  1. We agree it's under done. I also believe you can move the 2 to 4 inch range smack through and a bit north of Buffalo as well.
  2. I want you to look at that map and then go to a wide view of the storm over Michigan. This storm is further north not only with the snow shield but also areas of more moderate rates. If you go due west of Buffalo there is moderate snow bands that will effectively cross the buffalo are in about 6 or 7 hours as the LP moves east/ne. These totals are too far south imo.
  3. Honestly this is just icing on a 7 layer cake with the main ingredients being chocolate laxative. I mean if we're going to go through an unprecedented time in our lives we may as well just blow the top off this thing.
  4. It is complex. Treasury bonds being purchased by the public, borrowing from other countries (I believe believewe actually owe China some 1+ trillion making them our largest debt load) the bonds are eventually bought back by the US and we get our cut, or those that purchased bonds to fund the loans.
  5. We're going to receive more snow in April than March...
  6. I will check the source. It was stated somewhere that up to 50% of the population could be unaffected by the virus due to their DNA makeup.
  7. Up to 50% of the population is not able to be affected by Covid. It would be beneficial to have the new testing out that can tell if you were positive in the past or if you cannot be affected. This would help an enormous amount of our country to getting back to normal
  8. Being an "at will" state makes me cringe. Like yourself I've been in some sort of banking/finance for the past 12 years and I too have witnessed the here today gone tomorrow routine. I think unfortunately this opens the doors of favoritism to certain employees and unfair practices to others. Why we haven't gone the way of an actual reason to be let go is archaic.
  9. My wife has a good friend whose husband works for CSX. He has moved from buffalo, to Syracuse to now in South Carolina. He makes approximately 130k a year as an engineer for rail freight hauling. You can bet the amount of money the the rail lines can save from paying workers those wages AND the pension they receive will force the issue soones than later imo.
  10. What strikes me about the article above is it does mention family size was much larger 30 to 40 years ago when having 3 or 4+ kids was not uncommon. Today 1 or 2 is the norm and people think my wife and I are out of our minds because we have 3. That cost of living off sets the wages we earn as to the amount we spend. What is also interesting about the article is the very last paragraph. It states as a whole we are afraid of robots taking jobs. I think that's a real concern outside of a few industries. Automated telemarketers, electronic ordering at restaurants, bank-less tellers...and with this new pandemic I only see this increasing much more in the next 20 years. What used to be industrial is now electronic and were never going back.
  11. Yeah that's when the sun is strongest during the day (2 to 5) pm and mixing would accelerate. I'm torn. I stood at Lowe's yesterday (N95 on) and almost purchased a generator. I talked myself our of it...i think I'm arguing with myself now...
  12. From what I've learned is they look to the strain of flu in the southern hemisphere and do there best to try and copy the virus and make a vaccine for it...this gives them approximately 4 months to do so.
  13. I know there's this corona thing going on but for just a brief moment let's see if we can focus on next Monday's wind potential. If realized thus could be a pretty damaging scenario unfolding for the more densely populated parts of the Niag Frontier Late Monday morn through way Monday night. The NWS has stated winds may be SUSTAINED at 50mph for some time that afternoon with gusts to 70mph, which I would think hit 80 in spots of Niagara and Orleans cos. What we certainly do not need now are widespread power outages for days due to an event like this.
  14. Lol lately the Mets are in the same category as the 3 blind mice, Mr. Magoo and Ray Charles as a guide through a maze...
  15. I saw today on CBS this morning that elderly and people of color were at the greatest risk of contracting and perishing from Covid-19. I have been silently wondering about this over the past weeks if a certain race was more likely to contract than others. Thus is the first time this has been brought up as fact.
  16. Even if that's true life as we know it will not return to normal...cuomo stated as much. He basically stated we learned from China and Korea that if it's too soon then we will just introduce more cases.
  17. This weekend intrigues me. I feel all areas will see some flakes but due to how warm the ground is the only areas that have a chance to see any grassy accums are the highest ridges of SW NY and of course the Tug.
  18. Ozark is seriously worth it. My wife and I just began watching from episode one. Bateman is a genius.
  19. They were measuring in centimetres and displaying it in inches...
  20. I mean we didn't have a white Christmas so why not a white Easter...
  21. That makes the death rate much lower. If it can be said that for every 1 person showing symptoms theres 1 that's not. That means the 256k showing symptoms one could deduce there are 250k more positive but asymptomatic. That would take the death rate in the US to around 1%.
  22. Banks are wary of the debt load. They aren't getting the answers they need to feel comfortable
