When those “dead skeletons”, “brown dead looking grass”, and “monotone and dull landscape” are covered in beautiful white snow in the somewhat longer days of February, four of the five problems you mentioned are solved!

I sure as hell don’t think CNN is an objective source, but it’s no less objective than its primary competitors with opposing views. Along those lines, remember last March when the coronavirus was a scientific issue and not a political one? One individual, much more than anyone else, is responsible for it being so politicized, and it’s not CNN or Fox News or MSNBC or One America. You can look at a Facebook profile of someone on either side of the political aisle and there’s a solid chance you’ll see some sort of “stay home, save lives” sentiment that they posted last March before half of our country was told to think a different way about it. (I have some left-leaning opinions and some right-leaning opinions about other issues (most of which aren’t rooted in science), but this is specifically related to covid and I side with science on the issue of covid, which happens to line up closely with the left-wing position a lot better than it does with the right-wing position. That’s all I’m going to say on why I’m so harsh with the way I word things sometimes. I don’t view all right-wing positions as garbage, but their position on covid and the way it defies science irks me.)

https://apnews.com/article/pandemics-india-united-states-coronavirus-pandemic-asia-3b5adbaf2a94f95b31664efe83807e80 Here’s an article from one of the most objective sources in media about how serious the pandemic is in India. If you consider the Associated Press radical leftist stuff, I don’t know what to tell you.

So it’s the far-right New York Post using its own lack of credibility to make the public believe the pandemic in India is less severe than it actually is. That’s some next level stuff.

And 5x the number of people in 1/3 the area. Yeah, I absolutely believe it. This is incredibly awful.

I deleted the offending post, I’ll admit it was a bit of a low blow though directed at Ohio, not you specifically.

You could argue that wearing $2 gas station sunglasses is a crime too.

Elevation too? Accumulation on top of the big ball at Epcot?

That’s my biggest worry about traveling in the winter, and we often did before the pandemic because it was cheaper - not that my flight will be delayed because of inclement weather or anything like that - but that I’ll miss out on a big snowstorm back home.

The 12z GFS doesn’t quite bring@paweather’s May snow but it seems to continue a pattern that keeps hope alive.

Would that be the conservative New York Post sensationalizing about covid for clicks?

Well, except...

I keep meaning to have someone look at mine too, it probably shouldn’t go from 61 to 75 on a day with a low of 44 and a high of 81.

I’m choosing my battles here. If the models keep trending toward a cooler first half of May, I won’t even have to have this debate anytime soon. The other factor here is that she used to work at the dining room table, but sometime after last summer she moved her home office setup to the second floor, which gets incredibly hot in the summer, so that’s another win for me.

Yes. We actually had a discussion yesterday about how strict her “no a/c in May” rule is, and apparently it’s not as strict as I thought. Not sure it’s relevant or not, but she’s not a weather enthusiast in the least, probably couldn’t even give you a rough estimate of what the temperature will be tomorrow or whether or not there’s a chance of rain. (But if the rule is no a/c in May, does that mean there’s a loophole for turning it on in April?)

That’s an impressive trough. Lock it in!

I firmly believe this is nearly impossible for any weather enthusiast.

I’m 100% in the same situation. In any event, dews are expected to surge past 60 tomorrow, so that’s another consideration to make turning on the a/c in April a little more palatable.

It’s amazing how fast that happens, no matter how cold you keep it to start, isn’t it?

Marginal risk for D2 and D3. I’m not expecting any big storms but at this point any thunderstorm is a good thunderstorm. Wed. AM update: slight risk. Also, our low as of 8am is 67. We’ll see if we drop below that before midnight, but the warmest low ever recorded in April in the KPIT era is 65. Edit: low on 4/28 was 66 at 11:59pm. First April day in the KPIT era that has failed to drop to 65 or lower.

So much I could say here, and I had a response typed up about people caring about certain things when it’s convenient for them, but I seem to recall that being a big component of the War of 4/13.

But Wyoming, Idaho, and West Virginia, which are almost entirely white, are also on that list. The commonality isn’t entirely racial demographics.

Unreal. I know it’s a private school, but surely since children’s lives are at stake, there has to be some way to shut it down. If I worked there, not sure if I’d just get the vaccine and not tell them or go ahead and tell them and let them fire me and collect unemployment off of them.

I would argue that there’s both.

For a fringe group that is largely dismissed by the vast majority of society (and whose positions mostly aren’t based in fact), the anti-vax movement sure seems to be able to control the narrative when they want to. I imagine people with little to no medical knowledge are scouring these databases of side effects that may or may not have been vaccine-related and pressuring officials to investigate. It’s ridiculous.
