anticipating another overperformer....but you can keep the tree snapping 6-8" amounts south of here.

it sounds like fun. But an 8-10" heavy wet snow in the spring is a tree crusher. No fun, after the fact.

this looks like decent news. can't vouch for the validity, but it is a New York news site: Spectrum News NY1 @NY1 · 58m Cuomo says New York will be sending 100 ventilators to Michigan and 50 to Maryland.

I'm more focused on where the band sets up.

Alek's pumped.

Guess my grass won't get cut today. Lower 60's in the grids for next Tuesday.

and there was another event after that.

Rumor has it this has not gone away yet.

^ Every loss of life is heartbreaking. My condolences also. To further clarify here is the CDC's January 31 release he is referring too:,, Secretary Azar Declares Public Health Emergency for United States for 2019 Novel Coronavirus Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the entire United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to 2019 novel coronavirus. “While this virus poses a serious public health threat, the risk to the American public remains low at this time, and we are working to keep this risk low,” Secretary Azar said. “We are committed to protecting the health and safety of all Americans, and this public health emergency declaration is the latest in the series of steps the Trump Administration has taken to protect our country.” The emergency declaration gives state, tribal, and local health departments more flexibility to request that HHS authorize them to temporarily reassign state, local, and tribal personnel to respond to 2019-nCoV if their salaries normally are funded in whole or in part by Public Health Service Act programs. These personnel could assist with public health information campaigns and other response activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working closely with state health departments on disease surveillance, contact tracing, and providing interim guidance for clinicians on identifying and treating coronavirus infections. HHS is working with the Department of State to assist in bringing home Americans who had been living in affected areas of mainland China. HHS divisions also are collaborating with industry to identify and move forward with development of potential diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics to detect, prevent, and treat 2019-nCoV infections. In declaring the public health emergency, Secretary Azar acted within his authority under the Public Health Service Act. This declaration is retroactive to January 27, 2020.

low 60's in your zones for next weekend.

yeah, I'm smelling something. Which is a good thing these days.

it's coming.

I like where i sit.

Today's Lesson, and perhaps the next week or so:“April is the cruelest month, breeding. lilacs out of the dead land, mixing. memory and desire, stirring. dull roots with spring rain.”

when does it fade southeast and weaker?

A Heavy Wet snow in mid April is now common. If it can dump on Halloween, mid April is a given.

we better enjoy it.

I'll give it another day before I start the thread.

blizzard? were due.

temps? Nice. Going to mulch the yard.

This thread has gotten a bit to dark. I'll pop back in around the 15th of April to check in on the stats.

Damn... I thought this would at least get a weenie from Alek. Back to watching Ozark.

I was referring more to the fact it's being politicized. I have no doubt there is a lot that goes into it on a professional level.
