday was 0.18” here in MBY I recorded 0.57” is two rounds of thunderstorms one in the morning and one in the afternoon. While there were severe storm warnings for the afternoon storms the morning storm had the most rainfall here. The overnight low and current temperature here is 59 with cloudy skies currently. Note there was no severe weather with either storm here NW of Grand Rapids.
It's a get hammered or get nothing kinda day here. Models show supercells forming near my area between 2-5pm today and lifting NE. 3km NAM seems to line up well with the SPCs thinking.
Halfway around the world, the Giro D Italia is forcing riders to ride at 8000 feet, while dumping snow at 6000 feet. Cars with snow tires can't drive the course let alone a bike.
Riders are rightfully striking.
