MAG5035 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Definitely a wet/unsettled regime the next few days. That Sunday/Monday system looks like it's going to be another solid rain producer. Can't help but wonder about the what if, as the overnight models now all draw the low under PA to redevelop on the coast with a high anchored to the north. Here's hoping we're ready to rock come December, and not waste a cold pattern early during the first half of November for a change. At any rate, the potential is still there in the northern tier higher elevations of PA for a mix/changeover to snow later on in that system as the low goes to the coast.. as well as even the Laurel's on the very tail end. Pretty impressive that the prospect of such things is even on the table this late. It doesn't look like we're ready to come out of this below average/unsettled pattern through likely at least into the first week of May. When the 540 line is still clearing PA behind systems on May 1st (as in the case of the GFS), we're definitely not talking any kind of late spring/early summer warmth. 18 hours ago, Bubbler86 said: Let's have a presser on how much rainy days help to clean covid off shared outside surfaces. Lol, or just inject a lil Lysol and it'll fix us up in no time . Nope couldn't leave that one go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot get enough UV Rays right now. I threw out all my sunscreen so it does not lead to me getting Covid. And I stick with my my thought that this ugly weather is coming at a terrible time when we most would like the freedom to get out and enjoy nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 On 4/23/2020 at 12:09 AM, MAG5035 said: It's a little bit confusing but I'm pretty sure these guidelines are talking about keeping a 14 day average of new cases below that 50 per 100,000 threshold. So for Cumberland County's estimated 253,370 people.. the 50 per 100,000 (0.0005) would come out to staying under 127 new cases in a 14 day period. Or in other words, they would have to average no more than about 9 new cases per day over the two weeks. Since Cumberland County as of today has only had 207 total cases for the whole span of this outbreak, you may be a lot closer to the threshold to relaxing guidelines than you think. Otherwise, how would a county whose total number of cases already exceeded infecting 50 per 100,000 people ever technically reach the guidelines to relax restrictions? PA doesn't keep track of who has recovered from this thing. This map is on the Allentown Morning Call newspaper site. Considering the discussion yesterday, and Gov Wolf's criteria for reopening, it may be useful to refer to it from time to time to see where we stand. It's the 4th map down on the page. https://www.mcall.com/coronavirus/mc-nws-pa-coronavirus-map-20200315-update-20200315-vwvbiaqfave2bnz36tdrypesei-htmlstory.html Just click or hover over the county you want to know about and it'll give you an exact number...

I think most here look at Trumps comments (for the last month plus) and mostly just a guy trying to give out suggestions and a little off kilter but there are so many people in our country who listen to him like he is the person who knows best and follows what he says...its hard to imagine as many of us seem to carry more of what we would call common sense but for every one of us there is someone who will take info differently and may act on it. The makers of Lysol had to come out and make a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one thing I am not grasping here is that as more and more testing is brought into play that will only lead to more positives even if the virus is not expanding its reach...so it does not seem likely that place like the LSV are going to do well with this criteria anytime in the near or even somewhat distant future.

Yes, and I also wonder if the spike in new statewide cases the past few days plays into that as well. The number of daily deaths has come down (I believe) but new confirmed cases have gone up.

daxx Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Give me this weather all the way up to Thanksgiving. The sun/heat doesn’t do anything for me.
