Area in slight risk with 2% tornado chances, 15% hail

Looks like covid is mutating weaker in some strains across the world. https://www.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-losing-potency-top-italian-184358113.html

Mid week we transition to full time summer!

The main reason I don't want it too cold in winter is the lake freezes up quicker. I want to maximize lake eries potential.

I've been here and its beautiful. Pretty close to you guys.

The posters you find on weather forums are the majority of the time going to be ones that like the cold. People that like the heat and sun don't post here, or if they do its rare. I'm similar to a few posters on here that enjoy seasons in seasons. Hot and humid in summer and snowy and relatively cold in winter. There are definitely lakes near you though, they're not a luxury they are everywhere in upstate NY. You have the finger lakes, lake ontario, and several other lakes in and around syracuse, or just hop into a friends pool.

Yeah things won't be normal for a long time. Most likely summer of 2021.

Brazil with 4500 more cases then the USA in the last 24 hours with 120 million less people.

Looks like most colleges and most likely schools will start back up in late August/early September for most of the country. Things will finally get back to normal.

If everything goes smoothly we will be at stage 4 by June 30th.

Stage 2 starts tomorrow for most of NY. Stage 2 for Upstate is June 2nd. My Barber is already booked for 2 weeks. Are gyms stage 2 or stage 4? https://www.syracuse.com/coronavirus/2020/05/ny-releases-guidelines-for-offices-retail-shops-real-estate-and-other-phase-2-businesses.html

Same with Brazil. 1k+ deaths a day. They are also entering their winter down there. Bad combination.

Decent storm just moved through

At 1232 PM EDT, a strong thunderstorms were located over Eden, or near Hamburg, and the nearshore waters of Lake Erie in the vicinity moving northeast at 35 mph.

Models don't look too inspiring.

Almost everyone at one Michigan prison tests positive for COVID-19 antibodies https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/05/28/coronavirus-antibodies-michigan-parnall-correctional-facility/5270127002/

A few pics from the Adirondacks on Monday.

A few pics from the Adirondacks on Monday.

I went hiking in the Adirondack high peaks on Monday and there was feet of snow still up there. I didn't think I would still need my microspikes. Made it quite difficult to get to the top. It was similar to mansfield with sporadic spots of feet and others with bare ground. Guess it depends on where the sun hit. Here is my dog up there.

I don't have a cover, but my pool is in the sun all day. It was 80 the last 2 days. I plan to get one though, just a hassle to take on and off.

Same here. People that don't have pools or don't enjoy the beach like a cool summer. A summer isn't a summer without a beach/lake/pool. What do you guys do all summer?
