2 lmao But chicken is a daily occurrence, lol It's about 35 meals or so... I'm thinking more for 2 months then 2 weeks..

Icon with some snow.. Just miss the heaviest stuff to the east.

I was reading a few articles yesterday on how some people with the virus refuse to stay indoors...This is obviously an issue as anyone who doesn't care can go to a grocery store and touch all the items, which is why I'm done going for quite a while..

China had no new reports yesterday for the first time since the outbreak began...But they have also gone through more drastic measures then us, makes me think it will take longer to clear north America..

This is the town I moved up here from, freehold NJ..In-laws still live there.. Sad news Coronavirus Ravages 7 Members of a Single Family, Killing 3 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/nyregion/new-jersey-family-coronavirus.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

Buffalo at least mentioned the S word lol Sunday, strong high pressure will build slowly east across Quebec, maintaining dry weather and sunshine. Temperatures will remain a little below average in the associated cool airmass. The next trough will then advance across the Ohio Valley and eastern Great Lakes Monday, eventually supporting secondary cyclogenesis off the east coast. The trough will bring an increasing chance of precipitation very late Sunday night through Monday. Temperatures aloft and at the surface may allow for some of this to fall as wet snow initially before temperatures begin to warm later Monday afternoon. This system will move out Monday night, followed by weak high pressure and dry weather for Tuesday.

I feel like I have been watching this time period for like a month lol Every model at one time or the another has shown a snowstorm, now we're getting within Day4-5.. Obviously can't get fringed this time of year or it won't accumulate..

Ukmet on board with a little white stuff..

Euro control

Euro was close

It will remain quite unsettled across our forecast area on Friday... as the still intensifying sfc will track into northern Quebec. Its corresponding cold front will plow across our region...with conditionally unstable air and very strong synoptic forcing favoring showers and gusty thunderstorms. There will be two rounds of storms possible...initially with a prefrontal trough early in the day and again during the midday-early afternoon with the actual fropa. Given winds of 50-60 knots just off the deck...any convection will carry the risk of transporting these winds to the sfc. As earlier mentioned...SPC has placed most of New York state in a marginal risk for severe weather. Greater confidence is felt with the potential for strong to damaging synoptic wind gusts. The aforementioned 55 to 60 knot low level jet will persist in the cold advection in the wake of the front...and given strong mixing as supported by deep subsidence and at least partial clearing...the majority of these winds could mix to the sfc. The area most likely to receive the strong to potentially damaging winds would include the typical high wind corridor from Lake Erie and the IAG Frontier to Rochester. Usually...a significant trop fold is experienced during high wind events...but in this case most guidance packages do not suggest such. Nevertheless...a high wind watch for gusts to 60 mph has been issued in this corridor to cover this threat. Elsewhere...wind gusts will likely exceed 40 mph. Otherwise...temperatures that will start the day in the 60s will climb to near 70 across parts of the Genesee valley and Finger Lakes region before the strong cold front charges across the region early in the afternoon. Temperatures will then tumble into the 30s and 40s by sunset.

I read somewhere yesterday possibly12-18 months for a vaccine..

The highly contagious novel coronavirus that has exploded into a global pandemic can remain viable and infectious in droplets in the air for hours and on surfaces up to days, according to a new study that should offer guidance to help people avoid contracting the respiratory illness called COVID-19. Scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, attempted to mimic the virus deposited from an infected person onto everyday surfaces in a household or hospital setting, such as through coughing or touching objects. They used a device to dispense an aerosol that duplicated the microscopic droplets created in a cough or a sneeze. The scientists then investigated how long the virus remained infectious on these surfaces, according to the study that appeared online in the New England Journal of Medicine on Tuesday - a day in which U.S. COVID-19 cases surged past 5,200 and deaths approached 100 The tests show that when the virus is carried by the droplets released when someone coughs or sneezes, it remains viable, or able to still infect people, in aerosols for at least three hours. On plastic and stainless steel, viable virus could be detected after three days. On cardboard, the virus was not viable after 24 hours. On copper, it took 4 hours for the virus to become inactivated. In terms of half-life, the research team found that it takes about 66 minutes for half the virus particles to lose function if they are in an aerosol droplet. That means that after another hour and six minutes, three quarters of the virus particles will be essentially inactivated but 25% will still be viable. The amount of viable virus at the end of the third hour will be down to 12.5%, according to the research led by Neeltje van Doremalen of the NIAID’s Montana facility at Rocky Mountain Laboratories. On stainless steel, it takes 5 hours 38 minutes for half of the virus particles to become inactive. On plastic, the half-life is 6 hours 49 minutes, researchers found. On cardboard, the half-life was about three and a half hours, but the researchers said there was a lot of variability in those results "so we advise caution" interpreting that number. The shortest survival time was on copper, where half the virus became inactivated within 46 minutes.

Stood outside speras for almost 2 hrs until they opened.. Line was to the street, it was like black Friday. Bought like 40-50 pounds of meat lol Would of bought more but didn't wanna get jumped lol

Waiting for some results in Oswego county.. OSWEGO COUNTY, NY — Four people are being monitored after possible exposure to the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, in Oswego County, according to the Oswego County Health Department. The individuals are in voluntary, precautionary isolation and are being monitored by the health department's nursing staff. There are still no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Oswego County as of Monday evening.

