 What weather station do you have?  This is really cool!


It is  Tempest Weather System (Disclosure after I bought mine, I was impressed with how it worked and actually having a local forcast, I invested with the company). 
 

SHOP.WEATHERFLOW.COM

The Tempest Weather Station provides the most precise, local forecast available. Simple to install and completely wireless - get instant access to weather data.

 

There is a big map of them to check local conditions as well.

@Littleronin - wind gusts at the highest elevations of the Sierra Nevada have been clocked at the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane.

 

WWW.NBCNEWS.COM

With snow falling two to four inches an hour, travel is life-threatening and impossible, and portions of the highly-traveled I-80 will likely close for days. 

 

 


That does not surprise with the way it has been here. I think I heard someone mention that breaking the record (199MPH) that has been seen in the high elevations is not out of the question. 

I was talking to a deputy friend and  we agreed that this is the worst we have had it with wind (how strong as well as duration) that we have had it in about 10ish years. Normally we get in the 70-80mph range around the lake for a couple of hours with mid 40s in town during that time. This will end up being almost a 3 day event for us. He mentioned how he was tired of ticketing semis and people with travel trailers for not taking note of the travel restrictions posted on the digital signage. 

I just woke up from a nap to see that they just cleared a RV that rolled over near the lake. Stupid people.

If you just read a bunch of stuff about climate tech, it seems like there really is a lot of good progress being made a lot of fronts and you can kind of trick yourself into being a little optimistic for a while. But then you read stuff like this, and there's just so, so, so much damage already completely baked in, even if there was the political will and ability to roll about a bunch of fancy new tech on a worldwide scale as fast as possible.
