Quite simply put the amount of snow does not define a good winter.

Basically what I am saying is if a nationwide panic starts who knows what happens. The potential for total societal anarchy is always under the surface. Do not let this virus define who you are. Maintain your calm, take reasonable proactive measures to assure your safety. But don't be the person who panics in the crowd and sets off a chain reaction.

N95 masks need to be fitted by someone who knows how they are supposed to fit. I see these people on TV with N95 masks on with obvious gaps.

Wrong about what? I agree with the good Doctor. Fear mongering and panic accomplish nothing. Good hygiene and being calm is what I say. Its coming, keep your cool. Not looking to find an agenda

Please be careful in stoking uncertainty and unnecessary fears. From Doctor Abdu Sharkaway I'm a doctor and an Infectious Diseases Specialist. I've been at this for more than 20 years seeing sick patients on a daily basis. I have worked in inner city hospitals and in the poorest slums of Africa. HIV-AIDS, Hepatitis,TB, SARS, Measles, Shingles, Whooping cough, Diphtheria...there is little I haven't been exposed to in my profession. And with notable exception of SARS, very little has left me feeling vulnerable, overwhelmed or downright scared. I am not scared of Covid-19. I am concerned about the implications of a novel infectious agent that has spread the world over and continues to find new footholds in different soil. I am rightly concerned for the welfare of those who are elderly, in frail health or disenfranchised who stand to suffer mostly, and disproportionately, at the hands of this new scourge. But I am not scared of Covid-19. What I am scared about is the loss of reason and wave of fear that has induced the masses of society into a spellbinding spiral of panic, stockpiling obscene quantities of anything that could fill a bomb shelter adequately in a post-apocalyptic world. I am scared of the N95 masks that are stolen from hospitals and urgent care clinics where they are actually needed for front line healthcare providers and instead are being donned in airports, malls, and coffee lounges, perpetuating even more fear and suspicion of others. I am scared that our hospitals will be overwhelmed with anyone who thinks they " probably don't have it but may as well get checked out no matter what because you just never know..." and those with heart failure, emphysema, pneumonia and strokes will pay the price for overfilled ER waiting rooms with only so many doctors and nurses to assess. I am scared that travel restrictions will become so far reaching that weddings will be canceled, graduations missed and family reunions will not materialize. And well, even that big party called the Olympic Games...that could be kyboshed too. Can you even imagine? I'm scared those same epidemic fears will limit trade, harm partnerships in multiple sectors, business and otherwise and ultimately culminate in a global recession. But mostly, I'm scared about what message we are telling our kids when faced with a threat. Instead of reason, rationality, openmindedness and altruism, we are telling them to panic, be fearful, suspicious, reactionary and self-interested. Covid-19 is nowhere near over. It will be coming to a city, a hospital, a friend, even a family member near you at some point. Expect it. Stop waiting to be surprised further. The fact is the virus itself will not likely do much harm when it arrives. But our own behaviors and "fight for yourself above all else" attitude could prove disastrous. I implore you all. Temper fear with reason, panic with patience and uncertainty with education. We have an opportunity to learn a great deal about health hygiene and limiting the spread of innumerable transmissible diseases in our society. Let's meet this challenge together in the best spirit of compassion for others, patience, and above all, an unfailing effort to seek truth, facts and knowledge as opposed to conjecture, speculation and catastrophizing. Facts not fear. Clean hands. Open hearts. Our children will thank us for it.

Christ that's the bummer post of the year

Shot hour

Yes totally ready for consistent 60s and 70s but alas wants aren't reality

He cant let it go lol. Until it's gone then he will post whoosh

So what's April look like? Early modeling has ridge over south central states with toughing here. Hopefully not

Wow the coast is way ahead. Haven't even had a crocus pop up here.

I added all the cases your pic only has cases over 100

Take China out,then add all the cases get % of deaths

Box has 1.2 in Norton,wheres Grandpa Bob

I worded that badly, death rate outside of China

Death rate out of China is .5% if like H1N1 61 million Americans get it that's 305k dead

89 90

Hard to believe 5 years ago today at work they reached maximum depth. The bottom of those tables are 36 inches. There are 100 chairs under the snow. Work was 7 miles from LI sound. There are some buds on trees down there today.

Wow even Blue Hill had 90 while HFD had 53

Well maybe 62 65 not 75 80

Looks torchy to me

Plus it won't get dark until 715. I can hear the sounds of ball meeting bats and gloves already. 60 plus

Field test obviously. Impaired driving is impaired whether alcohol weed or prescription drugs or illegal drugs.
