    Jan 24-26th Potential Something Part 2

    I think the takeaway for me is that once again, it appears we are going to fail to put the best band in the I-80 corridor of eastern LOT/northwest Indiana.  Probably been a few years now (Feb 2018?) since that corridor jackpotted in a significant snowstorm in the LOT cwa.  But at least it appears that several inches is likely to occur.  

    I was really hoping for around 6" or a little more even if we weren't in the main band but it does seem like that's becoming more unlikely. I know this is setting the bar really low but with how the last few years have gone, it would be nice to at least get the grass covered and get a wintery look which appears to be reasonable to expect at this point.

    All the above said, if a 18z GFS and ECMWF (operational and ensemble) type solution verifies, or north of that, mixing south of I-80 is a lock and possibly up to or a bit north of I-80 for a time on Monday before cold air comes in on the backside.

    As someone south of I-80 how concerned should the general area be about the ice amounts if solutions like those verify? I know it doesn't take much to cause problems.

    Not even gonna start getting excited until at least the 00z runs tomorrow night.  If we're setting the bar at a shovelable/plowable snow, then I'm feeling that.  

    I'm just hoping we can get in the main band with minimal/no mixing. I know it's still entirely possible but I'm at least feeling a bit better about it than I did last night.

    That's what I'm saying.  31-32 is a bigger runoff concern in heavy rates.  Runoff isn't really a concern at 28 unless maybe if it's a torrential downpour.

    How much does the temp of the droplet matter in situations like this? It seems like the surface cold is forecasted to be shallow with a deep warm layer above.

    Just like going to a restaurant? Somehow the risk magically goes away when I sit down? Now I can “take my mask off”?

    Did you maybe read that out of context? I wasn't saying that at all and was just adding to StormfanaticInd's point. I think that eating with anyone that isn't in your household is an unnecessary risk no matter what the setting is.

    I'm also not saying that grocery stores are perfect but people need to get food somehow. If people reasonably follow the guidelines it does reduce the risk considerably.

    Thats not even close to the same thing. Grocery store you are in and out but Thanksgiving family gatherings is an all day affair inside of a house. 

    Plus you don't have to take off a mask to grocery shop. At a minimum people will take off their masks to eat for Thanksgiving.

    Live with it.

    That's pretty much the entire problem, though. The science at this moment points to a significant number of people literally not being able to 'live with it' if everyone that can doesn't wear a mask in public while this pandemic is happening.

    I have an immediate family member that is temporarily immunocompromised that I'm trying my best to protect but it feels as if people like you just don't seem to care about the risk you are placing on others like him. You, unfortunately in this case, are a citizen of the same county as I am and it's entirely possible we may physically cross paths. While I agree arguments over the internet usually don't matter, what you do could very well affect what happens to someone I care about in the future.

    I recognize that is is a bad situation for everyone for varying reasons but I don't think it's a huge ask to wear a mask so those that may be in a worse situation have a better chance of getting through this. I'm not asking anyone to trust the government or what's on television but to have a bit of compassion for everyone else that needs it right now. I'm not personally in an age group that has to worry about this as much but I choose to wear a mask when I'm in public for the ones who may fight for their lives if they catch this.
