Does anyone have reliable observations from Haymarket for today?

Weather Underground insisted it was 100 degrees real (114 feels like) for over an hour today which was significantly hotter than other sites.

Shoveled for the instacart and Thai food deliveries. There was a noticeable amount of snow on the side walk in Haymarket. It probably wasn't quite an inch but impressive for a storm that I dismissed. 

The more interesting part is the very very thin layer of slush under it was frozen. 

It's def. not going to be a night to go outside and drive around I think.

If this booms federal workers are out of luck. If you are at work at eight you will have to leave at eight now to hopefully get there by ten during the best part of the storm?

this is how you get chaos. If it booms.

This may be only game in town this week, Euro went poof this run for next weekend’s storm.

Next weekend has been on and off in unrealistically long models for weeks.

It wants to snow. This isn't the winter for 7 day lock ins. This is January of snow. 

How are the temps verifying against say the Friday model runs for this time?

Tomorrow?

Pwc called it for Thursday citing widespread power outages for where the staff lives as a primary reason. 

The quicker they blow the treatment budgets, the sooner we will have a crippling BCSE (it's been so long since impressive snow of real or digital type, what's the biblical snow abbreviation?)

Overall...isn't it kinda hard to get tornados in cities anyway? (buildings?)

March 2000 Ft Worth

this one caused the Tandy (RadioShack) high rise to be imploded (originally scheduled the day after 9/11 and had to be delayed) because of tornado damage. 

That is similar to the Char Broiler Infrared Gas Grill setup I had a few years ago.

It's all radiant heat so it should be more even as well.

I have a real question.

If everything either had a wild swing leading up to this exact moment or totally overplayed it, why do you have confidence that Monday into Tuesday is a complete loss based on the same models?

Why do people buy margarita mix?  It’s just tequila, Cointreau or triple sec, and lime juice. 

 

Try substituting SOLERNO BLOOD ORANGE LIQUEUR for the Cointreau and adding one of the ANCHO REYES chili liqueur.

I read it as "ready to open - pending a lift of the stay at home order that is currently through the 15th"?

This is nonsense, but I guess it's the type of nonsense that the usual suspects here don't report and the mods love to see.

Not worth my time otherwise.

So you run when presented with facts? If you want to debate... let's go... if you want to just continue to spout nonsense would you take it to Facebook where nonsense runs rampant.

As of today, 62,406 people have died in America of COVID19 according to the CDC.

There is no end in sight, there is no treatment plan (outside traditional treatments for the symptoms that develop along with the COVID19). There is no vaccination.

A large percent of the population can carry this and transmit it without knowing.

There are 1,063,446 known US cases to date. That is a 5.8% death rate. 

This isn't the flu.

Start your argument over again... why do you think we should sacrifice Americans when this has only gone on two months to date and it's this dire already?

Science is strongly moving towards this virus having a much lower IFR but higher infection rate than we thought. All the data is pointing that way now, debate now is over the degree. It wasn't that long ago that some governors made lockdown decisions based on data that showed 10% or more of people could die. We are still dealing with the reverberations of those decisions because of political inertia. It takes time to clear that kind of bad data when political careers are at stake and the voters are very scared because they ingested tons of bad doom porn data from social media.

You don't think 60k+ deaths in two months while locked down is concerning enough ? I mean the people in 2008 were worried that the government was ready to form death panels under socialized medicine , but you've already been a one man death panel that above stressed 70+ old people should die so 30 year olds can go to tourist restaurants.

We’re talking about a culture that slaughters dogs and cats for meat...and exotic animals and then cages and sells them, much of the time killing them live in person. What are we really talking about here? Does the entire population participate in this? Of course not. But it is a large part of the culture over there. Again, I stated a reliable source supporting  that particular way of life likely contributes to these disease outbreaks. If you didn’t like my particular wording, apologies but we’re talking semantics 

Have you seen Tiger King yet? Do you think our entire country is above the behavior you are talking about? I grew up in Missouri I assure you we are not. We literally got horse in school and squirrel at the baby sitters.

How does 2014 not make this list?

How does Feb 2010 not make it?!? The snow from the parking lot piled into a mountain was still visible from a distance on Mother's Day. I remember we were one lane through 5 foot drifts for a least two weeks in my townhouse neighborhood.

for the record:

Didn't someone write an article about this a year or two ago when it seemed to only snow on weekends?

If we are talking about it multiple years in a row, when does it become statistically significant?

Whoever is recently browsing this thread (including myself) are like a gambler at the slot machine at 6 in morning after liquidating their house and car the night before.   

happiness at 11am

The problem with hitting is just like winter 2009-2010... once you hit, no one can say "but NO ONE EVER WINS at slots." 

My wife didn't even believe I had won when I was texting her the pic of the jackpot, then of the two stacks of cash (yea MGM Grand pays out in cash apparently)

Snow chasing is EXACTLY like slot machines to the chemicals in my brain. I know this unfortunately
