Went for a run this morning... everywhere I went smelled like food. Saw quite a few more cars on the road and all that; nothing crazy like what Hoosier's describing but there's definitely a lot of family fun going on right now. Even if everyone were to just celebrate with their own immediate families, I wonder if there would be a notable increase. Please don't weenie me, I'm just speculating.

Snow totals a lot less wild this time around.

I can handle not getting snow from this storm, but I cannot handle Chicago getting a foot while I get zip. :/

Well at least someone knows what they're talking about

Howdy. The NAM definitely seems to be following the trend of there being a strong system. It's definitely not too far east, as far as I can tell, but I wouldn't call it a great look for you or especially I necessarily.

Euro's about in the same place too

Ask again in a week

I know. T'was but a light-hearted jest.

Asking Chicago to not reel this one in is like shooting spit balls at the 6'3" Eastern-bloc bouncer at the club.

Gotta bump that thing about 100 miles west, then we're talking

Nobody's posting now, but just wait until after the Euro run...

The storm is just too powerful for the models to handle

I had to lol

I mean if you're actually a well trained distance runner then by all means, I retract my statement. I thought you exercised either just a little. My bad

That is frighteningly low. As a semi-elite athlete (I actually am pretty fast) I have yet to meet one runner with a heart rate below 40. Mine is actually around 60, it just doesn't increase as much as other people's heart rates under stress.

I appreciate that truthfully, if you're optimistic every time, then eventually you have to get it right lol

For posterity, so we may all admire the first true clown map of the year.

The GFS is doing the same wonky stuff that the Euro did. If I may venture a humble guess, I'd say that someone could stand to cash in pretty hard, and by someone I mean probably a large number of us.

There's a couple of people in this thread who are straight up Olympians... All of them participate in the Mental Gymnastics event.

Fr. This is the verbatim start of "meteorological winter"

I, for one, have actually not given up quite yet on this baby moving back west

Surprised that none of the OV posters have mentioned that actually all three big models (GFS, EURO, CMC) have at least something that could end up as a storm for the eastern half of the sub forum.

Since this has turned into health class, might I suggest that for this week's Fun Friday we all bring our yoga mats and relax?* *I'm just trying to lighten the mood a little.

There is really no point in discussing weight loss as a remedy for Covid, because there is simply no chance that people would actually start losing weight for Covid. We might as well suggest that someone build a time machine and exterminate all bats back in 2019. Stebo is right. The types of people who are fat enough to be at greater risk from Covid are definitely not going to be losing that weight fast enough for it to make a difference before the vaccine. Weight loss is a remedy for a lot of much more serious illnesses than Covid. If imminent heart failure isn't gonna make you try and become healthier, then your "1%" chance of dying from Covid certainly won't.
