With winter being over, we have folks hugging corona model runs/updates each day to get their fix in. Guess they figured they can’t predict the snow, so may as well try to predict death rates and when it’s ok for folks to go outside.

What if you are wrong? What if you are the one freaking out?

I don’t think the data shared in this thread/news is useless, but I also don’t think it’s been fair sided discussion. The folks that don’t agree with wearing some stupid ass mask seem to be silenced and shamed, but that’s life these days. Nobody can talk it through/listen to others views.

Thanks! Def not trolling. Just coming from a place where you can’t trust much of anything so I’d prefer to take the risks, yet also trying to be sensitive to others that may not feel that same way. At least we should all agree the denominator has always been off...

Yeh that was pretty long winded. No lie, while I was writing it, I was like man I sound like that psu bum that writes essays on forum everyday instead of teaching his students.

This thread may be good example why some of y’all can’t ever predict a snow storm. Too busy consumed on models and what everyone else says to have the balls to form your own opinions. I do appreciate the data you have all shared daily tho and I hope y’all stay healthy during these tough times.

I think at end of day there is no integrity in the data, but yet y’all sit here and freak out all day everyday. It’s clearly become a personal choice if someone wants to buy into the fear or take the risk that perhaps things may not be as portrayed. Just think at this point there’s not much integrity in any data from any country from any study, so nobody should pretend they have it all figured out

This thread is good example of the effects this crap has on people. You got the same folks that come through every morning and get so excited to post new #s and slice and dice data to meet their agenda and cause fear. They are so consumed by the day to day #s that they can no longer step back and look at bigger picture. They get so worked up and pretend like they have it all figured out, while shaming others that don’t buy into the bs. In the end they are just pushing an agenda that they are to too stupid to even realize even doing

Snitches get stitches

It was great couple weeks to see folks pretend to care about each other, but now we are hitting the stupid political/opinion phase where everyone has the answer and if someone doesn’t agree with you then off with their head If you post more than few times a day each day In this thread then you need to ask yourself what are you doing and why. Bringing some knowledge and data is cool but don’t force your dumb shit on people like you have it all figured it out.

I’ve struggled with how to react to all of this, but I think it’s fair to say we all handle it differently. I do fall on side that feels I should be able to make my trips to store and take my own risk, but the guilt and fact can’t trust any of the data right now has me being cautious to not offend or escalate situation I will say this this is a topic that instead of debating with each other we should just listen to each other’s views and truly respect it. So often we try to push our beliefs on folks like we got this all figured it out. It be much better place if we just said here’s where I’m at, but also look to understand each others perspective so we accommodate each other instead of trying to influence

Not sure which has been worse...this crappy winter or Maestro’s post that add no value to this thread

Glad to see ya finally get some love out there. Enjoy!

Yep sleet is coming down pretty hard over here. Flakes still MIA

Enjoy @Bob ChiII you def earned this one

I just did the same for 2nd time tonight. The first time shoveling around 4 wasn’t too bad, but that second round was pretty rough

Yeh this has been a doozy. Im about 10.5” myself around courthouse/hull

Man what a great storm and for it to be during day has been awesome

I hope we do ok here in RIC, but it will feel bittersweet if folks up north don’t cash in as well. Really appreciate the work y’all do and hoping this one shares the love with y’all.
