The NNE warm season is snowier than the cold season.

The Space Shuttle was such a mistake. We should have continued down the line of Apollo and kept refining it. We would definitely have been to Mars by now.

We get groceries from the Walmart in Gorham, NH because where else are we supposed to go? My wife pulls into a spot and they load up the car. We go in sometimes too, though. It’s a very nice Walmart as such things go. Probably best parking lot view of any Walmart in the country.

Nice snow on the cam. 25 degrees.

Ok. Good to know.

Again, people are divided on it being forced on people, not the act itself.

Everyone I want to talk to agrees with me on masks. I am good with a solid separation. Assume I am infected and could kill your grandma. I am actually excited about it. I enjoy having my personal space.

With all due respect, we haven’t seen any stories of people or cops getting in the face of masked people and demanding they take off the mask. Plenty of stories from the other direction, however. There won’t be issues as long as the mask gang stays at least 6 feet away, preferably more, TBH.

He just said people will be divided. Hard to disagree since we are incredibly divided already. Just keep your distance and all will be well.

No one would complain about masks if they were optional. Do you seriously not get the real issue here?

There won’t be any issues as long as the mask folks maintain proper social distancing or greater, I think. I really don’t expect issues. There could be issues if the Karens decide to close to less than 6-1000 feet to tell us to put on masks.

He’s not questioning your right to wear a mask. We are good with you wearing 2 masks and staying 6-1000 feet away at all times. Seriously, it’s not an issue for us.

I hope they are scared of me and stay far away. I’m good with that.

I have no issue with people who still wear masks after the mandates end socially-distancing from me. That is a win-win, IMO. You can stay as far away as you'd like, actually.

23 degrees with blowing snow.

23 degrees with snow and blowing snow. Crazy. Mid-winter stuff.

The "why not" argument is especially gross when applied to young kids.

Yeah, hard to say for sure. My other cam that has a nice view of a deck railing that always gives me a good idea of depth must be totally encased in wet snow because I can't see anything out of it.

My neighbor recorded 3.8" so far in this event.

Down to 26. Looks like a couple inches on the cam.

I had lunch with a friend today whose wife is a pediatrician in a fairly dense metro area. He said her hours had been cut and she can only work 3 days a week now. I couldn't believe that. Doctors are always in demand. He explained that many pediatricians have had hours cut because sports injuries are not occurring, parents are skipping yearly physicals due to fear of COVID, no school referrals, and lack of people coming in for flu. So she was basically furloughed. Nuts. He said many surgeons who handle elective surgeries are having their hours slashed too. Anyway, just a datapoint on the second/third order effects of lockdowns and restrictions. I found it really hard to believe.

Seems like something a longer trial would have sussed out... just saying.

Do people get this sick from the flu shot? I have never heard of anything but a little arm soreness with that one.

Your mentality is kinda weird, TBH. Government shouldn't be your mommy.

Brazil is using the Chinese vaccine, right? I have been seeing some folks raising questions about how effective that vaccine actually is as well. May be affecting the numbers.