Cali and Florida right now 3rd and 6th in confirmed cases, while these are populated states they are also warmer.. Louisiana another warmer state is 7th..

No surprise this was in my recommendations on YouTube lol

The COVID-19 outbreak in New York state has spread to about 1,700 people, hospitalizing 19% of them and killing at least 12, state officials announced Tuesday, adding that the number of cases will continue to rise as the state receives more test results. The state is scrambling to expand its hospital capacity to handle an influx of cases before infections peak here, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a press conference in Albany. New York currently has 53,000 hospital beds and 3,000 ICU beds, far short of what state health officials are predicting will be needed, he said. They estimate the state will need between 18,600 to 37,200 ICU beds and at least 55,000 hospital beds at the peak of the outbreak across the state, which he predicted will take about 45 days. "That, my friends, is the problem that we've been talking about since the beginning of this exercise," Cuomo said. The fast-moving virus has spread to more than 183,000 people across the globe, killing more than 7,100, since emerging from Wuhan, China less than three months ago. The number of cases changes by the minute. State officials are revising their data throughout the day, Cuomo's spokesman William Burns said. At the beginning of the press conference, Cuomo said the state had more than 1,300 cases with a hospitalization rate of 19%. New York state Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker updated the numbers about 30 minutes into the briefing, telling Cuomo there were now around 1,700 cases across the state. Cuomo's data, according to Burns, was current as of 6 a.m. and Zucker's updated numbers will be revised later Tuesday. Cuomo joined the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut on Monday in jointly announcing several measures to reduce density throughout the region, citing "a lack of federal direction and nationwide standards." The states are closing movie theaters and limiting public gatherings to fewer than 50 people. "Our primary goal right now is to slow the spread of this virus so that the wave of new infections doesn't crash our health-care system, and everyone agrees social distancing is the best way to do that," Cuomo said. "This is not a war that can be won alone, which is why New York is partnering with our neighboring states to implement a uniform standard that not only keeps our people safe but also prevents 'state shopping' where residents of one state travel to another and vice versa." Cuomo warned Monday that the outbreak would stretch U.S. hospitals to their maximum capacity, saying the nation doesn't have enough hospital beds to handle a pandemic. "When we're going to have a real problem is when cases hit their apex and descend on the health-care system and we will not have enough hospital beds," Cuomo said. Cuomo said he sent a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to deploy the Army Corps of Engineers to the state to "start building temporary health-care capacity." He also criticized the federal government's response to the pandemic, saying it has "been behind from day one on this crisis." "States, frankly, don't have the capacity or the power to make up for the federal government," Cuomo said. He called on U.S. officials to coordinate closings across the country, saying state and local leaders have adopted a "hodgepodge" of different actions

Tough day to be a Texans fan, one of the worst trades I can remember lol

Football news Today has been a wild day.. The Buffalo Bills have acquired wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings for multiple draft choices, including a first-round pick, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Buffalo is sending four picks to Minnesota -- a first, fifth and sixth in 2020 and a fourth in 2021 -- while also getting a 2020 seventh-rounder back from the Vikings.

Starting to run low on meat, specifically chicken lol Even the party warehouse in Greece and Binghamton are out, it's the point I may need to camp out overnight lol Most places are out of stock by 10am..

Nice little front end snow-rain-snow scenario on the gfs for day7-8.. Still holding out hope lol Euro much less enthused..No surprise here lol

Clear shot at Trump and the higher ups lol They said the absence of strong U.S. leadership on these key matters has left them with no choice but to try to do it themselves.

From NBC news Tri-state governors and local leaders jointly unleashed an urgent call for more extensive federal leadership on the coronavirus crisis Monday -- calling for uniform U.S. standards on crowds, immediate infrastructure assistance on hospitals and established rules on closings nationwide. In the meantime, tri-state governors are taking a unified stance on their own to help curb the spread of COVID-19, which has already killed at least eight people in New York and New Jersey. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday on a call with Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy that they had agreed to several rules that would extend across all three states -- unprecedented coordination among states to help slow the pandemic that has infected nearly 1,000 people already across the tri-state area. By those rules: There will be no crowds with gatherings over 50. Casinos will close Monday night regionwide, as well movie theaters and gyms. Bars and restaurants will also be shut down for dine-in activities as of 8 p.m. Monday. We want everybody to be home, not out," Murphy said -- and the only way to ensure that is to have a standard set of topline directives and restrictions. All three governors blasted the federal government for "falling asleep" at the wheel, lacking testing preparation, failing to provide urgent and specific guidance at the national level and bringing in the military to streamline and facilitate efforts. They said the absence of strong U.S. leadership on these key matters has left them with no choice but to try to do it themselves. "We've got to work on this together," Lamont said. "The feds have been asleep on the draw. If we do this on a regional basis we're gonna get through it." Murphy said he would expand on new statewide directives to be announced at an afternoon news briefing, but said on the call that all non-essential businesses must close at 8 p.m. nightly; non-essential travel is "strongly discouraged" between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. At this point, there is no plan to shut down mass transit in its entirety, but Murphy said they're working to find the "right-size" capacity to match reduced ridership. Ridership has plunged across the board amid new directives and the urgent, consistent call for "social distancing."

To bad we couldn't get the PNA/Nao to cooperate lol Best we can hope for is front end snow flipping to rain as everything continues to run inland..
