What a wonderful stretch of weather! Got a solid sun tan out by the pool today. Let’s hope we send the cold air packing and get severe weather season rolling

Deborah Birx’s interview on Face the Nation was very illuminating. She said she knew this would be hell because from her experience in Africa, “Pandemics are always political”. Highly recommend watching this on YouTube.

Interesting to see this as my Grandmother who was a museum curator for decades had a comment on this with the exact opposite thoughts. When the pandemic faded 100 years ago almost overnight people quit wearing masks. When the Civil War ended many photos were destroyed as people simply wanted to forget what happened and get back to normal (this is what made her job quite difficult in finding these documents/slides). The general public has an amazing ability to forget tragedy, and I'd expect this will be the same. Even now we cheer the fact that new hospitalizations is only at 52,000 a day, still a stunning number. Even with masks, I'd say it was not until July that it became completely prevalent throughout the United States. I remember going to the grocery store in May last year and receiving comments for wearing one in line with maybe only 30% of customers actually wearing one. I'm interested to see what happens with all this going forward. From a societal perspective I'd say this is easily the most turbulent time since 2001-2002

I miss sports so much. I’ll wear a Hazmat suit if I have to

What a gorgeous day! 71° and sunny currently at home

I’m anti snow sir lol

Found dandelions today! From the looks of it, Spring is finally starting after weeks of cold rain

Meanwhile I have dandelions in my yard. Amazing stretch of winter weather for the entire Midwest, parts of the South and Great Lakes region

Yeah I was going to say I’ve got photos where we had to dig out the mailbox that winter

Yay! 870 cases, 5% positive. Love to see it

Man how awesome would it be if 12” fully materializes for Toledo on Tuesday morning. For those big winters in the middle part of the last decade I’d regularly snowshoe through the woods and local parks after these storms. Definitely something you miss in a tropical climate

Especially with wind off the lake

I like 6-9" for the Toledo area. Do have a little worry with as cold and dry as it will be that this eats into the QPF a bit.

If I’m not mistaken it’s not going to even get into the 20s for Toledo during this entire event. Should help with the ratios quite a bit. Blowing and drifting is going to be insane this week

Or they could be one of the worst forecast offices in the country. Even Toledo TV mets frequently take shots at them and the "I-75 wall"

It'd be nice to see some sunshine here in Charleston. Feel like I'm back in the Great Lakes

Why is Joseph Goebbels being discussed on a weather forum lol

I have not. Last hike I had was in October I believe. Quite a few snowstorms though just outside of the Piedmont, I'd say elevations from Hickory on up have faired quite well. I was in Charlotte during a sleet storm two weekends ago (it quickly melted).

Man what a pattern for this region. Break out the snowmobiles & hockey skates, good shot that 20 degrees is not achieved in Toledo for the next week.

Well my boss caught it before Christmas and a few others did as well in the Fall so they’re immune at the moment. Big concern is some projects have completely fallen apart & they’ve caught people nationally who are working half days and collecting a check.

Welp after nearly a year entirely working from home, I've been instructed to begin returning to the office starting next Tuesday. Will be weird to actually be in dress pants daily, but feels somewhat normal I suppose. Also will have to start traveling (not by plane) as well

Crazy that nothing was issued. 3-5” across Toledo seems to be the consensus. With not even an advisory...

I’m hearing 5” in Bowling Green? Insane storm

I think compaction, sleet mixing in, low snow ratios & this thing losing its moisture transport slowly as it drifts into a storm off the Seaboard hurts the totals a little bit compared to models. Interesting storm but these ratios are not ideal for anything over 10" as we've seen in the past For NW Ohio 3-5" east of 75, 4-8" west of it. 4-8" for all of Northern IN 6-10" for Northern IL

That's what I'm thinking could impact accums a bit as well. Getting that thick cement snowfall is going to lead to compaction for sure.
