I am in the middle of doing a motorcycle safety training course this weekend. Tomorrow is test day and it is rain or shine. Or in this case, 3 inches of rain and gusts up to 45 mph or shine. Going to be a good opportunity to test how waterproof my gear really is.
Sadly, this was one of the days where they could not allow us onto the range to practice and take an assessment. The morning folks got through it but by the time my group was scheduled to start,...
Sadly, this was one of the days where they could not allow us onto the range to practice and take an assessment. The morning folks got through it but by the time my group was scheduled to start, the parking lot was flooded. Lots of pissed people who drove an hour+ away when the forecast was what it was.

But also, holy climate change, Batman. Would be nice to have normal weather with normal names again.
Yes, they are quite alarmist, aren’t they? Atmospheric river seems to be used by the more sober meteorologists. I guess explosive cyclogenesis isn’t as catchy as “bomb cyclone?” For us it was just...

For us it was just a rainy day. I haven’t found a good article about the amount of damage in other places.

Those were really cool. I had never heard Joe Boomgard-Zagrodnik or Convergence Zone. I stopped reading Cliff Mass years ago after meeting him, so have mostly been relying on Komo weather for weather related information. I have a new blog to go to now. Thank you!

That's badass.
You're badass.
(Take some towels to dry your badass off.)
How'd it go?

It was miserable in the afternoon.
Keep the rubber side down.

and satellite imagery of it

Maybe should be in ~enviro instead?
