I can't wait until its gone. Ready to get back to running around the neighborhood.

More good news https://www.wsj.com/articles/nearly-half-of-u-s-population-65-and-older-has-received-a-first-covid-19-vaccine-dose-11614357767?redirect=amp#click=https://t.co/vMDjXvlGn6

Still 2' snow depth in Boston Hills this morning.

Quite the rainstorm here this morning.

Agreed. If you look at the data on hospitalizations it really is remarkable. I think 50% or more of 65+ are already vaccinated across the coutnry. We should dip below 50k hospitalizations this weekend. https://www.wsj.com/articles/nearly-half-of-u-s-population-65-and-older-has-received-a-first-covid-19-vaccine-dose-11614357767?redirect=amp#click=https://t.co/vMDjXvlGn6 https://covidtracking.com/

I have only seen a handful of people in the last year not wear a mask around here. It's pretty much a universal thing now.

Throughout history when viruses are studied, they mutate to become more contagious. However, in doing so they become less deadly. Along with vaccines this is likely the reason hospitalizations are in a free fall. Getting Covid is not a big deal if all you get is a little cold. Every single person posting here has had a coronavirus in their body before (common cold) Two colleagues at my work just got it and both said it wasn't that bad, not even a fever.

Beautiful sunset today

Beautiful sunset tonight. Went to the beach for it. Still ice as far as I could see.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson antibodies lasted for 11 months, they've been getting tested at UCLA monthly as one of the first famous people to get a confirmed Covid 19 case https://www.prevention.com/health/a34864421/tom-hanks-rita-wilson-covid-19-antibodies/

They are so cute. That cat looks just like my moms. I cannot get any cats as my wife is crazy allergic.

Buf hit 41 today with sunshine all day and light winds.

What pets do you have?

100%. I'd be shocked in Cuomo won New York next year.

Dogs>humans

I’ve had labs my entire life. They are the best dogs ever. Mine comes everywhere with me. He also loves snow. He is a black lab rescue mix.

I'm in love, I need another dog.

I need pictures!

Yeah it seems off of Erie the ratios are lower than off of Ontario recently. Maybe due to higher lake temps off of Erie or warmer air temps aloft? It seems most events at my location have been 1:15-1:20. Some really early season events are 1:10. the event last week was 1:22. Temps haven't been really cold for good ratios in awhile.

60 sunday/monday?

Is not the exposure to various bacteria and viruses throughout history helped our immune systems to improve and combat future illnesses?

You live in my favorite spot in the NE. I always look at your Nest cam and made me get one of my place too. It's so clear. As an avid hiker once I finish the Adirondack 46 those mountains behind your house are my next stop. My hiking buddy took some amazing video up there last year.

Upslope has less QPF in it then LES though. I saw a report on here last week of .19 QPF and 7.7" of snow that's incredible. LES is usually 1:15-1:25. It's been a terrible year for the tug hill, but they still have quite a bit up there.

There is also a 25+ year reporter whose name is also Carol in Perrysburg NY on the Chautuaqua ridgeline. She averages around 200-220" a year if you look at the Co Op Observer page. Lake Erie also gets those events, I received 88" of snow in 3 days in November of 2014. 65" in a 24 hour period. Just last week the Hills south of here got 46" of snow in a little over 24 hours off a 60% frozen lake, pretty crazy. I was actually on the weather channel for it. Micro-climates are fascinating. https://weather.com/storms/winter/video/how-a-small-ice-free-path-in-lake-erie-buried-parts-of-ny-in-snow?fbclid=IwAR2KkqaIv86EC142MpC2Y5hrfLGkSrEEofc236twmH7F7YucJHBgEarjlHQ
