Looks like this winter will feature a weak La Nina. This usually features snowy Decembers. Besides 2013-2015 winters, 2000-01 might have been my favorite winter

Yeah some pretty good storms moved through. Heavy rain, quite a bit of close lightning, and decent winds. Severe Tstorm warning went up for them. Had to be 1-2" of rain. Really mad I missed the waterspouts. Dunkirks a good distance from here. Can't wait for waterspout season in September.
I guess we will see if there on any side effects to a vaccine pretty quickly. Leave it to Russia to bypass all medical research standards and go right into vaccinating everyone.

A friend of mine got it pretty bad in March for 2 weeks and just completed one of the hardest hikes in the northeast with no effects to his lungs. Some good news for the day.
I believe NY is at 50% capacity as of 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure if we will see the full effects for a little bit of that. Gyms, movie theatres, concerts, and sporting events are still not happening. Everything else is going and bars and restaurants are packed outside. The real test is when the temperatures start cooling down in 1-2 months. I think we have a tough time here in winter if kids go back to school especially.
Everything has been opened for awhile here in New York. Indoor dining has been open with no spikes. I think it has to do with mask wearing here. It's extemely rare to see someone not use one. I went to a restaurant yesterday and it was so organized. 6 feet apart to order, everyone wearing a mask inside and outside. Even going for a walk along the water people were conscious to stay 6 feet apart walking by.
My bad, didn't see. I deleted it. It would explain quite a bit in how places are nearly fully open in hard hit states for 2 months without an increase in cases. One could conclude that it is making its way across the country.
Don't get too excited. Last year I was swimming in Mid October with high 80s.
I don't really complain about any type of weather. I really do enjoy all 4 seasons. If I had to pick my least favorite it would be spring.
Don't think it was posted but over 7" of rain in those storms 2 day ago.

I think what he meant was that only around 20% of people actually got furloughed/laid off and collected Unemployment. The rest of us continued to work and not much has changed as of yet. We have actually received more money with the $1200 checks. Many people including me had designated funds set aside for vacations. Mine were New Zealand/Norway this year. I am using that money to make home improvements instead. Many others are likely doing the same.
