I guess most economists are also engaging in hyperbole because they’re worried about the same thing. The economy has slowed down big time since the summer. That’s irrefutable.
Has it? I am not an economist, but I haven't seen that locally. Maybe you have?

I'm dreaming of a Brown Christmas...
I am wondering if I can make it the entire month of December and still have no measurable snow for the season. GFS is saying I have a chance at it.

And there were 11 at Thanksgiving where we went and we are all healthy. There are more of those stories than what you are sharing for sure.

When will this system finally be fully sampled?

GFS is a little faster and slightly SE of 12Z. Still a little warm here but baby steps. Now if it can continue a little more SE.

Any life lost is tragic, but as far as deaths of despair brought on by the pandemic, I am guessing that number is nowhere near 280,000 right now.
I think the "is the cure worse than the disease" debate gets more interesting if you factor everything else in... financial hardships, kids struggling to adapt, etc, although I would argue that if we took the let it rip approach and were sitting on 500,000 deaths right now, that would have its own effects.
I agree, but that article was only about one piece of the puzzle. There are many more factors like you said and in places like Japan, there were more suicides in October than COVID deaths all year combined. I know they have a high suicide rate to begin with but that is a crazy statistic.

No one really wants to talk about it, but how many lives can we lose as "collateral damage" and no even bother to question it? These mental health statistics are just the tip of the iceberg. Is the cure worse than the disease? I don't know.

Looks like wagons north is the early theme today. RDPS is north along with the NAM.

06z gfs agrees with the 00z euro on the low track, but wildly different sensible weather solutions.
Only 16 more model runs until we see what really happens.

GRR is toying with me
We are still expecting a system to affect the area in the Friday through Sunday time frame. There are multiple upper troughs and cut off lows that come together in some fashion to bring the low to the lakes this weekend. The first trough is currently in the middle of the Pacific with a cut off low dropping south near Southern California. The waves come together over the plains on Friday with a low moving through the Great Lakes in the Saturday time frame. At this point, looking at the operational models, the Canadian is furthest northwest moving a low through Wisconsin. The GFS is more of a middle of the road track, moving the low through the GRR forecast area. The ECMWF is further southeast, tracking the low through Southeast Lower Michigan. 12z European ensemble low locations Saturday evening are starting to zero in on the southern Great Lakes area for the track of the low, so leaning towards a GFS or ECMWF solution. What this means is we are looking at a potentially impactful system this weekend with a rain to snow type of scenario. Wind is also in play depending on the depth of the low. Way too early to nail down any details at this point with this system, but we are certainly watching it. It appears we are looking at a period of lake effect snow as well on the backside, Sunday into Monday. More to come this week as details emerge.

I have had a trace on a couple of occasions, but unless it fell and night and melted before I could see it in the morning there hasn't been anything measurable. Look at the snow maps, there is a donut hole around this part of the state.

For those of you fixated on only one aspect of this pandemic - the raw numbers, this health crisis is so often overlooked.

Is the GFS trying to model a clipper at the end of the run? That would be a nice change if that really happens.

Pretty scene after the sun rose with the moon still out this morning. With abundant sunshine expected so is melting.
Bare ground by evening?

It's been active...
Today is our third storm or weather event, whatever you want to call it, since Nov 22. Potential for a 4th this weekend but it'll likely end up east of the subforum. STJ is quite active right now, surprisingly for a La Nina, while the polar jet remains suppressed.
Guess I was referring to places west of you. For example in my area snowfall stats.
GRR
SINCE JUL 1 0.4 7.3 -6.9 6.8
MKG
SINCE JUL 1 1.2 6.2 -5.0 10.9
Precip stats are also on the drier side during this time period.

I thought La Nina years were supposed to be active. This snoozefest needs to go.

If only 20% of the country has been infected, that's basically proof that masks and distancing work. We'd undoubtedly be at 40% at least without those measures.
Why not 60% or 75%? Pure speculation at best. Give some reasoning please.

Whats sad is this pandemic is so easy to control. We just need need a willing government and people
If this were true why are so many countries struggling then?

Wisconsin and Michigan both came it with much lower numbers at least.
This is 5 days or so in a row with declining numbers in Michigan. Not sure if it is a trend or a blip.
