Chambana

Finally off work, clocked out today with 44 hours already lol. Very thankful for a day off tomorrow, I am so wiped out, just grabbed me a dominos pizza on the way home, cooking was the last thing I wanted to do.

Whats going on in Italy is truly horrifying, and even under constant quarantine, cases spreading like wildfire. Be kind, check on your neighbor, and stay positive everyone!

As for now, I am heading to bed, really looking forward to this 8-10 hours of sleep. 

Appreciate everyone kind words during this hard time, especially during our line of work. Not one to fish for sympathy, but after being treated like crap throughout the past week, it’s imperative to get some positive feedback. To anyone worried about any food shortage, I promise you We are working around the clock to make sure food is going straight from warehouse to your home. 

Just pulled another 16 hour shift.already at 31 hours for the week. 

Our whole warehouse is exhausted, we are completely exhausted, we are working around the clock to make sure product is getting shipped. I’m on OT and lots of it making $33 an hour. Be kind to the people making sure your shelves are stocked, it’s crazy guys. I just pulled another 16 hour shift. 

Confirmed corona in Champaign now, Carle hospital awaiting testing of additional 50 patients right now.

I'm no doctor but to me, all other things being equal, it makes sense that warm weather would help slow it down to some extent.  Factors arguing the other way are that this is a novel virus that is very contagious, so perhaps the dropoff rate in warm weather won't be as large as we see with other viruses.  How far we are willing to go with mitigation in the coming weeks could also play a role.

Joe Rogan has a podcast where he has a medical expert on as a guest.. he said the thought that this virus just goes away with the season change is absolutely false. 

 I work for a warehouse that supplies groceries to surrounding stores, we are heading into mandatory 16 hour shifts right now. 
 

J.B. pritzker ordered all schools closed through the end of the month. My grandmother is 85 and confirmed she’s never seen the world in this panic.

Caught something nasty.  Fever, chills, cough, etc.  Really came on like gangbusters on Monday with no real let up yet.  Officially diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection... I'd almost rather take my chances with coronavirus.

Same thing started for me Sunday evening. 103 fever, body aches, congested, nausea, chills. Finally ditched the fever yesterday. Had to burn 3 sick days  this week.

Winter storm warning issued for a potent, quick hitting storm today and tonight.  A foot of heavy wet snow is forecast here in the higher terrain along Superior, along with 40 mph winds later this evening.  Should be a nice little event.

12” and 40mph winds, “nice little event” nice flex bo!

Dude, you seem pretty smart, but man you are weird.  

We’re all weird to have a hobby like this  

Just had a flash of lightning here. Also woke up with the flu at midnight, man I hate this crap. The spring itch is in full force, and so is the desire for that first severe thunderstorm warning. 

Just tagged 60 here. With the CPC outlook forecasting above normal temps, I put in for a vacation next week. Going to take advantage of some early spring weather. 

55 in my forecast today, and by Thursday 60 and sunny. A1 burgers going on the grill tonight. Happy met spring everyone.

From PAH

Evansville and Paducah will finish the 2019-2020 winter season (Dec-Feb) with no measurable snow. First time on record for Evansville this has occurred. Tied least snowy winter for Paducah, last set in 1991-1992.

Insane. Really puts into perspective just how mild of a winter this really was. My dad who lives 45 minutes SE of Champaign recorded 11.3” on the season. This winter really was 2011-2012 all over again. 

Maintaining any kind of snowpack this winter has been nearly impossible. My longest snowcover this winter was 5 days. The 1.7” that fell yesterday is all but nuked from the late February sun. 

I’m ready for longer days, more sun, warmer weather, boomers, and grilling. Just 10 more days and the days get longer. Hallelujah!

That being said, looks like I’m going to string together some 50’s to open the month. Bring it on!

Finished with 1.7” here, snow never really stuck to the pavement. We are now at 15.7” on the season and have done so with literally 1-2” snowfalls. 

Good luck on the move. South Carolina is a beautiful state. In fact my family and I almost relocated there back in 2006-2007.

Yeah here as well.  Two weeks from today it will be met spring.  I'm ready for some thunder.

Yep same here. I would be fine being done with snow for the rest of the season, wouldn’t want to stat pad what has been a miserable winter for most. 

Mid February sun doing work. Only 32 outside, but melting is occurring. 

Just went for a cruise in rural Champaign. The N-S are roads are becoming drifted with blowing snow very quickly. Winds gusting over 30MPH as the arctic air moves in. 

3.1” here in Champaign. Very picturesque snowfall, it’s beautiful outside.

Finished with 3.3".

Dang you still did good. You’ve had the hot hand for quite sometime. 

I guess it’s time for me to become emotionally invested in this storm. Please don’t break my heart on the eve of Valentine’s Day.
 

I’ll roll with the trend 1/2” here or bust.
