I'll go B+ here. I loved the snowy stretch, but without sounding too weenie-ish, at least some snow on the ground for the holidays is a must have. If we could have just gotten like a two-incher on the 23rd it would have made it an A+

If my semi-elite distance running teammates were bed-ridden with Covid for a week, then it'll probably kick half of your asses no matter how much "exercise" you do. Yes, being healthy will help your body stave off disease without distraction for sure, but if y'all actually think that being healthy is enough on its own, then you've got to wise up.

In reality, masks only protect against a very small number of all of the pathogens that a human consumes. That small number includes a lot of the bad ones though. Wearing masks will certainly help prevent person-to-person spread, but I highly doubt it would have any meaningful impact on the evolution of the immune system. Edit: More food for thought: Humans aren't the only ones evolving. The more we get exposed to diseases, the more those diseases evolve to infect us more efficiently. Note that efficiency doesn't equal lethality, but still.

Once the snowpack has dwindled to a safe level, what we really need is a nice big soaker to clean all the salt and crap off of everything

That fade/beard combo is at least as majestic as the snow

I already got my camera, I'm itching to take my 2003 Civic chasing

These mood flakes today are some of the best I've ever seen combined with the lighting

I don't care what happens with the system around 200 hours out as long as it isn't suppressed way south. Let it be a rainer or a heavy snow. Just not CAD.

I guess we have to wait and see if this trends any better. Time will tell.

That's dedication

Just got really windy and snowy in far SE DuPage.

I'm begging for the band to make it to downtown Naperville but that's reaching

Nice to see the solid blue wave march northward, but like others have said, I wonder if that implies a larger system or a quicker one

Roads are already shit from last night. Tonight's gonna be bad

^That's the exact path that I hope that LES band takes.

I really wonder how likely it is that I scrape off with more than 5"

Calling it now Aurora is going to steal the LES where there's a will there's a way

For all of you who have been deserving this snow for a while, I hope it delivers and then some.

Maybe it's a tad east, but I really don't see how it's a large enough change to write home about. It's like a fifty mile difference over 100 hours out.

Ukie is still garbo but that's okay it took a while to catch on with this last even too I thought

I'm sure it'll happen soon

Speaking of foreign support, the GEM looks a lot better.

Nope. This is the last big one I hope before the cracks start showing, so let's make it an actual big one
