What I will say is that defense, as usual, seems to be the only real safe haven. For one, the government mandates that contractors maintain a certain staff level for national security purposes. But also, that industry's main customer is one that can print/borrow money and operate with a deficit infinitely. Aerospace is mixed. The military side is still humming along, but the commercial side (where the customers are Delta, Boeing, etc.) is getting decimated.

Auto Sales have already cratered to near Great Recession lows, and will no doubt be even lower by the end of April. Also, the ways things are going at Ford, they'll be in bankruptcy court by the Summer. They have a furniture CEO running the company who's completely out of his element, their stocks are now rated junk and they're begging for things such as another Cash for Clunkers. Ford's U.S. Sales Chief Wants a New "Cash for Clunkers" Initiative: Here's Why It Won't Help Ford’s Debt Was Cut to Junk. This Is Why the Stock Is Rising. GM and Chrysler are somewhat better because they got rid of much of their debt in bankruptcy and GM specifically has exited the world to fluff up its balance sheets. But with auto sales in both the US and China (GM's primary markets) being an unmitigated disaster, and the losses they were still recovering from after the plant shutdowns last fall, they're not far behind from being in Ford's position. And then there's the city of Detroit. They already have a $300 million dollar budget hole to backfill, and that's going to mean more cuts to the city's already bare bones services.

It's just too bad that they're going to take away hospital beds from thoughtful people when they inevitably catch the virus.

This one's a real doozy...

Gotta say, while I'm generally good with no snow, getting whiffed to the south by a 12"+ snowstorm (in GA of all places) would definitely piss me off.

Welp, username checks out...

Awful.

Just awful... We're practically into April, not mid-January!

I'm seeing Sleet. Temps aloft are too warm for snow.

It's still ended up pretty good, but not as good as the initial frames suggested. The QPF in the cold sector dropped off somewhat.

NAM started out good, then it crapped out as thing shifted out of AL.

Looks like all of the models are starting to narrow in on amounts between 2-3" here, which would be impressive if it happens.

You guys can blame and/or thank me for the snow. I brought it down with me from Detroit. You're welcome.

The only useful degrees in the future will be medical and business (finance-related) degrees. So basically, forget the art degrees everyone. Those degrees are useless. Just ask any 20-something Liberal Arts, Philosophy, English, Communications, etc. grduates working at McDonalds. And for those who are just starting college or plan on attending college, you should REALLY consider getting more than one degree. Not only will it be cheaper getting 2 at once than 2 seperately, but the competition between people with bachelor or even master degrees is getting too fierce for one to stand out with just one degree. Welcome to the new America!!!
