Thought I'd pop my head in here to see what crankywx has been severe honking about (ya don't see him honk that much...so I figured it had to be something notable!) So what's going on here? Lol (reading the other posts here now!)

Well, we can put that on the list of the cons of trying to open up on May 1st... Ya know, it's a frustrating thing...being caught between the economy of public health. I honestly can't get a handle on which side of the argument to lean towards. To me, it doesn't seem like we are prepared to open that soon and still reduce the infections. It sounds like we are gonna need a rather rigorous system of testing and contact tracing in order satisfy both economic and health concerns) And for those saying "just keep the vulnerable at home"...is it really that simple?... Forgive my somewhat scattered thoughts. The unknowns of this are frustrating...because ya really don't know if we're doing just enough or doing too much!

Ha...Is that from that movie with Bullock and George Clooney? ("Gravity"?)

It snowed in the city too? Dang I missed it (was listening to a service, haha)

Dang...so is this saying that the polar vortex was so strongly consolidated that it burned a hole in the ozone layer? Lolol https://www.sciencealert.com/there-s-a-new-hole-in-the-ozone-layer-over-the-arctic

Boooooooo....From what you describe, I can't help but wonder how much she really cares. Yeah Iike @psuhoffman said, I'd definitely call the school about her if you haven't already. There ain't no excuse for that kind of stuff, smh (is she a younger teacher?)

Ah yes, the "What's that smell?" snack of choice!

I'm wondering what happens if the curve is flattened but not going down by the end of this month...I mean, could things still open, I wonder?

You'll have to pardon my ignorance on this...but I wasn't sure what the barometer was for returning to normal. And since they didn't make a decision beyond this month I thought all of that was still up in the air with the virus...

So now I'm wondering what the schools are gonna do...I'm still unclear on what the gradual opening back up would look like.

Man they better fix that thing...any updates to it coming this year? Certainly the cold bias isn't unfixable...uh, right? Lol

So I'm wondering...when we will have a better idea of May. Even with the current modeling looking better...is that contingent on us staying shutdown through May as well?

And now 1.8, smh Well, they said this was gonna be a tough week...(and I remember a few models had the US losing over 2k a day during whatever the peak was...mercy)

Well praise God for that! Happy to hear! (Was just about to ask you how the other two were doing!)

And I'm laughing at "Aerosolized feces" Hahaha That's a new one...

Just here, unfortunately...And like 680 of those are in New York alone, smh

Oh my goodness, man...I am so sorry to hear this. My folks and I will lift you and your family up in prayer--God bless. (What's your family name? Just so we can say more than "The WxWatcher007 family", haha)

Now I thought it would be around that percentage over there because of their overall older population?

1.8" (BWI)...so technically not zero, lol (although the suckage makes it a psychological zero!)

Eh, take Pinatubo outta there...that robbed of us of a mod Niño if I've read the history correctly...lol (and did St. Helen's have a climate impact at all?)

Like Tambora level?

Happy birthday, good sir! And for your b-day...a variation cake! Have a blessed one!

I'm not torturing me, the stupid crap going on in the atmosphere is. That graphic is infuriating, it's like getting robbed and the thief just keeps laughing in your face. The feeling of being unfairly passed up for a little extra happiness...How do you not be upset at that graphic? I don't care if it's happened 6 or 7 years in a row...it's still frustrating even if expected (especially given how the winter went). Next year we've earned better, imo...been through enough with this mess.

Infuriating. Man I hope this is a decadal trend and not some permanent change because of a different climate or whatever...year after year, smh Can't give us jack diddly of this one time in winter lately...If it ever comes back when it's supposed to, we had better take it all in!! I swear it's like something pushing a button to troll us, lol I hope this get "fixed" some time in the next winter or two...

I'm almost sure that no school through the end of the year was on the table...but perhaps they're trying to see if we can salvage the month of May?
