The Congrats Dendrite Deck Destroyer 3/23-3/25 obs discussion

I guess we had to call our plow contract in too. Mid shift ended up parking on the side of the road. -
A lot of pros could stand to use that mindset too. Post analysis of events you fumbled are way more useful than anything else you pick up along the way.

Very suck. Much bad here. I’ve got as much as 0.33” radial and shotgun blasts are going off all through the neighborhood. Caught a nice transformer flash while I was out measuring. Really confirms that 0.75” ASOS measured flat ice is the right number around here for an ice storm warning. -

Got the kids down just in time for the power and internet to go out. Genny’s running but can’t watch a damn thing. -

Between snow and sleet I’m at 6.1” today (0.5” pure sleet), and up to 0.2” radial ice now. Power has flickered four times now. -
This is the correct interpretation. 10% of the time snowfall will be greater than the number shown, or conversely a 90% chance that snowfall will be 29" or less. Ideally, 80% of the time your snowfall should fall between the high number and low number.

We're a unique site. Our inflation building was heated, but not to the safety standards you need when generating hydrogen. You probably could see the mushroom cloud from KLEW.

We don't? News to me. We ran out of helium a couple of weeks ago, but we launching again now. Pretty soon we'll be able to turn the hydrogen generator back on too.

Less of a squall now and more of an inverted trof as the coastal starts to take over. Just going to chuck up the advisories.

Seriously though that is one of the big use cases the NWS is excited about anyway. The ability to run large ensembles quickly and frequently.

Some would argue it's always been useless.

No lies detected.

Best thunderstorms of the year right now?
