DeltaT13

Maybe Overboard, lolz. Haha....I'd say its about 9.2" too high in the ROC.

Talk about docile/boring weather in the lower 48. You don't see a map like this all that often in late November!

If we seceded we’d be the poorest state in the nation for our population size. NYC completely props us up and funds the dying upstate rust belt. Monroe county is one of the poorest counties in the nation for its size. Erie and Onondaga are the other two biggest counties and all three run massive deficits every single year (and we are the “good” counties upstate). We get a hell of a lot more money and resources from NYC than they get from us. I’m always shocked this isn’t obvious. Seceding would be absolute suicide for upstate.

Man oh man, with thanksgiving next week this is setting up for the perfect storm. I’m hoping people make good choices.

What’s going on in Erie county? 802 new cases today . That seems crazy

The masks in your own house states that it’s only necessary if you are bringing strangers into the mix. I know it sounds crazy but it’s honestly the right thing to do. If one of my neighbors comes over for something we mask up. If I go help the elderly woman next store with her computer I mask up. They aren’t saying wear a mask in your house all the time, just when intermingling with others. It’s obviously not enforceable but the premise is sound. This whole thing sucks. Some of you act like we are all doing this for fun or to stick it to the right. It’s just not true. We are all trying to figure out how to beat this. It’s a shame it’s not a team effort.

The “we have more cases because we are testing more” might be the single most mind boggling statement during this whole thing. If we are finding more cases because of more testing it only confirms that this thing is more out of control than we realized. You can test a billion people and if no one has it your numbers will be zero (I know that sounds obvious but apparently it isn’t). Testing only confirms the existing problem.

Pretty thorough article that confirms that mask mandates do indeed work. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/18/us/covid-state-restrictions.html?action=click&module=Top+Stories&pgtype=Homepage&fbclid=IwAR0p5mdHa501xmqGXOxYv6FjX1GK0iHXDDZKl09F3tkU2488apNQiGlhB_E

So if we stop testing this goes away immediately? Fascinating stuff here.

I work with plenty of people in there 60s who are terrified of catching this and having permanent damage or dying 20 years premature (and they have no serious comorbidities) Any person who doesn’t take this seriously Is foolish. I’ve seen enough stories on healthy people ending up in very rough shape, the chances are low but far from zero. I’m not taking any chances. 250k is a huge number for a disease that didn’t exist in this country 10 months ago. Drop in the bucket my ass, these are real people dying. Republicans are so crass and heartless, it’s unreal.....and they take pride in it. It’s bizarre and sad.

Upstream moisture and a Gbay connection setting up right now. I might sneak out an inch tonight if things play out right.

What part of that post was offensive? It was a simple counterpoint. He has since responded and didn’t seem upset. Also, what do tags have to do with any of this. One of my posts was deleted? I had no idea. Which one and why? And who are you, A mod?

Trump has said many times that we test too much. And we need to slow down testing. On what planet could any sane human suggest such a thing during a pandemic. Testing is the single most important thing we have until a vaccine is developed. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, testing is the key to beating this...and we (and the rest of the world) blew it completely. We still haven’t tested even half the country 9 months into this thing.. not good enough. The fact that Trump could ever suggest this confirms that he is treating this like some golf game with the rest of the worlds leaders (and as usual, he’s still losing) which is sickening. He doesn’t care if people get sick or die, just as long as no one knows about it and we don’t broadcast the numbers. And then when he does try to spin it, he erroneously will say no one has tested more than us; which is both false per capita, and not something we should be bragging about anyway. It’s just so bad. There is no worse person to handle a crisis where science and empathy are critical.

Vortmax. You are smarter than this. The Trump admin may have taken the bare minimum of actions during this pandemic but to defend Trump is laughable. I can pull up all the times he said it would go away. The times he said it was just one guy and it would soon be zero. Him claiming it would disappear with warm weather. Him being reluctant to bring 15 people from the cruise ship ashore because it would make the numbers look bad (lol, he was worried about 15 people and we now have 180,000 cases a day). Him saying we will open back up by easter. Him calling it hoax. Etc etc. Why defend Trump on this topic? He’s been an absolute abomination. You know it. I know it. Give it up, it’s embarrassing.

I have no idea how people are already calling off winter on November 17th...What exactly is this based on? Some lousy teleconnections for the next 4 weeks (which still doesnt even get us into the actual calendar start of winter)?? Aside from one really warm week in November, things are right on track in regards to a typical year. I think I'm -1.5" in the snowfall dept according to climatology. For my area (where we get very little meaningful lake effect), I look forward to February and March; the big months for Synoptic whoppers. We haven't even got to the starting line yet and people are writing off this winter. Weird wild stuff indeed, get a grip everyone..

You need to delete some of your previous attachments. It happens every so often.

What’s the update on B-dubs fence?!

Strongest winds are usually an hour behind the front. You’ll still get a little more action.

Well I lost power instantly when the front came through! Running on the generator. First thing I hooked up was the tv and antenna! Go Bills

Hard to know if it’s the weather or just two bad teams but the score of the Cleveland game is only 3-0 in the fourth quarter

I mean to be honest we shouldn’t have had much wind at all (so far) given the setup. It’s unusual to get strong winds in the warm sector. 30-60mins after the frontal passage will be out sweet spot. The frontal passage itself is losing steam as downstream rains and clouds used up any good energy.

Post frontal winds are looking good. Currently sustained at 39 and gusting to 58 in Cleveland. That validates the high wind warning for them and hopefully us.

26mb drop over the past 24 hours in my backyard!

260,000 power outages in Ohio right now. Hoping we can bring some of that magic up into WNY!

Just came to post! They are playing football there today too! Game is delayed.
