    Feb 3rd - 5th Potential strong stm threat

    Posted

    NWS Indy is eluding to it in the afternoon AFD. 

    The primary focus for the extended will be on the potential for a
high impact winter storm over parts of central Indiana this weekend.
In addition as has been expected since the Fall...this appears to be
the opening salvo to the transition to a much more active weather
pattern that may set the stage for the second half of the winter. An
additional higher impact storm already appears on the horizon near
the end of the forecast period later next week.

    It is eleven degrees this morning and just a day away from a solid snow storm to my north.  The cut-off will be sharp and I'll be whiffed again.  So many misses both north and south over recent years.  My last 6" snowfall was Jan 12/13, 2019.  Since then we had the over performer on December 16th this season for 4.2" but zero other 4+ inch snowfalls.  

    March 25, 2013 was the last time I saw double digits.  You can guess that it didn't last long.  There have been just 11 events with 4 or more inches since the beginning of the  2012-2013 season.  

    A bit further back was the sleet fest of GHD where models show Kokomo getting buried only to get 6 inches or so of sleet.  FML

    Kokomo is due.  I'm due.  

    Looking at something coming up mid week and seeing I'll be riding the south gradient but will likely see mostly mixed at best is heartbreaking.  

    I'm so tired of the complete turds I've been getting.  I am ready to say screw it and wish for a torch that would make March 2012 seem like a cold shower.  Bring it on the heat baby.

    I’ve worn one since March and plan to until vaccinated.

    I've worn my mask indoors and been out and about and have been dining inside at least once or twice per week.  I'm also in K-12 education around several thousand of student and staff. We have been in school since August when the school year began.  I also vacationed out of state in the fall.  

    I think my secret to not getting sick at all throughout has been good hygiene, some social distancing mask wearing, and a regiment of vitamins taken twice daily.  

    Elderberry Gummies - 260mg Sambucus, Vitamin C and Zinc
    D3 - 50 mcg
    C - 1000 mg
    B12 1000 mcg
    Nature Made Men's Multivitamin + Omega-3 Gummies
    Benadryl Alergy

    I did direct work with three people who have large families and play sports who did catch the virus and exhibit symptoms so I'm doing something right.  

    I'm hoping for a vaccine for school staff come soon.  I'm just a few months away from the age 60 cut off in Indiana.

    we're having the same issues with the vaccine rollout that we had with testing.  federalism doesn't work for crisis management.  

    The federal government does a terrible job pretty much.  It doesn't matter which party is in charge as has been proven time and time again.

    Yeah. Last year me and my dad were hit with a terrible cough and had bronchitis. Both missed 4 days of work and both my boss and a coworker got it as well and missed time. 

    I caught something mid December last year which knock me down harder than I had experienced in the past.  I was off work for an entire week and then spent most of the two weeks over winter break down.  (I work at a school.)  I had a cough that last into summer and couldn't be diagnosed.  Several rounds of antibiotics and steroids and it finally went away on it's own.  I still think it was COVID.  I did several winter commencements at colleges and was interacting with both students in close contacts and their families from all over the world the days before catching whatever I had.

    I've heard a lot of talk about massive storm potential this winter. I can say this...I will be SHOCKED if the Midwest doesn't have a huge storm this winter. No bets on who the haves and have nots will be though.

    I'm sure I've been put on the naughty list and am a have-not.
