  1. Well sheesh I mean...what would it have to be to be akin to 2005 then? Lol
  2. 09-10 has to be the most abused analog in the history if winter forecasting, smh This has gotten absurd!
  3. "But it's just the testing! The testing!".......lol
  4. Man, after stuff not working the way it does...it would be nice to have a GOOD "this didn't behave the way it should have" happen...shoot, stupid weak nino of 2018-19 didn't behave the way we it should have, so any good fluke would balance it out!
  5. Maybe because there are other things? Yes, obesity increases your risk for a lot of things, no doubt. But it's not like it's just obese people lying in the ICUs or worse. It's not like previously healthy people aren't getting seriously ill. So going too far on this end of the argument just becomes too much of a convenient generalization (no doubt used to downplay the seriousness of the pandemic)
  6. And what's really frustrating is that we had to roll a nina AGAIN...twice in 4 years...right after a neutral year where the AO/NAO was record positive, smh Man I hope we can fluke/anomaly something this year...because I'm wondering if, with a nina this strong (or is it moderate), it won't leak over into the following winter as well...(can't imagine the numbers of the winter following a la nina are spectacular)
  7. So where you say we are hear in Baltimore? Have we peaked or is there more to come?
  8. I would hope that this time around...with better testing than the Spring, we are in a better position to do more targeted lockdowns if necessary. Feels like the combination of us flying blind and still not knowing what we were dealing with led to the bigger shutdowns...
  9. And I don't get this...It takes a certain kind of...thinking, to believe this. To ignore everything...and instead then believe it's all some global conspiracy against Trump...I don't know what to call that, smh
  10. They are in a difficult position made borderline impossible by their inaction and failure at the start of this. Much of the developed world struggles...but some countries clearly had better approaches to keep it from becoming as dire. It was the strategy (or lack therof) at the beginning that put us in a worse position...so them now throwing up their hands and saying "eh, it is what it is" to try and absolve themselves from responsibility doesn't quite work, imo

  12. Man! We gonna see this tick west to the same dang spot again? COME ON!!
  13. Err....2020 chaos leading to us fluking into something? But seriously though, do we have much other choice but to hope for fluke(s) in a nina?
  14. Yeah the "long haul syndrome" is another part of this where there is still much to be learned...praying that you don't have any lingering effects and can be 100% again--glad to hear you are recovering!
  15. And even more ironic that we see over 80,000 cases right after he, once again, said that we're "rounding the corner" repeatedly last night, smh There's trying to be "positive" and then just continuously speaking an alternate reality. It just makes things even more frustrating
  16. Didn't think this season had an eye like that in it, haha (kinda funny how it's been so active yet sloppy in shape overall) Very nice!
  17. Are you forgetting what year this is? Would not put it past 2020 AT ALL, lol
  18. Was actually referring to the solar minimum
  19. Yeah I don't think we can call it "snake oil" unless it doesn't yield any results this year. But if we manage a blocked miracle or two that somehow gets us to at least 18" then it still counts in my book
  20. Only magical escape routes...this being 2020 and the last "history" trend that hasn't officially failed yet in the solar minimum Both of those things don't deliver then yeah...lol But it's funny...with stuff being so whacky since 2016, with the rug being pulled out with bad surprises of things not working the way they looked to be in the pre-winter forecasting...you wonder why we couldn't get a good surprise for a change...with stuff not work the way it appears to be right now, lol
  21. WOW...lol Sweden...the biggest used and abused excuse for covid lackadaisicalism....is now starting to rethink things? I'm just sorry it took their their mortality rate per to jump up to 3rd worst (and a 137% increase in cases over the last month) to do it! It must be getting worse over there...
  22. I can believe it...I guess if it weren't for all the other 2020 chaos going on, it may have gotten more notice!
