  1. My sister-in-law’s sister is a construction project manager on site in DC and just got the news she has covid. Says she’s ok. Weak, no appetite, but otherwise ok. She resisted getting the test because she didn’t want to waste it on what she was sure was not the virus.
  2. I had put this in banter, but I’ll bring it here too. If you want to feel hopeful, check out the tuberculosis (BCG) vaccine that’s given in many countries that are reporting lower cases than “normal.” Of course, some of those countries are the same ones that you’d expect to lie, so maybe no connection at all. However, this interview with Dr. Robert Gallo, the director at the Institute of Human Virology at UMD School of Medicine is intriguing. Go to about 1 minute remaining.
  3. I was thinking an apple bowing ball.
  4. What color is the bowling ball?
  5. I went to HD and got a 2” 4’ x 8’ insulation board and ordered contact whiteboard paper from amazon to make a whiteboard in my garage. I normally teach in a portable so this won’t be much different except I won’t have to keep telling the kids to put their phones away and stop chatting.
  6. It’s been pouring here for the last 30 minutes. Gusty winds and thunder.
  7. I got woken up as well, but no idea what time. It sounded pretty bad but there was only .20” in the gauge this morning, so it couldn’t have been too rough.
  8. Stop in for a beer when you’re nearby. Give me a heads up and I’ll pour you an oyster stout while we maintain social distancing. Just no more shaking hands with the clients!
  9. That's awesome! I got up at 5:30 today to get to Home Depot at six when they opened, and I had a bandana on. The trouble with bandanas is that if you don't secure them properly, you touch the areas around your face way more often than you normally would. Fortunately, I though this through beforehand, and now I have a nice, new, 4' x 8' x 1.5" insulation board covered with whiteboard contact paper to use in my garage "classroom"
  10. It’s to early in MD to draw any conclusions, but the number of new cases is hopefully a sign of better times.
  11. I’ll echo the kudos for Hogan. I wonder if he thought people would be smart enough to know the seriousness of the situation, but too many people kept gathering forcing his hand. eta: I deleted my previous post. As much as I enjoy reading the political positions of those I feel I have come to know over the years, I understand this isn’t the place for it. Just know that reading your positions, helps me define my positions. Whether I agree with them or not,
  12. Echoing everyone else's thoughts and prayers to WxWatcher007 and his family. So sorry for your loss.
  13. If I had a train and a lit flare, I know where I’d want to crash it.
  14. Nice discussion. I like that we can have differing opinions and present them respectfully. It’ll make the corn hole games at this summer’s meet-up all the more entertaining. It seems like this has been a common in the UK too.
  15. This winter has been pretty poor, Though it’s been fun seeing friends of yore, And now the snowbirds begin the migration, Wounded from no snow elation, But one thing is certainly sure, Weenies always forget the torture, And come October they’ll begin to flock, To come back for another winter crock.
  16. Keep them coming! Nice to see someone getting some snow, especially if it’s not New England.
  17. Someone down there has to have an iPhone 11. Get me some pics!
  18. I'm reaching, but hoping for enough improvements over the next few days. The panels after 132 say probably not, but definitely better, as you and others said.
  19. Weaker low into the GL @showmethesnow Jump to the coast??? eta:
  20. The storm after that looks good too. Anyone have the 408 gfs panel?
  21. Also, that dude that used to live here, @snownut I think, and lives out there now, posted a few days ago that he was having a cruddy year.
  22. I measure 6.3” from that event. I remember cross country skiing at the golf course here.
  23. Not surprising, but the gfs is looking much different for the middle of next week. Pesky GL low is weaker and something trying to brew along front near the Gulf.
