I've known some people that have had it. My sister had a mild case, like a real bad cold. My team member who is a fairly in shape and a skinny guy in his early 40s had to be hospitalized for breathing and dehydration issues. He went by ambulance, mom had to call 911. He was the type to blow it off too. It's amazing how it just has no rhyme or reason to how it hits people it seems.
It's a solid week early it seems. Maybe more. I did compare it to other areas even further south that radiate better and those weren't as far along. Warmer nights help.
I'm seeing Forsythia and Magnolia about to pop. I can't recall it this early other than 2012. All my plants are coming up. Done with winter around here. We grow.
I love your attitude. It's concerning to see and we also have bouts of precip shown on the mean. So I interpret it as overall meh. No it doesn't mean shit wx all the time....but that is the opposite of what we had in March.
Makes it more of a kick in the nads when you sort of regress as you get into warmer months. But, it made March go by much quicker. March is one of those months that can be miserable AF if the wx stinks.
Ha, back in the day up in Bingham, ME I had that experience. Two 19 yr olds with backwards RedSox hats walk in to grab something to eat, and we got "the stare down." They definitely know when you aren't from around there.
