Kind of exciting to have a bunch of new posters in different parts of the state this year. Good luck eastern NY guys.

Everyone was wearing a mask in line but no one was 6 feet apart. This article explains how wearing a mask inside does limit spread, but it will still infect at least a few in an environment of long term close contact inside. https://english.elpais.com/society/2020-10-28/a-room-a-bar-and-a-class-how-the-coronavirus-is-spread-through-the-air.html

The large gatherings are already taking place. The polling place I went to at Town Hall had hundreds of people in line through small corridors all tightly packed together. Far more people are congregated together in voting right now then will be at thanksgiving. Everyone in line was talking about how many Covid violations are being made the entire 30 minute wait to vote.

My good friends best friend committed suicide 3 days ago. 3 kids and a wife, no warning signs. This pandemic is definitely affecting people.

Yes. Just never washes his hands, like ever...He's a slob. Also a plumber.

He said the main therapeutic they are using is Remdesevir. It lowers the number of days in the hospital by approximately 50%.

It's been raining down here ever since I got back, just miserable weather.

My friend in California works on covid floor stated that it is only being used in Beverly Hills west hollywood hospital, but if you're wealthy enough you can probably get your hands on it. Their hospital is too poor for it. But looks like its only available in a hospital setting at this moment.

My dad is the most unhygienic person on the planet and I've never seen him sick.

That's a nice lake enhanced event in NW Penn.

Treatment at the beginning of the pandemic was terrible, deaths are declining while cases increase. The virus is not nearly as deadly as once thought. Regeneron helps reduce viral load in patients. https://www.biospace.com/article/covid-19-by-the-numbers-mortality-rates-in-u-s-decrease-despite-uptick-in-cases/ https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/regeneron-says-its-covid-19-antibody-treatment-cut-medical-visits-n1245197 The most recent data (from the week ending October 10) showed excess deaths only 0 and 2.9 percent higher than historic data. A look at the data shows that excess deaths peaked the week ending April 11, with 35.6% to 40.6% more deaths than usual, then began a downward trajectory through June 20, when the incidence of COVID-19 rose in Sunbelt states after declining in the North and Northeast.

I'm keeping my windows open all winter.

The average snow depth varies between 3-7 feet up there in mid winter. This picture is 3-5 feet in 2017. When I went earlier this year it was around 3-4 feet.

I voted yesterday. Line took 30 minutes to get through, extremely busy polls. I've never seen them like they were yesterday. Voting numbers are going to be setting records.

Looks like they're not overturning previous decision even with Barrett in place. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/28/politics/supreme-court-pennsylvania-mail-in-deadline-barrett/index.html

Yeah hiking up there in winter was amazing. Last year was my first winter hike. Looking forward to doing a couple this year. Here is a picture from Algonquin/Iroqouis. I did this loop in summer, was brutal.

Whiteface. It's the only mountain with buildings at the top.

Daylight savings time this weekend. Models out 1 hour early. Its officially tracking season.

Full winter up in the peaks already. Snow up there doesn't really melt once it sticks

Doesn't he need Wisconsin and Michigan to win electoral even with FL and PA?

I've had many "liberal" friends move to Texas the last few years. Dallas, Austin, Houston are transitioning into young towns. I see Texas as the next state to primarily vote blue. It will take some time, but in the next 10-20 years I see a gradual transition.

With Barrett now on the Supreme court they're going after mail in ballots hard the next week in Pennsylvania. Going to be an interesting next few days.

Biden is up 10% in the polls in Wisconsin and Michigan. Trump cannot win if Biden gets those 2 states.

Thoughts on who wins and margin of victory on Tuesday? I'm saying Biden wins electoral vote by 1-2 states (Michigan/Pennsylvania/Wisconsin) and popular vote by 10 million.
