As long as the supermarkets can stay open, utilities and mail can march on, we can have some semblance of normal life. If there is a supply line disruption, then things are going to get out of hand fast.

Kind of some apocalyptic martial law shit. “Don’t panic, but we are going to pass a law stating we can take your property”

Court systems around the state are going to a “bare bones” mode for the next 30+ days. No jury trials, minimal motions to be heard, etc. The kids are absolutely not going to be back in school until mid April at the earliest. Absolute insanity.

Closet thing I can compare it to in my lifetime was the hours/days after 9/11. Everyone was panicking and not really knowing what was next

South and weaker?? This is unheard of.

Like any panic, we have a major disconnect between the facts and the perception. Facts are, this is a serious disease and we should start taking precautions. They may seem a bit extreme at this point, but we do not have a good handle on what we are dealing with. Err a bit on the side of caution. 99.99% of the public would be much better off by simply WASHING THEIR F'ING HANDS than hoarding toilet paper or any other commodity. These steps are not being taken to protect healthy young people from the disease. They (myself included) will get it, probably think its a cold or allergies, and will move on. However, the precautions are in place so that I don't pass this to my grandmother, or my immuno-compromised brother, or the person who is mid-way through a chemo treatment, of the little child with an underlying congenital disease. I keep hearing "I will be pissed if we cancelled everything and no one even gets sick." This may be the stupidest view I have seen, as THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT. Bottom line, people need to stop panicking. This isn't Ebola or some sort of air transferred AIDS. Instead of buying our local store out of toilet paper, maybe reschedule that birthday party. Maybe postpone that business trip. Stay home from work if you feel ill. Lets be prudent and take some precautions to protect the most vulnerable in our population. It could be your mother, grandmother, sister, or neighbor that may be helped.

Yeah. The panic it is causing is unreal. Good luck finding toilet paper or cleaning supplies for the next month.

Yep, may as well get started copying and pasting @Chicago Storm's old posts... "South and weaker"

You and me both. My kids have both had hospital stays with RSV, so I assume they decided to share.

Color me shocked the models f'd up another "event"

Late night, strong tornado, and a populated area is a recipe for maximized casualties. Especially as a storm of that severity was not expected that far east.

Nice to have and excuse to pop my split screen on radar scope to velocity as opposed to CC with those storms in S IL. Seems like every storm this winter I have had to be on CC finding the progress of the snow line

No apology necessary. The forum is a little edgy and testy with the way this winter has gone.

We will dig out. We will rebuild. We won’t be fooled by the models again this season.

Yep. May as well cement this as the "2020 phantom big dog" so I can bitch and moan about it for years to come.

Don’t forget the “just kidding” super phases in between

That’s just a little data noise. The new GFS is like, totally good. The best.

Surprise phase. Chicago buried with 16”. School cancelled for days. Public angry that they got more than forecasted. Book it. *Takes a strong pull of the weenie koolaide* I mean if we can lose a storm so close like it’s 1990, certainly we can gain one....

I know there were some epic punks in the subforum in the early 2000's, but this one is the biggest "rug pull" that I have seen since I started following intently. At 6am yesterday, I would have assumed 6" was a lock, with good potential to go up from there. Insane to see go from warning to mood dust in 4 model cycles this close to the event.

Why couldn't I just follow my own advice?

It is absurd how each and every storm this season has trended to complete southern garbage within 24 hours all season. You would think the models would handle at least one correctly. Oh well, on to the next.

What a dumpster fire

Remember when having the euro in your camp within 30hrs wasn’t a “will we get snow at all?” but a “are ratios going to hold up? Should I plan on 12:1 or 16:1? Will I verify on the low or high end of my 8-12” forecast?”...

SREF plume mean of 6.2” with a good cluster between 8-12” edit: for DKB

Yep, still a significant and #1 hit on the season
