This lady yesterday who claimed to be an EMT argued to me her firm belief that COVID 19 had already spread throughout the entire world long before the supposed patient zero was infected. Her evidence included notions such as "lots of people getting sick with bad colds this winter", including herself after she went on vacation. She tried telling me that all a bad case of COVID-19 really is, is a bad case of pneumonia, but when I asked her what her point was, she sort of just looked at me in disbelief and said it was nice talking to me. I guess she didn't realize that what she was saying argued against her point. I know it sounds a little contrived, but I swear on my life that's exactly how the conversation went. I'm not trying to be belittling in the slightest, but there's a difference between driving ambulances and studying diseases.

Imho Alek should

For what my opinion is worth, I don't really hate where I sit for this next big storm. Nothing is set in stone yet.

It seems to me, in my amateur glory, that there are actually two seperate amped storms in this time frame, the second of which could be farther south and mainly a snow event.

Haters gonna hate

No, not this time I can feel it in my bones

Pretty good hit for Chicagoland on the 12z Euro. Please, whoever makes the storm thread, don't jinx it.

I find the CMC's return to the stormy side of things regarding the mid-week threat to be encouraging.

It seems that a multiple-piece (snow)storm is favored by a lot of models, which would be interesting to see.

The GEFS has some very interesting runs

I'm surprised at the lack of commentary on the 180-ish system shown on several models for a bit now

Rain or snow, there seems to be some consensus for a system around the 200 hour mark... Can't wait till this one gets nuked into near orbit in a couple days lol

The legend of the Snowstorm Gods states that there is a strict equilibrium to be held regarding snowfall. We here in Chicagoland watch as every event whiffs by us with only one eye; the other eye is trained on the extended, for there we shall find what we can only refer to as... The equalizer.

Euro looks cute for the D-7 threat

The CMC joins ICON in completely erasing this storm from existence

GFS just trended somewhat farther north again. Come on man, if it's gonna cave then at last let it be soon/gradual instead of abrupt.

GFS is now to the north

Curious to see what tonight's runs have to say about the ~160 hour threat. At a minimum, the ICON plays ball.

Hahaha. I can't tell if runs like this are why I hate this hobby or adore it.

Something is definitely in the process of getting sniffed out in the 240s

We're getting dangerously close to a viable solution...

That's a freakishly beautiful Thanksgiving storm on the GFS

The 12z Euro seems to be leading the way with the Monday/Tuesday threat.
