Almost 70 at 10am. Should be outside the stadium tailgating right now... Setting the TV up outside in the driveway, guess it will have to do...

That’s been an issue lately. Regular tests are running 3-4 business days to turn around. Rapid test are 24 hours but at least what I’m hearing the supply can’t meet the demand right now creating a wait list and the average time to schedule a rapid test is 3 days. Think I heard CVS or one of the other national pharmacy was the best chance for trying to get a same day rapid test. So many people are getting tested now.

Honest question (since I think I’m one of the two trump backers on this board). Is anyone concerned about splinter groups or lone wolfs taking up arms or committing domestic terrorism as a response to the election results? Some of the chatter on the underground conservative networks right now is not good. On top of that Trump’s latest post is basically a call for the Patriots to rise up...

I don’t favor a lockdown... but I can see Cuomo doing it.

Was just thinking maybe some states were waiting for the election to be over before bumming everyone out yet again this year with another lockdown. I’m feeling Cuomo is going to give us a last warning over the weekend and then by middle to end of next week we go back to everything closed through at least January. Markets will already be spiraling with the election results, this will tank them. We knew the second wave would come in the fall, at this point it’s finding out what our acceptable level of a curve would be. We can’t stay flat lined forever, but we better be ready to start pumping the breaks in time.

That video was garbage. Makes us look like nut jobs. I’m not really seeing any proof of outright “organized fraud” at this point. Few lone individuals picking people’s mail for social media fame but can’t picture those would make a difference at all. What concerns me is the videos from inside the election offices where the mail in ballots were counted. In numerous cities police were called and removed all Republicans from the counting rooms. The poll watchers then tried to use binoculars and cell phone video to observe the counts and the windows were covered up. I’m sorry but to me that’s crazy that no Republicans can be present in the counting rooms. For most the biggest point of questioning is Biden’s sudden late spikes in all these states, which we are told is a result of heavier mail in balloting. If everything is legit why won’t they make the process for counting these transparent for us the voters to see. Need to debunk the claims for all to see. Censoring and blocking the claims will just make the theories grow bigger.

Antrim County Michigan... Apparently a “software error” caused only Biden ballots to be tabulated at several precincts throughout the county. This was the posted results by the county on Wednesday AM claiming 100% of the vote was in and counted. This was also one of the counties where Republican voters were raising the alarm on SharpieGate. County is doing a hand recount of all votes and could likely add a couple thousand votes for Trump. It stands out like a sore thumb in a small county but what about larger counties where a couple thousand MIA votes wouldn’t be easily noticed.

This is gonna get ugly the next couple days... Armed Trump supporters protesting outside a Board of Elections demanding to see their votes were counted...

Quite the voter turnout in Milwaukee... Seeing a few places reporting these numbers. Considering the fact checkers haven’t censored this yet any truth?

Well he doubled down that they have video of poll watchers being barred from observing the counting of the mail in ballots. If they in fact have video to back up these claims it would be nuts. Either way Trump isn’t going to give up on this. Going to be a crazy couple weeks to finish up 2020.

#sharpiegate Crazy Arizona is suddenly back in play and could negate Biden taking both Michigan and Wisconsin if Trump can hold GA, NC, PA

That... or cell phone video would have captured conclusive evidence of the second shooter?

I don’t recall seeing the “no one” option on my ballot...???

Trumps awake for the day and he is on a Twitter rampage! On top of that they are censoring his posts like crazy! Not a good look in my opinion...

Yeah I don’t buy the theories either. I mean it’s possible all these districts that voted 100% for Biden all reported during the overnight hours... all at the same time... I mean if it was just Michigan I would say fraud. But the same Biden only spike also happened in Wisconsin just before 6am. So I’m saying it’s legit...

Not looking good for Trump this morning... Have a feeling by dinner time tonight AP will project Biden has the 270. Things are going to get ugly though if those swing states especially Michigan end up staying this close. Going to be a lot of questioning of ballot counts. Seeing things like this will give Trump supporters the ammo they need to claim voter fraud. Shortly after 6:00am Michigan had several polling locations add to their totals, in the amount of 140,000 votes. Every single one of those votes went to Biden?

Huron and GB are starting to fire up! Windy as shit out there still.

That’s a big fire...

Gonna have to keep an eye on the lake band late tonight into early tomorrow. Maybe see some graupel? Now, northeast of Lake Erie including Buffalo Metro will be tricky as temps will fall quickly and some patchy frost may try to start to form in outlying areas away from the city. However, just as that occurs, arrival of upstream shortwave and swath of deeper moisture in large scale trough swing across which along with sw low-level flow with H85 temps -2c will set up a lake response off Lake Erie aimed toward Buffalo Metro. Forecast soundings show lake equilibrium levels climbing toward 20kft, so lake response could be robust, at least briefly. Pops were already high, but increased QPF some. Heavest lake effect could produce rain amounts over 0.50 inch later tonight if they stay stationary long enough. As this lake effect ramps up, expect temps later tonight downstream of Lake Erie to rise back into the 40s.

I would agree at this point it’s like the old chicken pox days... Get it and get it over with. Yes there is a portion of the population that is high risk and will develop severe complications but the vast majority of the population will experience nothing more than a common cold. Those at highest risk should take extra precautions and avoid exposure situations. The rest should get back to a new normal way of life. Still mask up and social distance... but we need to keep opening more up. The purpose was to flatten the curve, not make it zero. Sure the infection rates are slowly climbing across the us and worldwide but I’m not hearing about overwhelmed hospitals. I feel they are much more prepared now to diagnose and more effectively treat higher risk patients that have a chance to pull through. We’re not seeing massive spread through business, workplaces, shopping centers, grade schools, restaurants, etc... we are seeing rapid spread through assisted living facilities, college campuses, and sports teams. Again looking at the persons physical well-being I would be interested to compare the numbers. Take the two nursing homes that are having an outbreak and see what percent needed hospital care or worse who died. Then compare it to the percent of college kids or athletes... I mean look at the NFL players getting it and 10 days later they are back on the field playing at peak performance. How? Look at Trump. Would be classified a higher risk individual. He gets it, actually falls pretty ill then gets a drug cocktail and jacked up on steroids and 48 hours later he’s out of the hospital and on a bender. Maybe the focus needs to be less on the vaccine that doesn’t exist yet and more on current treatments that are yielding positive outcomes.

Put this together like 12 years ago...

I lived in West Seneca at the time. Only had 13” at my location and our power was back on much sooner than most, only 3 1/2 days, but the destruction was unmatched. Wish I took more video during the night but honestly once the power went out you couldn’t see anything and for the first time ever weather watching I felt my safety was in danger wandering around outside. One thing I’ll never forgot was that sound the breaking branches would make. That creak... creak... creak... SNAP... Pre smart phone days and we had to listen to the battery radio for any news updates. Such a close 2nd on my all time list,
