  1. Possible. I’d say it’s 50/50, whereas a few weeks ago I would have put it at 90/10. And if there are any more setbacks, even that is in serious jeopardy.
  2. I’m not asking for overnight. I’m talking about, say, summer of 2022. I thought that was a sure bet, but now I’m not so sure.
  3. Lived in AZ for a few years so been there, done that on the AZ/UT national parks. Without question, it’s worth the trip.
  4. The problem I have with that is the fact that I’m vaccinated and won’t be bringing these variants back with me.
  5. The difference between accumulating snow on April 10th vs. April 20th is, without exaggeration, massive. I believe @Hoosier said 1” or more on or after 4/20 has only happened 3 times in Toledo’s history.
  6. I’m beginning to think those of us that enjoy international travel won’t be able to do it for at least another few years.
  7. Certainly not saying I want to wake up at 1am for a tornado warning, ever again, but we’re honestly in danger of getting to the end of April without even a thunderstorm, unless I missed one somewhere along the line.
  8. I don’t see any way they break the 4.7” record since the snow should span over midnight, but I also don’t see any way they miss out on a calendar day snow of 1”+, and it seems very possible both today and tomorrow get added to that list.
  9. Depends on what you mean by “dangerous.” I would argue that having to be hospitalized, even if you don’t die, is a pretty significant danger. I would imagine being hospitalized significantly increases your chances of having permanent damage from this virus, which if we’re talking about kids is a tragedy.
  10. This executive order does not apply to private companies, though as I recall, AZ is one of a few states considering regulating that as well. Ironic that some people are adamantly against telling private businesses what to do unless it’s convenient for them.
  11. Also the people running the company I work for are pretty far to the right (I overheard them talking about stuff bordering on QAnon at least once a month before we switched to work from home), so I wouldn’t want them to happen upon me laying into some anti-vaxxer or anti-masker on Facebook while using my real name.
  12. Facebook is a ****ing cesspool and Twitter isn’t much better, though the wife doesn’t have a Twitter account so I can at least argue with people on there without getting judgment from her when it inevitably gets blasted into her newsfeed like it does on Facebook.
  13. Firms up the prevailing wisdom of a non-event outside of the BFE area of Ohio.
  14. It’s going to be an uphill climb when everyone knows a crazy Aunt Susan or their mom’s next door neighbor or their chiropractor’s secretary who won’t get vaccinated because of some gobbledygook they read on social media about microchips or something.
  15. Exactly. For a lot (maybe a majority, maybe not) of people with vaccine hesitancy, said hesitancy isn’t guided by anything resembling science.
  16. I firmly believe Jim Jordan’s goal there was simply to pick a fight. I say this because, in my opinion, even if Fauci gave him a technical answer, there’s no way he would have understood it.
  17. Why not? I’m sure someone will find a way to get this thread locked between now and then.
  18. I didn’t experience the 4/24/05 storm firsthand because I didn’t live in the affected area, but it might be the winner in my opinion when it comes to storms that occurred this late or later (besides MAYBE the May 27-29, 1947 WI/MN/IA snowstorm, but I can’t imagine there’s anyone on this forum that can attest firsthand to what happened during that storm).
  19. I don’t know the climatology for NW Ohio particularly well, but I would venture to guess that even 2-3” of slop in those areas in the 20s of April is incredibly rare. The 4/14/19 storm is indeed impressive, but every week you add in spring makes multi-inch snowfalls anywhere in this region exponentially more impressive. The difference between getting accumulating snow on 4/14 vs. 4/21 is simply not the same as the difference between getting accumulating snow on 2/14 vs. 2/21 or even 3/14 vs. 3/21.
  20. That’s definitely exaggeration. Sure, it’s more exciting when Chicago or Detroit or Pittsburgh gets the jackpot than when it’s in BFE places like Lima, OH, but 5+ inches anywhere non-mountainous in late April isn’t a non-event.
  21. What, you mean posting the Kuchera maps in January and the 10:1 maps in April isn’t the way to go?
  22. I guess we’ll let Ohio have another one. All they have going for them is college football and snowstorm jackpots.
  23. We know the easiest way to prevent this thing from continuing to potentially mutate into variants that are vaccine-resistant, if people would just do that.
  24. The question for the way upper Ohio Valley (NWS PBZ’s domain) would be, can the GFS be dismissed as total garbage? NWS PBZ seems to say yes based on their point and click.
