Consensus seems very strong that ground impacts will dominate here. I’m iffy on that however, so many times with such short days it seems as though it only takes a few minutes to begin accumulation. One forecast I saw mentioned that NE winds off the Lake could hurt snow chances in that band

Wow things are really about to start amping up here aren't they? Euro shows potential winter shot for the Great Lakes this weekend & then severe weather in the South on Wednesday-Thanksgiving

Who’s to determine what an “essential” job is? Haha this is what gets me, are we to tell a bartender they are not essential in our world? A barber? A hotelier? The more these governments push, the easier they make it for large corporations to dominate. I may be banking my best bonus this year yet personally while working from home. Why? Because small businesses are aggressively offering lower prices to not take a massive loss

I feel as though as the resident Supply Chain Analyst on here I'll chime in about it's distribution. So will it be difficult, absolutely! But supply chain is in general. To keep tabs on the entire life of the development of a product and rid of inefficiencies is never easy, that's why it pays so well relatively (median salary of $85K, $60-70K out of college). Where these companies are in a good spot to pull this off is that they have 1. Almost no government constraints & 2. An unlimited checkbook with a massive profit windfall. Truthfully government regulations bog things down more than anything, so anyone who is getting 100% assistance from the government is in a great spot. Secondly, these companies can throw gobs of money at it, budgetary constraints are the other thing that can be quite an obstacle. I think we can expect hiccups at the beginning (implementation is always the hardest part of any new venture) but those kinks will be figured out relatively quick. I'd imagine by Spring we're cooking pretty good with delivery. Honestly the biggest issue I see is Americans lack of preventative care. As a country it shocks me how few people have a family doctor. So getting on that list for your shot is going to be very difficult when you have no PCP.

Got a kick out of this

I give you credit. One of my buddies in Ann Arbor was telling me he supports the closure of bars but goes to Grizzly Peak twice a week. Haha it’s like people like him who frequent these establishments are helping spread it

Yet so many on this board are about the closings. I’d venture to say many of the same people advocating this have been to bars and restaurants multiple times

Damn they're really rushing the grocery stores up north?

I personally hope we eventually have a shelter in place nationally soon. As an educated adult I do not have the ability to personally make decisions about my health and hope the government makes it for me

Why can’t you have thanksgiving with say 5-6? Did you see his posts. I’m worried he’s going to become an agoraphobe at this rate

Dude wear a mask and socially distance, you’ll be okay. Holy smokes you sound legitimately terrified to even leave your house at this point

Haha so which government programs should we take away to pay people for awhile. As someone in my 20s I’m part of the generation who will have to deal with this crushing federal debt for much longer. Do we have to sacrifice social security until 75 because of this? Pull all road repairs for the next year nationally? Considerably raise taxes? I’m absolutely tired of reading statements from the Treasury, media and politicians about how more stimulus is needed. Of course it’s a solution, but what are the repercussions of doing so? No one is really discussing this

Oh absolutely! Clear as day you can see night time launches

Well some of its politics. I frequently have been critical of Gov. Whitmer as well though as Michigan’s policies in my opinion are extreme. I know some will disagree and that’s okay, but it shouldn’t actually be a misdemeanor for someone with a computer based job to have to work from home. And back in the spring they set up checkpoints with Northern towns so people wouldn’t quarantine at their cottages. Now apparently if you go out to eat you have to give them your name and phone number? Have any Michiganders encountered this consistently?

Thought some of you would enjoy this. Clear night on the ocean so I snapped pics of the space shuttle launch

60-80 mph gusts with that line today that steamed through Northern Ohio. Pictures from my dads house today. He said his Kestrel hit 71. Also photos from Oregon Ohio after the storm, water levels dropped significantly in the Western Basin today.

This isn’t true. Mike Dewine is a Republican governor and taken quite a bit of grief in Ohio. Hell some far right state reps tried to have him impeached lol. Biggest issue with a lot of this here is Americans are far and away the most skeptical populace in the Western world of their government. So things like this that require a National response and government actions are going to get heavy scrutiny because by and large we hate government. I think people forget we became a country because the British raised our taxes haha like that was the spark that ignited this thing. Fast forward 250 years and is it any shock we are still like this?

Well how much longer can we continue to put out “fires” if you will. I know it’s a major point of contention but I have a very difficult time accepting that states can mandate what businesses are allowed to be open. Closing retail stores for the Holidays would be disastrous.

Im going to try and watch it out at Folly

That’s awesome! 10-15’ off Pelee would be something to see

La Nina's almost always lead to great Toledo winters, and prolific early spring flooding. I'd say the sweet spot for Toledo is a 50" winter. Perfect amount of consistent snow cover to allow for ample winter sports, yet at the same time isn't overwhelming. The 86" that fell in 2013-14 was too much. I loved snow but wow was it nearly impossible to get around rural communities that winter.

If you recall as well it was a very warm early Fall and then dropped off the table. The first week of October featured temps around 90

I remember this VIVIDLY. Was in Chicago for the week for work meetings. My beard was absolutely frozen walking around and the lake effect squalls in Indiana made the drive suck. I think Chicago got down to 4° at one point

This is where a lack of rapid testing kills us. IMO there should be ZERO restrictions at this point. Should have testing available before entering stores, restaurants, bars, concerts, games. I know on my iPhone there’s an “Exposure Notification”. Not sure where this is even an option to be honest. It feels so arcane that we have to wear a fricking piece of cloth because we can’t technologically do this right.

Interesting read on ESPN.com http:// https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30308543/golden-state-warriors-submit-plan-home-game-testing-allow-50-percent-fan-capacity The owner of the Warriors has a Masters in Public Health which is how he came up with this plan. It’s going to be interesting to see if this rapid testing can truly come to fruition and how much life will change once it does. It’s clear that financially these entertainment avenues are getting crushed over this. A lot of money in not only the operation of teams and holding concerts, but the construction as well. I mean heck Little Caesars Arena was almost a billion dollar build
