Good post. 7x deadlier than the flu is pretty wild, but with how fast it goes to pneumonia it doesn’t shock me. They’ve really gotta get the vaccines going now. As I’ve posted before, herd immunity is the only way to actually beat an epidemic which has happened throughout human history. With the virus constantly mutating and this new more contagious strain, it’s obvious we have to stomp this out as quickly as possible. I’m glad to see Pres-Elect Biden showing more urgency than the current admin, hope it happens when he actually takes office

It’s 80° and partly sunny at my house right now and I am spending the holidays with freezing rain haha awesome

Some serious freezing rain at the moment in Toledo. Unsure about the roads but heavy icing on trees, driveways and cars right now

One of the best Deadliest Catch episodes ever. The wind and waves were unbelievable, one guys anchor completely was shredded

Bureaucracies in general do not. Anyone who has worked for a major corporation knows that nothing can get done quickly

I believe we had 2.5”. Blowing and drifting did not help, but ground and grass more than covered

Absolutely pouring snow in Toledo. Living in Charleston I forgot how fun winter can be. Can’t believe a WWA never went up, roads are garbage and it’s easily 1” an hour rates here

The fast flow comments are interesting and make sense. I go back to the Winter of 2013-14, it was 86” in Toledo of just constant bombardment. Only one big dog on Super Bowl Sunday, but just constant 4-8” storms.

How would that happen? Look at the pure fear on this thread. Let’s be honest I doubt many of you would feel comfortable attending sporting events or going to a bar even after you get the vaccine until this thing is gone.

I don’t really understand it either. Snowstorms are cool, but overall winter is not. 60° is way better believe me

Is Frankenmuth open or has covid closed that? I fly in early Monday and did not know if that was open for shopping and food. Always made an annual trip as a family

The rare NW Ohio lake effect in place

Because many people were taking vacation and not at work. As I’ve said before, the worst spread is happening at manufacturing facilities and warehouses. It’s what’s helped our company quite a bit, people using up vacation time has stopped a lot of employees from catching it

And that’s probably best. With the amount of flat, open space and location away from the ocean that helps cold air stay longer, massive storms would shut down stuff for a week.

I don’t blame them in the slightest. Unless the government is going to fully subsidize their revenues to be closed they should exercise civil disobedience. Honestly as a weather forum we have seen so many major natural disasters that have been helped by govt assistance. With what is basically a contagious pneumonia you’d think we would treat this as a disaster and not let bars, restaurants and gyms that are not publicly traded to get full subsidies to allow for quicker recovery. Seems much better than just writing everyone checks.

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.

Good news! Came in close contact with a friend that had covid and got tested. I do not have it but did test positive in the antigen test. Turns out in December in Las Vegas the illness I did catch was indeed the coronavirus

Relax dude. I do this for a living, it’s not THAT hard. The companies will do this in collaboration with the government and it’ll have hiccups at first If anything the biggest issue currently is there is basically no contact tracing. I know Apple has it already setup on the phone, but few states have it. It’s absurd how we’re using identical measures to 1918 when we have so much technology on us at all times

Lol I highly recommend a green Christmas. I put lights on the palm trees this week! 60s and sunny is a hell of a way to celebrate the Holidays

Yeah these politicians consistently prove why government is the worst. Denver and Austin’s mayor imposed new restrictions and then boarded an airplane for vacation lol. California’s governor and the SF mayor had a big dinner get together with their families after closing bars and restaurants.

Unreal stretch of weather next week. Gotta love mid 60s and sunny this time of year

I’d like to post here more often but it seems I spend most time on the Lakes/OV threads watching my hometown of Toledo get snow. Since moving to Charleston I’ve definitely gone full heatmiser and became anti-snow

Should just close all schools until next Fall. These K-12 kids are getting a very substandard 5 quarters of education and it aids transmission. The hell are we going to see in the Fall of 2021 once vaccination levels are high? Too many kids are going to be behind and unprepared for college. Plus could save money if you furlough all the teachers at a reduced salary.

I-95 was absurdly busy today. Was at aunt and uncles for Thanksgiving and weekend (we all work remotely) and traffic was averaging 45 mph due to the amount of travelers. Was almost entirely New Jersey, Virginia and Pennsylvania plates heading back. Southbound was all NY and FL drivers
