We have a local weather nerd website focused on the Hudson Valley. As the pilots here likely know, the Hudson Valley has its own weather to some degree that is difficult to predict for a lot of reasons, not least of which is a large river running between two mountain ranges within shooting distance of an ocean. And that's on a regular day. Today the guys at Hudson Valley Weather have switched to what they like to call "now-casting" - which basically means the various intersecting fronts and atmospheric layers have reach a point where many things are possible. It's like infinity x100 man.

Anyway, today seems particularly special. This was weather radar from about 10AM.

Here's what the local weather guys posted.

It is better than television. I'm just hoping we don't lose more trees. The snow out there now is heavy as oatmeal.

My wife and I have been trying to select a paint color for our living room and hallway and without the sun to help, it’s been quite tough to differentiate between the samples.

The 2 tons of salt they spread on 1 city block here is washing its way to the ocean...

And meanwhile in SE Australia, what was predicted to be a blazing hot summer has instead seen downpours and the usual hot weather is absent. Further north in Qld, they have had cyclones and floods, albeit it is the wet season up there.
