We don’t have thousands of Karens on Twitter demanding that the police arrest and fine people for eating runny eggs.

Damn. Not a branch out of place up here.

The Branch Covidians will never let this go now. For some people, they have finally found a purpose and direction in life. It's now acceptable to stay at home, shun people, and collect money from the government. That's now a completely acceptable and even virtuous way to live.

Studies say it doesn't spread in... stores restaurants homes with other COVID-positive people schools airplanes hospitals social justice rallies Where does it spread?

I get it, but "severe outcomes" are only a challenge for a tiny, tiny fraction of the population in the first place... The vast majority of people don't even need the vaccine.

Many, many people have been horribly damaged by the last 12 months. Just look how our society is behaving right now. The world of 2015 seems like decades ago.

Your shot isn't even all that effective against variants that are already spreading in the US. We all need to get off the treadmill here soon. The gov't will never let us off themselves.

TX, MS, and FL will be wide open with metrics no worse than the lockdown states. When will the position of the lockdown governors become so untenable they have to throw in the towel? It seems silly at this point for people to still be predicting mass death and destruction in FL and TX. We are way past "boy who cried wolf" territory here... this is just denial and willful ignorance now. Humans (and especially their governments) are so bad at admitting they made a mistake and not doubling down when shown evidence they were wrong.

More people are starting to wake up to what is really going on here. That's what is needed if we are ever to get off this endless staircase. The metrics for "return to normal" of extremely low case counts and 100% worldwide vaccination that have been thrown out there are literally impossible to achieve... more people are doing the math and realizing this.

People have been predicting massive spikes in deaths in TX and FL for a year now and they have yet to materialize. It might be time to just start moving on here. There is no reason to look at decisions made a year ago about masks and lockdowns and second-guess them. People made the best calls they could based on early info. But we need to look at the reality on the ground now and get on with things. The schools especially.

People are still talking about these "waves"? It's over dude.

This is how we do it It's Tuesday night, and I feel alright The snow is here on the West spine So I reach for my shovel and I tune it up Designated driver, take the keys to my plow Hit the ice cause I'm slippin' Homies in the street say, "J. Spin, yo, the upslope made it!" It feels so good in my hood tonight The wintertime jackets and the guys in Carhartt All the Vermonters forgot about the Grinch storm You gotta get your Froude on, before you go get pow So tip up your skis and throw your hands up And let me hear the party say

In this weather pattern, you need to search a little deeper to find a good model output.

Yeah, decent upslope signature on a potent NW flow. I could see another one of my famous 1.5" of fluff tomorrow. Those are dime a dozen around here. J. Spin will be racking up 3-4 inches of fluff down at his spot.

Yeah, but beggars can't be choosers.

4 degrees, winds 20, gusts to 40. -17 windchill

Whiteout conditions.

Heavy snow, 12 degrees. This is more like it.

Winds aren’t bad here, but then again they never are too bad in this location.

Getting some nice snow.

I have an asphalt driveway and it still looks like that.

29 heavy snow.

Temp down to 33 now and breezes kicking up.

Light snow/white rain. 35 degrees.

Yes, it appears we will stay reasonably cold with bouts of upslope over the next 7-10 days. Should get skiing back on track after today and tonight makes things a bit rough.
