Typhoon Tip Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 4 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said: Our weather in New England in spring is an utter dumpster fire most of the time....I’d rather have an event give me an inch of snow over 40 hours than entertain the idea of enduring countless wheel-o-rhea days to try and sneak in a few nice ones in between. Anyways, 00z NAM definitely didn’t help anything on this storm. 3km continues to look a little better than 12km. I can certainly understand the logic but that sort idea seems more so for after the 10th of March by our climo ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the other thing is people want a more normal spring/summer this year. They’ve just about had it with covid and being indoors. Yep. Which is why I said I’ll probably change next year. I’m completely done with this effing virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit trickier but works in a pinch! You may have noticed new posters disappearing one by one. I have them chained in my basement typing my thoughts until they eventually die. I just rip and replace them as needed. No one really misses a weenie when they're gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So my whole household is now positive... my wife and my parents who live downstairs. I am awaiting my pcr test results, I’m assuming it will be positive, since my sense of taste and smell disappeared today. Ive seen quite a few articles about people’s taste and smell just flat out not coming back. That’s a little alarming to me, what’s the deal with that?

God speed My wife is on the mend, but no taste or smell at all for nearly a week now. My dad has many heart and lung conditions, but he is faring well so far. Just loss of taste and smell, and my mother a head cold. Pretty unlucky for my mom, she had already had her first dose of the vaccine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Ma vaccine site crashed, and they have no way to verify who has 2+ Underlying health issues, so it’s basically a free for all. How many healthy 20-30 somethings are going to show up saying they have 2 underlying health conditions to get the shot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks because people I know with 2 underlying conditions that are not so good but are not listed cannot get the vaccine yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone-68 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 We got a robo call from the mayor of Braintree last night stating that as of March 1st the state isn’t providing us any more COVID vaccine and the only ones (75+) who can get it now are the ones who already had the first shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
