The Lord is risen indeed--Alleluia, Alleluia! A blessed Resurrection Sunday to you as well!

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?

If we are now at the point where neutral ensos are no longer 50/50 and more likely to be bad than good, and we can only score in ninos...that's a sad reality. Seeing as we may only get like what...1-2 ninos per decade? That would mean we'd only hit above average 2 out of 10 years. Man I hope that's not the reality we're looking at...(and why does it seem like ninas happen more times in a decade than ninos?)

Hello! Mid-Atlantic dweller here...Now I'd caution against thinking the euro being on an island is a good thing. Last Friday it was on it's own showing a cutter a cutter up here...until all the other guidance caved to it the very next day, lol Not to say it definitely happens the same way, but...just something to consider!

Yes seriously...I don't ever remember waking up to a morning thunderstorm in February (doesn't seem like we get them a lot in the morning even in the summertime!). Of course the weenie in me says "hey, maybe it re-shuffled the winter pattern!"...lol Either way, this was a bit anomalous, wasn't it?

4 tornados...in one February day. Wow! (can't believe I'm posting in a severe thread in February, lol) Now...shall the old folklore about thunder and snow ring true this time? Stay tuned!

Thank you for making this, PSU. Ya know, maybe this is just my brain, but...sometimes when looking at these maps that show the -AO and all of those things...I have trouble visualizing the storm tracks while looking at them. Are there any vids that can show something like, say, an animation that illustrates a storm moving through/between these various atmospheric pieces?

Still a tiny improvement though, isn't it?
