Where at? I heard it was getting an upgrade, what site CoD doesn't go out that far.

GFS says okay go time

Yeah it is more rural here especially as you go south or west, even northwest.

There is no reason why they should be open now if they weren't in July. It is just political posturing at this point.

If we are around 750 a day from here on it will be 75k added, that being said we are going into cold/flu season so maybe the modeling is factoring in a spike. It isn't completely out of the realm especially if schools remain open and in person.

This is that cross point like early in the summer where numbers went down so people wanted everything opened and then numbers skyrocketed back up when some things opened up. Caution still needs to be used, while slowly opening the remaining things up.

Almost as if we saw this coming but still stood on the traintracks

I am very pleasantly surprised about the mask usage in the UP. I would put it at 99% indoors and about 75% outdoors. And those who aren't wearing outside are definitely social distancing. Also nearly everything here is open except those places that have closed for the season.

East based -NAO are good for the Great Lakes. West based can be good if it is weak, if it is stronger than -1 that favors the east coast more.

At Lake of The Clouds looking down the valley this afternoon. It was very thick then.

It is incredible up here in the UP. It is so thick that the entire sky was milky white and the sun was very filtered.

Yeah center that west about 300-500 miles and then we are talking

Yep which is just proving that we can't become complacent especially going into winter.

I saw the 86mph fastball right down the middle, had to hit that grand slam. And sure they can get stuff but the more moderate the nina gets the less chances they have.

That was a second year Nina, a bit different.

Hyperbole much? How about this, you worry about the lack of action in SC and let us who live up here worry about Michigan and what is happening here.

No, it is proving deadly to about 1000 people a day and with no known vaccine that number will continue because people are choosing their liberties over safety.

Warm Tongue of Death will be a common theme in Ohio this year. As for the region as a whole, I expect above normal temps/precip/snow especially north of 80.

Can't wait to be up there in a few days

Which is fine, it is not perfect but a place where there is a lot of heavy breathing and close contact you kind of want that mask on.

This clarifies the misnomers above https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/michigan/2020/09/10/whitmer-clarifies-order-masks-not-required-for-all-sports-in-michigan/

It is not all sports that are mandated only the ones with close contact. To be honest those sports shouldn't even be played at a state level right now. There is way too much risk for kids to pass on the virus that can't be controlled or checked like at a professional level. And there are very few things restricted right now. Gyms opened up this week but people have to wear a mask, anyone complaining at this point is only complaining because they have to wear a mask for certain things. Mind you there are plenty of outdoor activities where you don't need to wear a mask at all.

Sounds like the best winter ever in my books. I love action and that is consistent action to say the least.

We all are.

00z gfs even crazier for Denver and Western KS. Goodland goes from 103 to snow in less than 48 hours.
